Installation Overview

4.Select an appropriate mounting location. The Prosine must be mounted vertically on a bulkhead or wall with the AC and DC connectors on the bottom. The Prosine is a solid- state electronic device and must be located in an appropriate environment. (Refer to “Where to Install the Prosine Inverter/Charger‚” on page 42.

5.Configure the Prosine inverter/charger using the DIP switches on the side of the unit. See “Section 3: Configuration‚” on page 25 and following for details.

6.Remove the cover over the AC connector block. Install two, one-inch cable clamps (strain reliefs) in the holes in the cover mounting bracket.

7.Locate the mounting screw locations and pre-drill a pilot hole for each location. For the Prosine 3.0, locate the mounting holes using the mounting brackets provided with the unit, then install the mounting brackets on the Prosine using the fasteners provided.

8.Attach the Prosine inverter/charger to the bulkhead or wall. Use #12 or #14 pan-head wood or sheet metal screws to secure the inverter/charger to the framing behind the wall or bulkhead. Alternatively, use nut inserts and 1/4-20 machine screws.

9.Route the AC input cable through the left cable clamp on the bottom of the inverter/ charger. Strip about two inches of the exterior insulation from the AC cable and separate the three wires. Strip 5/16-inch of insulation from each of the three AC conductors within the AC cable.

10.Insert the AC Line (HOT)

conductor (black insulation) into

the opening at the top of the AC input connector labeled LINE;

insert the Ground conductor (green insulation or bare) into the AC Input connector labeled GND; and insert the Neutral conductor

(white insulation) into the AC

Input connector labeled NEUTRAL. Tighten the screw in the connectors to min. 21 inch-pounds.

11.Route the AC Output cable through the right cable clamp on the bottom of the inverter. Strip about three-inches of the outside insulator from the AC cable and separate the three wires inside. Strip 5/16-inch of insulation from each wire in the AC output cable.

12. Insert the AC Output line, ground, and neutral

conductors into the top openings of the AC output connector block labeled LINE, GND, and NEUTRAL respectively. There are two each connectors on the AC OUTPUT connector block labeled LINE, GND, and NEUTRAL. The two LINE

output connectors are bonded

together; as are the two GND output connectors, and the two NEUTRAL output connectors. The second set is for the GFCI receptacle option. Tighten the screw in each connector to min. 21 inch-pounds.
