Mounting
The instructions in this section apply to an installation including the power distribution
panel. Installation procedures will vary according to your specific application. For special
applications, consult a qualified electrician or your Xantrex Certified Dealer.
Choosing a Location
The XW Solar Charge Controller is designed to be mounted vertically to the side or the
top of the power distribution panel.
The XW SCC must be installed indoors in a dry, protected location away from flammable
materials, sources of high temperature, moisture, and vibration, and direct sunlight. The
location must also be sheltered from direct sunlight, rain, snow, and wind-blown debris.
If using “sealed” batteries, the controller can be mounted in the same enclosure as long as
it is adequately ventilated.
For optimal and safe operation, ensure there is adequate clearance around the XW SCC.
See Table 4-2. If clearances are reduced below these minimums, rated performance may
not be achieved.
Important:
Installations must be compliant with all local electrical codes. Installation of this
equipment should only be performed by a qualified electrician or by a Certified Renewable Energy
(RE) System installer.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Never install the XW SCC where it is exposed to salt water spray. Exposure to salt water will void
the warranty and may cause a malfunction or a shock hazard.
WARNING: Explosion/Corrosion Hazard
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not install the XW SCC in sealed compartments
containing batteries or in locations that require ignition-protected equipment.
To reduce the risk of corrosion from hydrogen-sulfide gas vented by batteries, do not install the XW
SCC in sealed compartments containing batteries.
Table 4-2 Minimum Clearance Requirements
Location Minimum Clearance
Above 6 inches (150 mm). When units are mounted to the side of the power distribution
panel in a vertical stack, the topmost unit must maintain the minimum clearance to
the nearest surface.
In front Sufficient room to allow for easy access to read the display, to prevent accidental
contact with the heat sink, and to perform maintenance.
On sides 6 inches (150 mm) on at least one side of the overall assembly. A maximum of two
units can be mounted side by side or side mounted against the power distribution panel.
In both configurations, the minimum clearance around the outermost unit must be
maintained.
