Installation

Step 10: Connecting the Remote Shutdown

	WARNING: Shock hazard
	This step should only be completed by qualified installers or technicians who have a
	knowledge of DC circuits.
	Connect only to an isolated Class 2 extra-low voltage power source as described below.
	Some installations may require remote shutdown capability. This feature enables
	you disable all circuitry in the PROsine and remove all power from the display
	panel using a remote shutdown switch (e.g. the ignition switch in a vehicle). This
	also removes all power (inverter and shorepower) from the AC loads.
	The remote shutdown signal (RS+/RS–) requires a source of 5–18Vdc, which is
	capable of supplying 5–18mA, to enable the PROsine. This power source must be
	limited to Class 2 levels by an approved 1A fuse. The power source will often be
	one of the existing system batteries: the vehicle starting battery or the PROsine
	battery. In this case, the 1A fuse must be located in the positive (+) side of the
	circuit, as close as possible to the power source.
	Note that the remote shutdown feature will only function when the ON/OFF/REM
	switch is set to REM.
Materials Required	You need two high quality 26AWG, 4-conductor telephone cables with connectors
	attached (one 10 feet maximum; one 100 feet maximum), one 1:2 phone line
	splitter, and a 1A fuse and in-line fuseholder. In addition, you might require a
	single pole, single throw switch (or alternatively, you can use a vehicle ignition-
	switched circuit). You can obtain these from local hardware, electronics, and
	automotive stores.
Installation Steps
	See Figure 3-11 and Figure 3-12.
	To connect the remote shutdown feature
	1. Select one of the two cables and cut it at a convenient location for connecting
	to your Remote Shutdown Switch.
	2. See Figure 3-11 to identify the RS+ and RS– wires.
	3. Insulate the two middle wires so they don’t short.
	4. Connect RS+ to the positive of a switched, fused voltage source of 5–18V.
	5. Connect the RS– to the return of this voltage source.
	6. Plug the cables into the splitter and connect to the PROsine as shown in
	Figure 3-11.
	The Remote Shutdown feature is now ready for use. For operating information,
	see “ON/OFF/REMote Control of PROsine Operation” on page 5–3.
