Step 4: Installing the S400 Remote Switch
Installing the S400 Remote Switch is optional. The XS400 operates
normally without the remote switch.
The S400 Remote Switch is designed to be flush mounted on a wall,
bulkhead or panel. A 25 foot (7.5 meter) telephone cable is supplied with
the remote switch.
If you want to extend the cable, use a high quality, 4-wire telephone
extension cable with 6-position, 4-contact connectors. The maximum
recommended cable length is 50 feet (15 meters).
For your convenience, a full scale mounting template is provided. See
“S400 Remote Switch Mounting Template (Scale approximately 1:1)” on
page 2–27.
To install the remote switch:
1. Choose a location that is dry, free from corrosive or explosive fumes,
and otherwise appropriate for installing an electronic device.
2. Using the template, pilot-drill the mounting holes. Cut an opening
about 2 inches x 1.2 inches (50 mm x 30 mm) and 1.4 inches (35 mm)
deep.
3. Route the telephone cable inside the wall and through the opening to
the inverter.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Before making an opening in a wall, bulkhead or panel, ensure
there is no wiring or other obstruction within the wall.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Ensure both the S400 Remote Switch and the XS400 are in
Standby ( ) mode before installing.
Note: The S400 Remote Switch connects to a jack at the back of the
inverter. See “System Diagram” on page 2–2.
