Battery Requirements
The batteries that you use strongly affect the performance of the XS400. It
is important to connect the inverter to the correct size and type of battery.
See Appendix B, “Battery Types and Sizes” on page B–1 for more
information.
Close to
battery
compartment
Long DC cables must be very large (and expensive), so
they should be kept short (see Table 2-1 on page 2–9).
However, the unit should NOT be installed in the battery
compartment due to the possible presence of explosive
hydrogen gas from the batteries.
Protected
from battery
acid and
gases
Never allow battery acid to drip on the inverter or its
wiring when filling the batteries or reading their specific
gravity. Do not mount the unit where it will be exposed to
gases produced by the batteries. These gases are corrosive
and prolonged exposure will damage the inverter.
Orientation
To meet regulatory requirements, the XS400 must be
mounted on a flat horizontal surface with the front panel in
the upright position.
CAUTION
The XS400 Sine Wave Inverter must only be connected to
batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The XS400
Sine Wave Inverter will not operate from a 6 volt battery and
will be damaged if connected to a 24 volt battery.
