This guide for use by qualified installers only.
Step 2: Mounting the Inverter/Charger
Considerations
Before mounting the Freedom SW 2000, take the following two factors into
account.
1. The weight of the inverter/charger requires two people to install it.
2. Mounting considerations are shown in Figure 1 on page 18.
The Freedom SW 2000 approved mounting orientations are illustrated in
Figure 1 on page 18.
Mount your inverter/charger before you connect any wires or cables.
To mount the inverter/charger:
1. Remove the inverter/charger from its shipping container.
2. Verify that all components are present, and record relevant product
information on form WA-4 in the Freedom SW 2000 Sine Wave
Inverter/Charger Owner’s Guide.
3. Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation. To meet
regulatory requirements, the Freedom SW 2000 must be mounted in
one of the orientations shown in Figure 1 on page 18.
4. Mark the position of the mounting holes.
5. Pilot drill the four mounting holes.
6. Fasten the inverter/charger to the mounting surface with four 1/4"–20
steel screws or bolts.
HEAVY LOAD
The Freedom SW 2000 Inverter/Charger is heavy (see “Inverter/Charger
Physical Specifications” on page 36)
. The unit is too heavy for one
person to safely lift and mount. Xantrex recommends that two people lift
and mount the unit. Always use proper lifting techniques during
installation to prevent personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate
injury.
