Mounting the XADC
To mount the XADC using the mounting plates:
1. Align the XADC with the 4 previously marked mounting positions.
2. Fasten the XADC using 4 × #6 or #8 pan head, round head or washer head
screws suitable for mounting unit onto particleboard or wood. Tighten until
the unit is secure to the mounting surface.

AC/DC Distribution Panel (called panel for the purposes of these instructions).
Follow the procedures in the order given:
1. “Preparing to Install”
2. “Connecting the XADC and Panel Together”
3. “Preparing the Mounting Location for the XADC and Panel”
4. “Connecting the DC to the Panel”
5. “Connecting the Panel to the XADC DC Side”
6. “Connecting the Panel to the XADC AC Side”
7. “Connecting the AC to the Panel”
8. “Mounting the XADC and Panel Remotely”
9. “Mounting the XADC and Panel when Connected”
Configurations
The XADC and panel may either be connected together and mounted in a single
mounting hole, or they may be mounted in separate mounting positions.
Preparing to Install
To prepare the panel for installation:
1. Open the door on the panel and remove the center screw.
2. Remove the panel faceplate.
3. Remove the correct number of AC and DC knockouts for your installation
from the back of the panel.
Important: If you intend to mount the XADC and panel remotely, remember that twice
the distance between the XADC and the panel is to be calculated as part of the DC cable
run length as recommended in Table 2 on page 24.
