INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You are the proud owner of the finest inverter on the market today - and one very
complex piece of equipment. The Trace™ Sine wave (SW Series) Inverter/Charger has many features
and capabilities previously either non-existent, or found only in separate products.
With proper installation, the inverter will operate satisfactorily for many applications straight out of the box,
using the factory default settings. To fully utilize the inverter's generator interactive, or utility interactive
capabilities, it is necessary to understand the way the inverter operates and then tailor its operation via the
Control Panel and the USER and SETUP menu systems. This manual will provide the necessary
information. However, it is recommended that you consult with your authorized dealer to ensure correct
installation and maximum utilization of the numerous features of this product. If you do not understand any
aspect of installation, contact your authorized Xantrex dealer/installer for assistance.
If you intend to operate the inverter in a utility interactive mode, in which power will be sold to the utility,
you must contact the local utility office and get their approval. The utility may require additional information
that may not be included in this manual. Please contact your authorized Xantrex dealer/installer for
assistance.
As a minimum, you should read the sections of the manual that relate to your type of installation. The
MENU SYSTEM section, beginning on page 33, explains how to make changes to the inverter’s
user/setup menus. The OPERATION section, beginning on page 57, explains how the inverter works in
each of its different operating modes. Focus on the operating modes that relate best to your type of
installation and make the appropriate selections and adjustments. Installation diagrams are provided for
many of the various applications. This menu system provides control of the inverter, allows features to be
enabled, and allows setting of operating parameters.
This is a long manual and much of it is fairly technical. Throughout this manual terms may be used that
are unfamiliar, see the INVERTER/CHARGER TERMINOLOGY glossary on page 115 for clarification. If
you are an insomniac, properly used, this manual is guaranteed to provide several good nights of sleep.
Note: This manual is specific to the REVISION 4.01 software. Some features discussed may not
be included in previous software revisions provided in inverters manufactured before March
1996.
You can verify that the inverter is using REVISION 4.01 software by checking under the TRACE
ENGINEERING (3) menu heading. The second menu item should read REVISION 4.01. If your inverter
includes a previous software version, please contact your authorized Xantrex dealer regarding upgrade
options.
