Turning the Inverter On and Off

Turning the Inverter On and Off

The On/Off switch on the front panel turns the control circuit in the PROwatt 600 on and off.

To turn the inverter on or off:

Turn the On/Off switch or off.

CAUTION

The inverter’s On/Off switch does not disconnect power from the PROwatt.

When the switch is Off, the inverter draws no current from the battery.

Operating Several Loads at Once

If you are going to operate several loads from the

PROwatt 600, turn them on separately after you have turned the inverter on. This will ensure that the inverter does not have to deliver the starting current for all the loads at once.

Turning the Inverter Off Between Charges

When the switch is on but no power is being supplied to a load, the inverter draws less than 300 mA from the battery. This is a low current draw. It would take more than a week to discharge a 100 Ah battery at this current, so you don’t have to worry about excessive drain on your battery if you leave the inverter switched on for a few days.

If you are not planning to recharge your battery within a week or so, turn the inverter off.
