Installation
This section describes the basic installation of the Xantrex RC6
Remote On/Off Switch and Monitor.
ou can install the RC6 easily if you follow a few basic rules and guidelines.
•
Mount the RC6 in a dry location away from moisture and high humidity.
•
Clean with a soft cloth dampened with water (you can use a little dish
soap if needed).
•
Use Xantrex connector cable for best results. This cable is tinned its
entire length for better corrosion resistance.
Installation Procedure
You can mount the RC6 inside a cutout in a wall or panel. Using the faceplate as
a template, drill four 1/16-inch holes for mounting screws (not included). The
cutout for the RC6 should be 4-1/8 inches wide by 4-3/16 inches high by at
least 15/16 of an inch deep. Next plug the cable into the connector on the back
of the RC6, then to the inverter. It is never recommended to route any low-
voltage DC wiring (such as the RC6 cable) in the same conduit or bundle with
wiring that carries AC power. Induced current may cause false triggering, or, at
worst, failure of the electronic device to which the DC wiring is connected. The
last step is to set the RC6 in place and secure it with four mounting screws.
Plug the RC6’s cable into the port labeled remote on the inverter, turn the
inverter off and then on and the pair will be ready for service. That’s all there is
to it!
