Introduction

Ease of Use

Superior features and rugged durability have been combined with ease of use:

The unit is compact, light weight, and easy to install.

You can power loads directly from the dual GFCI-protected AC receptacles on the front panel.

Easy-to-read digital display on the front panel lets you monitor system performance at a glance.

The optional PROwatt Remote Panel lets you control the inverter from a convenient location—up to 25 feet (7.6 m) away—while the inverter itself is mounted out of sight and close to the batteries.

A convenient USB port powers most modern electronic products.

Comprehensive Protection

The PROwatt SW Inverter is equipped with the following protection features:

GFCI protection

De-energizes the AC circuits and thereby

 

protects the user from electric shock if a ground

 

fault occurs.

 

 

Low battery voltage

Alerts you if the battery has become discharged

alarm

to 11 V or lower.

 

 

Low battery voltage

Automatically shuts the inverter down if the

shutdown

battery voltage drops below 10.5 V. This feature

 

protects the battery from being completely

 

discharged. Within five minutes after

 

shutdown, the unit recovers automatically once

 

the battery voltage reaches above 11.5 Vdc.

 

After five minutes, the unit turns itself off.

 

 

High battery voltage

Shuts the inverter down automatically if the

shutdown

input voltage rises to more than 15.5 V. Within

 

five minutes after shutdown, the unit recovers

 

automatically once the battery voltage falls

 

below 15.5 Vdc. After five minutes, the unit

 

turns itself off.

 

 

AC output overload

Shuts the unit down automatically if a short

shutdown

circuit occurs or if the loads attached to the

 

inverter exceed the operating limits.

 

 

Over temperature

Turns the inverter off if its temperature rises

shutdown

above an acceptable level. Within five minutes

 

after shutdown, the unit recovers automatically

 

once the temperature of the unit cools down.

 

After five minutes of operating in high

 

temperature, the unit turns itself off.
