975-0301-01-01 11
• XADC converter faceplate and mounting hardware
• Plastic bag containing two mounting tabs and related hardware, one top
mounting flange and related hardware
Choosing a Location
The XADC and AC/DC Distribution Panel must only be installed in a location
that is:
The XADC may be mounted in 3 orientations:
• horizontally on a flat surface
• vertically on a wall with fan vent facing left
• vertically on a wall with fan vent facing right
Dry Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or splash on the XADC.
Cool While the unit will safely operate at ambient air temperatures between 14 ºF and 86 ºF
(-10 ºC and 30 ºC) and will operate de-rated between 86 ºF and 140ºF (30 ºC and 60 ºC)
— the cooler the better within this range. At ambients in excess of 140ºF (60ºC) the
XADC may shut down.
Ventilated Allow at least 18 inches (45.7 cm) of clearance at the front of the XADC for air flow.
Ensure that the ventilation openings are not obstructed.
Safe Do not install the XADC or panel in the same compartment as batteries or in any
compartment capable of storing flammable liquids like gasoline.
Protected from
battery gases Do not mount the XADC or panel where it will be exposed to gases produced by batteries.
Battery gases are corrosive, and prolonged exposure to battery gases will damage them.
