Mounting
the
Xantrex
Complete
Charge
Controller
Use
the
four
mounting
holes
at
the
base
of
the
Xantrex
Complete
Charge
Controller
to
mount
the
unit
to
a
wall.
The
controller
is
designed
for
indoor
mounting.
Care
should
be
taken
in
selecting
a
location
and
when
mounting
the
enclosure.
Avoid
mounting
it
in
direct
sun
light
to
prevent
heating
of
the
enclosure.
The
enclosure
should
be
mounted
vertically
on
a
wall.
In
outdoor
installations,
the
C-­‐Series
controller
must
be
installed
in
a
rainproof
enclosure
to
eliminate
exposure
to
rain,
mist
or
water-­‐spray.
Connecting
the
Wind
Turbine
to
the
Xantrex
Complete
Charge
Controller
The
three
AC
wires
from
the
3-­‐phase
AC
wind
turbine
or
renewable
energy
source
need
to
be
connected
to
the
three
AC
terminals
on
the
3-­‐phase
AC
bridge
rectifier.
Depending
on
(a)
the
length
of
the
wire
run
between
the
wind
turbine
and
the
Xantrex
Complete
Charge
Controller
and
(b)
the
power
that
the
wind
turbine
produces,
the
three
wires
traveling
from
the
wind
turbine
to
the
3-­‐phase
bridge
rectifier
should
be
8,
10
or
12
AWG
stranded,
outdoor
rated
wire.
There
is
one
unused
cable
gland
on
the
face
of
the
Xantrex
Complete
Charge
Controller
which
is
to
be
used
to
run
these
three
wires
into
the
enclosure.
See
photo
and
instructions
below
in
Figure
2.

Run
the
three
AC
wires
coming
from
the
wind
turbine
or
renewable
energy
source
(yellow
wires)
through
the
unused
cable
gland.
Then
connect
these
three
wires
to
the
three
empty
terminals
on
the
3-­‐phase
bridge
rectifier.
Make
sure
the
your
firmly
tighten
the
cable
gland
after
you
have
installed
the
three
wires.
