Pre-Installation
Before installing the XW Inverter/Charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings
located in this manual.
Location

length short. The maximum recommended battery cable length is 10 feet (3 m).
Locate any electronic equipment susceptible to radio frequency and electromagnetic
interference as far away from the inverter as possible.
Fire safety Do not locate the inverter near readily flammable materials such as cloth, paper, straw, or
plastic sheeting. Flammable materials should be kept a minimum distance of 24 inches
(60 cm) from the top surface and 12 inches (30 cm) from either side surface and the front
of the XW Inverter/Charger.
Knockout Preparation
Remove your choice of knockouts from the chassis to facilitate conduit installation for
wire runs. Ensure no debris from this procedure remains inside the inverter enclosure.
