Step 2: Mounting the Inverter/Charger
Considerations
Before mounting the RS3000, 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 4 on page 20.
The RS3000 dimensions and location of the mounting holes are provided in
Figure 15 on page 39.
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 RS3000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger
Operation Guide.
3. Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation. To meet regulatory
requirements, the RS3000 must be mounted in one of the orientations shown
in Figure 4 on page 20.
4. Mark the position of the mounting holes. Refer to Figure 15 on page 39.
5. Pilot drill the six mounting holes.
6. Fasten the inverter/charger to the mounting surface with six 1/4"–20 steel
screws or bolts.
WARNING: Heavy load
The RS3000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger is heavy (see “Inverter/Charger Physical
Specifications” on page 38)
. 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.
