Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

Before you install and use your Prosine

Inverter, be sure to read and save these safety instructions.

General Safety Precautions

1.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This OWNER’S MANUAL contains important safety and operating information for the Prosine Inverter.

2.Do not expose the Prosine Inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the Prosine Inverter in a zero- clearance compartment. Overheating may result.

3.Do not use attachments not recommended or sold by Xantrex. Doing so may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

4.The Prosine Inverter is designed to be permanently connected to your DC electrical systems (and for hardwire versions, 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.

5.To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical condition; and that wire size is not undersized. Do not operate the Prosine Inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.

6.Do not operate the Prosine Inverter if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. If the Prosine Inverter has been damaged, refer to Section 6 of this manual.

7.Do not disassemble the Prosine Inverter; refer to Section 6 of this manual for instructions on obtaining service for the Prosine Inverter. Attempting to service the unit yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.

8.To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect the DC power (and AC power if applicable on hardwire versions) from the Prosine Inverter before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any equipment and circuits connected to the Prosine Inverter. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.

9.Grounding: The Prosine Inverter must be provided with an equipment-grounding conductor connected to the AC input ground terminal. Grounding and all other wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances.

10.For marine applications, special installation codes may apply. For example, in the U.S., the installation shall comply with the United States Coast Guard Electrical Regulations (33CFR183, Sub part 1).

Explosive Gas Precautions

1.This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in locations which require ignition protected equipment.This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connection between components of the fuel system.

2.Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation.

3.To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.

Precautions When Working With Batteries

1.Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

2.Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

3.Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.

4.Clean battery terminals before making connections. Wear eye protection to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.

5.If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

6.NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.

7.Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or short-circuit on the battery or other electrical part may cause an explosion.

8.Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
