SW Series Inverter/Charger
Part No. 2031-5
Rev. C: February 2001
APPENDIX
OPTIONS
Options available for the SW Series Inverter/Charger include a choice of remote controls, and a battery
temperature control.
SWRC
The optional SWRC Remote Control (SWRC or SWRC/50FT) has the ability to communicate with and
adjust settings in the SW Series Inverter/Charger. It is operational whenever DC power is applied to the
inverter DC input terminals.
The SWRC is connected to the remote control port labeled REMOTE* on the left side (AC side) of the SW
Series Inverter/Charger, using the provided DB-25 communications cable. Two cable lengths are available
- 25 feet (8 meters) or 50 feet (16 meters). Distances longer than 50 feet (16 meters) are not
recommended.
The SWRC displays its information on a LCD screen, which duplicates the functions of the integral Control
Panel on the SW Series Inverter/Charger, but it allows these functions to be performed and/or observed
from a remote location (up to 50 feet from the inverter). Once the desired changes have been made, the
SWRC may be unplugged and these changes will be retained, except if the inverter is completely powered
down. When the SWRC is connected to the inverter, the inverter’s status LED’s still operate normally.
Installation and operating instructions are included with the SWRC.
∗
You may connect either the SWRC or SWCA. Both options cannot be connected at the same time.
SWCA
The Sine wave Communications Adapter (SWCA) serial communications interface adapter allows for
remote set-up, adjustment, troubleshooting and monitoring of SW Series inverters from a personal
computer and allows modem access monitoring over long distances. The SWCA allows direct access of
up to eight SW Series inverters via standard telephone type wire.
The SWCA is connected to the remote control port labeled REMOTE* on the left side (AC side) of the SW
Series Inverter/Charger, using the provided DB-25 communications cable.
∗
You may connect either the SWRC or SWCA. Both options cannot be connected at the same time.
The SWCA provides the following features:
•
Remote set-up: The SWCA is capable of direct connection to a modem for use in remote sites
where a computer is not desired. This makes remote set-up simple and easy for end users, dealer,
distributors or anyone familiar SW Series Inverter/Chargers. With an on-site modem and cellular
communications network, costly trips are no longer necessary. Simply dial up your onsite modem and
reset or adjust your systems via a virtual control panel simulation.
•
Troubleshooting: In the event that problems occur in the field, the SWCA can be used to do simple
troubleshooting by accessing meters and error conditions from your home or office. This feature is
great for new users and allows dealers to guide their customers through simple set-up and adjustment
problems that would usually require on-site assistance. An ideal service program for authorized
Xantrex service centers distributors and dealers.
•
Monitoring: By simply paralleling the four-cable conductor, access to eight adapters is made
possible. Further long-term monitoring can be made via an external data-logging device.
SWCB
The SWCB conduit box consists of a metal enclosure for connection to the SW Series Inverter/Charger
and is provided to meet applicable codes and safety standards. The SWCB may be fitted to the DC side of
the SW Series Inverter/Charger. The SWCB has ½”, ¾” and 2” knockouts for attaching conduit hardware.
