WARNING

The PROwatt 600 contains components that tend to produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install the PROwatt in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in locations that require ignition-protected equipment.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the PROwatt 600 in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.

The PROwatt 600 Inverter should only be installed in a location that meets these requirements:

Dry

Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or splash

 

on the PROwatt 600.

Cool

Ambient air temperature should be between 32º F

 

and 105º F (0º C and 40º C)—the cooler the better

 

within this range.

Ventilated

Leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) clearance around the

 

PROwatt 600 for air flow. Ensure that ventilation

 

openings at the front and rear are not obstructed.

Safe

Do not install the inverter in the same compartment

 

as batteries or in any compartment capable of storing

 

flammable liquids like gasoline.

DC cables must be shorter than 4 feet (1.2 m) each.

battery

Longer AC wires are preferable to longer DC wires.

Protected

Do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to

from battery

battery gases. These are very corrosive, and

gases

prolonged exposure will damage the inverter.
