Step 2: Mounting the Inverter/Charger
Considerations
Before mounting the RS2000, take the following two factors into account.
1. The weight of the inverter/charger requires two people to install it.
2. Mounting considerations are shown in Figure 4 on page 20 and described in
Table 3 on page 20.
The RS2000 dimensions and location of the mounting holes are provided in
Figure 15 on page 38.
Mount your inverter/charger before you connect any wires or cables.
To mount the inverter/charger:
1. Remove the inverter/charger from its shipping container.
The inverter/charger is shipped on a packaging board which can also serve as
a template.
2. Remove the four screws that attach the inverter/charger to the packaging
board. Use the box handles provided to move the unit.
3. Verify that all components are present, and record relevant product
information on form WA-4 in the
RS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger
Operation Guide.
4. Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation. To meet regulatory
requirements, the RS2000 must be mounted in one of the six orientations
shown in Figure 4.
5. Use the packaging board as a template to mark the position of the mounting
screws or refer to Figure 15 on page 38.
6. Pilot drill the six mounting holes.
7. Fasten the inverter/charger to the mounting surface with the six ¼"–20 steel
screws or bolts.
WARNING: Heavy load
The RS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger weighs approximately 67 lbs (30 kg)
.
The unit is
too heavy for one person to safely lift and mount. Xantrex recommends that two people
lift and mount the unit. Always use proper lifting techniques during installation to prevent
personal injury.
Important:
Do not use the four screws which attach the unit to the template for
mounting the unit. See “Installation Tools and Materials” on page 15 for recommended
screw size.
