8 Xantrex PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter Owner’s Guide
Installation
Mount The Inverter
1. Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation. The
unit can be oriented in any way, such as:
• Horizontally on a vertical surface or
• On or under a horizontal surface.
2. Hold the inverter against the mounting surface and mark the
positions using the mounting flanges as guide.
3. Pilot-drill the four mounting holes.
4. Fasten the inverter to the mounting surface using corrosion-
resistant hardware sized #10.
Dry Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or
splash on the inverter.
Cool Ambient air temperature should be between
32 ºF and 104 º F (0 ºC and 40 º C)—the cooler
the better within this range.
Ventilated Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance
around the inverter for air flow. Ensure that
ventilation openings on the DC end and the
bottom of the unit are not obstructed.
Safe Do not install the inverter in the same
compartment as batteries or in any
compartment capable of storing flammable
liquids like gasoline.
Close to battery Do not use excessive DC cable lengths: they
increase wire resistance and reduce input
power.
Protected from
battery gases
Do not mount the inverter where it will be
exposed to gases produced by the batteries.
These gases are very corrosive and prolonged
exposure will damage the inverter.
DC connections should NOT
point up or down.
