Choosing an Appropriate Location
The
XPower Plus
must only be installed in a location that is:
:
WARNING: Explosion or Fire Hazard
The
XPower Plus
contains components that tend to produce arcs or
sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install the inverter in
compartments containing batteries or flammable materials, or in
locations that require ignition-protected equipment.
WARNING: Fire Hazard
To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings. Do not install the
XPower Plus
in a zero-clearance
compartment. Overheating may result.
Dry
Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or splash on it.
Cool
Ambient air temperature should be between 32º F and
105º F (0º C and 40º C)—the cooler the better within this
range.
Ventilated
Allow at least 3 inches (76 mm) of clearance around the
inverter for air flow. Ensure that the ventilation openings on
the DC end and on 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. Longer AC wires are
preferable to longer DC wires: wire resistance (and
therefore voltage drop) is less and the cost is lower.
Protected from
battery gases
Do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to gases
produced by batteries. Battery gases are corrosive, and
prolonged exposure to battery gases will damage the
inverter.
