Mounting the Inverter

Mounting the Inverter

To mount the PROwatt 600 Inverter:

1.Turn off the inverter’s On/Off switch.

2.Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation. The PROwatt must be oriented in one of these two ways:

•Horizontally on a vertical surface. (The ventilation openings must not point up or down.)

•On or under a horizontal surface

3.Mark the positions of the four mounting screws, and pilot-drill the mounting holes.

4.Fasten the inverter using corrosion-resistant hardware sized #10 or larger.

Connecting the Chassis Ground

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard

Never operate the PROwatt 600 without connecting the chassis to ground. Electrical shock hazard could result.

This inverter does not provide isolation between the DC and AC circuits. Therefore the AC line and neutral are both “hot” relative to battery negative. The ground pins of the AC output receptacles are connected to the battery negative as is the chassis of the inverter.

The PROwatt 600 has a screw terminal labeled CHASSIS GND on the rear panel as shown in Figure 1. This is to be used to connect the inverter’s chassis to the ground. To connect the chassis to ground, follow the guidelines below.
