975-0239-01-01 Rev G 3–13
This manual is for use by qualified personnel only
Battery cables are not included in the Conext XW+ Inverter/Charger package.
Depending on your installation requirements, you will need to supply at least one
pair of battery cables. For battery cable requirements, see “Battery Cable
Requirements” on page 2–14.
WARNING
OVERHEATING OF DC TERMINALS AND CABLES
Overheating of the DC terminals or DC cables to dangerous temperatures may
occur due to improper installation.
• Do not put anything between the cable lug and the terminal surface.
• Do not over-tighten connections; observe all recommended torque values.
• Do not apply any type of anti-oxidant paste until after the cable connection is
tightened.
• Do not under size cables; install cables sized in accordance with national
electrical code requirements.
• DC cables must have crimped copper compression lugs or crimped and
soldered copper compression lugs; soldered connections alone are not
acceptable. Lugs must be rated for use with fine-stranded cable.
• Do not use coarse-stranded cable; the lack of flexibility may pull DC terminal
connections loose.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
DC REVERSE POLARITY
Before making the final DC connection or closing the DC breaker or
disconnect, check cable polarity at both the battery and the inverter/charger.
Positive (+) must be connected to positive (+). Negative (–) must be
connected to negative (–).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to equipment.
Note: One pair of #4/0 AWG Arctic Ultraflex Blue™ battery cables is included
with each Conext XW+ Power Distribution Panel and Conext XW+ Connection Kit
for INV2 INV3 PDP. For more information, see “Optional Accessories” on page 1–
