INSTALLATION
This section is very important, since it tells you how to properly install your SW Series Inverter/Charger.
It becomes very frustrating when your inverter system does not perform properly, simply because care
was not taken during installation. Please read this entire section carefully. You will save time and avoid
common mistakes.
This section also describes the requirements and recommendations for installing the SW Series
Inverter/Charger. In the U.S., the National Electrical Code (NEC) defines the standards for both the AC
and DC wiring in residential, commercial and RV applications. It will list the requirement for wire sizes,
overcurrent protection and installation methods and requirements. There are still many other variables not
covered by the NEC. Most are determined by the level of automatic operation, the amount of external AC
and DC power to be controlled and the loads to be operated.
The NEC standards and regulations are described here in general for your convenience, and are not
represented as comprehensive or complete. For comprehensive and complete official standards and
regulations, write the address listed below:
NFPA - National Fire Protection Association
National Electrical Code Handbook
1 Batterymarch Park,
PO Box 9101
Quincy, MA 02269-9101
617-770-3000.
Before beginning the installation of the SW Series Inverter/Charger, read all instructions. Disconnect all
sources of AC and DC power to prevent accidental shock. Disable and secure all AC and DC disconnect
devices and automatic generator starting devices.
All installations should meet all local codes and standards and be performed by qualified
personnel such as a licensed electrician. Although the DC electrical system may be “low voltage”,
significant hazards may be present, particularly from short circuits of the battery system. Inverter systems
by their nature involve power from multiple sources (inverter, generator, utility, batteries, solar arrays etc.)
that add hazards and complexity that can be very challenging.
After you have finished installing your unit, continue with the FUNCTIONAL TEST section on page 31.
This Functional Test should be completed prior to configuring your unit’s Menu System for your specific
operation.
