2.0 INSTALLATION
The SWCA converts the REMOTE port on the SW series inverter/charger into a
standard RS232 type communications port interface.
See Figure 2-1 for the location of the REMOTE PORT on the SW inverter/
charger.
TO INSTALL THE SWCA
1. Connect the SWCA adapter to the SW series inverter/charger remote port
located on the left end of the inverter, near the AC wiring compartment.
NOTE: There are two ports located on the inverter – one
is used for the stacking cable and the other is for the
remote control port. Make sure you connect the SWCA to
the correct port. If a SW series remote control is being
used, it will have to be disconnected while the SWCA is
in use.
2. Connect the phone cable to the phone jack on the gray SWCA housing and to
the black serial port adapter.
3. Plug the serial port adapter into the computer serial port.
NOTE: On some computers, a DB9-to-DB25 adapter
may be needed to allow connection.

SW Inverter/Charger Remote Port Location
NOTE: The location of the REMOTE PORT may vary
slightly depending upon the model of SW inverter/charger
being used. All models should be labeled, however, to
simplify the identification and location of the port.
