Step 2: Mounting the Inverter/Charger
Considerations
Before mounting the Freedom SW 3000, 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 3 on page 21.
The Freedom SW 3000 dimensions and location of the mounting holes are
provided in Figure 3 on page 21.
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 3000 Sine Wave
Inverter/Charger Owner’s Guide.
3. Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation. To meet
regulatory requirements, the Freedom SW 3000 must be mounted in
one of the orientations shown in Figure 3 on page 21.
4. Mark the position of the mounting holes.
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.
HEAVY LOAD
The Freedom SW 3000 Inverter/Charger is heavy (see “Inverter/Charger
Physical Specifications” on page 40)
. 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.
