Mounting
The XW Power System is designed to be mounted on a vertical surface. The supporting
surface must be strong enough to support a minimum of 500 pounds (227 kg). To facilitate
installation, a wall mounting plate (Xantrex p/n 210-0462-01-01) is provided for each XW
Inverter/Charger and XW Power Distribution Panel. The mounting plate and hardware on
the XW Inverter/Charger and XW Power Distribution Panel are designed to meet
standards for structural and seismic stability. When properly installed, the system also
meets Section 59 of UL 1741 for Static Loads.
Step 1: Installing the Mounting Plate
Each XW Inverter/Charger and XW Power Distribution Panel requires a separate mounting
plate. This bracket is first attached to the wall, then the inverter/charger or distribution panel
is attached to the wall bracket.
The wall bracket is attached to the wall with lag bolts or other fasteners, provided by the
installer. A minimum of four ¼-inch diameter fasteners are required. The fasteners must be
sufficiently strong to support 500 pounds.
The wall bracket has mounting holes spaced 16 inches (40 cm) apart and is designed to span
two wall studs spaced 16 inches on-center. Additional mounting holes are also provided for
flexibility in mounting options. If the wall does not have 16-inch on-center studs, the
installer will need to provide adequate supports for the brackets. For example, a sheet of
plywood can be attached to the wall, and the wall brackets can then be attached to plywood.
Both the XW Inverter/Charger and XW Power Distribution Panel use the same wall bracket.
The brackets are designed to interlock (as shown in Figure 2-5), so that additional mounting
plates are easily installed without additional measuring or levelling.
The type of fastener required to secure the mounting plate varies according to the vertical
surface and wall structure of your installation location.
