Unpacking and Inspecting the Inverter
Before installing your Sine Wave Plus Inverter/Charger , perform the
following.
❐ Carefully unpack the Sine Wave Plus from its shipping carton.
❐ Inspect for shipping damage and contact the shipping company if
there is damage.
❐ Verify that all of the following items are present. Please call your
authorized Xantrex dealer if any items are missing.
• The Sine Wave Plus Inverter/Charger
• The Sine Wave Plus Inverter/Charger Owner’s Guide
• The Battery Temperature Sensor
• Battery Terminal Covers (with associated hardware)
❐ Save your proof-of-purchase. This is required if the unit should need
warranty service.
Important: The battery voltage MUST match the voltage requirements of the
inverter. To determine the correct voltage for the system, check the last two digits
on the inverter’s model number. For example, the Sine Wave Plus 2524 is a
24-volt inverter and requires a 24 Vdc battery system.
