WARNING

Review the Important Safety Instructions found at the beginning of this manual and read this entire section, paying particular attention to the CAUTION and WARNING statements, before proceeding with the installation.

This section contains instructions for installing the Xantrex Prosine Inverter. After securing the unit and making wiring connections, do not turn the unit on. Proceed to the next section of the manual which provides operating instructions.

2.1 Requirements for Installation

CAUTION

The Pro sine Inverter is designed to be permanently connected to your DC electrical system. When Configured as an AC hardwire version, the inverter is also designed to be permanently connected to your AC electrical system. To ensure adherence to proper electrical wiring regulations, all wiring must be done by a certified technician or electrician.

Installation Regulations: Depending on the type of location in which you are installing the Prosine Inverter, there are different codes and regulations that the installation must meet such as your national and local electrical codes for residential installations. Other examples of codes and regulations for North American installations include:

•US Coast Guard and ABYC requirements for installations on marine vessels

•RV Industry Association (RVIA), CSA, and UL requirements for installations in recreational vehicles.

It is the installer´s responsibility to ensure that all applicable installation requirements are met.

What You Need to Install the Prosine Inverter

You need the following tools and hardware to properly install the inverter:

•wire stripper

•mounting screws/bolts (¼” or 6mm diameter screws)

•small flat blade screwdriver (for hardwire versions)

•small Phillips screwdriver

•wrench for DC terminals (½” or 13mm)

•AC wiring for hardwire configured models (see AC wiring section for details)

•DC cables (see DC wiring section for details)

•Wire connectors and crimp tool for your DC cables

•AC and DC disconnects and over-current protective devices (see section 2.4.1 for details)

2.2 Locating the Prosine Inverter

The inverter utilizes complex electronic circuits, and although design precautions have been made for protection of these circuits, they can be susceptible to damage from use in extreme environments. The Prosine Inverter should only be installed in a location that meets the following requirements:

•Dry: do not allow water or other fluids to drip or splash on the Prosine Inverter. Do not mount the inverter in an area subject to splashing or dripping water or bilge.

•Cool: normal ambient air temperature should be between 0°C (32°F) and 25°C (77°F)—the cooler the better within this range. Refer to the operating temperature information in section 9 (specifications) for more details.

•Ventilated: allow at least 5 inches (13 cm) of clearance all around the unit. Ensure the ventilation openings on the unit are not obstructed. If mounting in a compartment, ventilate with louvers or cut-outs.

•Safe: do not install the Prosine Inverter in the same compartment as batteries or in any compartment capable of storing flammable liquids such as gasoline. Do not install the inverter in an engine compartment or other location where ignition protected equipment is required.

•Dust-free:do not install the Prosine Inverter in a dusty environment where either dust, wood particles or other filings/shavings are present. These can be pulled into the unit when the cooling fan is operating.

•Close to AC junction box: avoid the use of extended wire lengths if possible.

•Close to battery/batteries: Avoid excessive cable lengths but do not install the Prosine Inverter in the same compartment as batteries. Use the recommended wire lengths and sizes (see section 2.4.4). Also do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to the gases produced by the battery. These gases are very corrosive and prolonged exposure will damage the inverter.

•Protected from battery acid: never allow battery acid to drip on the Prosine Inverter or its wiring when reading specific gravity or filling the battery.

2.3 Mounting the Prosine Inverter

Before mounting the Prosine Inverter, test the chosen location for adequate space around the unit to allow for connections and ventilation. Mounting hardware should be corrosion resistant and ¼” or 6mm diameter screws. Your mounting system should be able to support three times the weight of the inverter, which weighs approximately 16 lbs (7.3Kg). The more clearance for ventilation around the unit, the better the performance. At a minimum, have 5” of free space on all sides of the inverter.

To mount the Prosine Inverter

1.Mount the Prosine Inverter on either a horizontal or vertical surface (such as a bulkhead) using the mounting holes provided. For secure, permanent mounting, use all eight mounting holes. To meet regulatory requirements, the inverter must be mounted in one of the three orientations shown.
