Operating Limits

Power Output

The PROwatt 600 Inverter will deliver 600W or 5A continuously. This wattage rating applies to resistive loads such as incandescent lights while the current rating applies to reactive loads such as motors.

Input Voltage

The input voltage limits are shown in the following table.

Condition

Voltage Range

Comment

 

 

 

Normal

10 V–15 V

 

 

 

 

Peak Performance

12 V–14 V

 

 

 

 

Low Voltage Alarm

At or below 10.7 V

The audible low battery alarm sounds

 

 

and FAULT indicator comes on.

 

 

 

Low Voltage Shut

Less than 10 V

The inverter shuts down to protect the

Down

 

battery from being over-discharged.

 

 

It will not restart unless the input

 

 

voltage exceeds 10 V and the unit is

 

 

manually reset. You manually reset

 

 

the unit by turning it off for 4–5

 

 

seconds and then turning it back on.

 

 

 

High Voltage Shut

At or above 15 V

The inverter shuts down to protect

Down

 

itself from excessive input voltage.

 

 

The FAULT indicator comes on.

 

 

Note: Although the PROwatt 600

 

 

incorporates over-voltage protection,

 

 

it can still be damaged if input

 

 

voltage exceeds 16 V.

 

 

The unit will not restart unless the

 

 

input voltage is less than 15 V and the

 

 

unit is manually reset. You manually

 

 

reset the unit by turning it off for 4–5

 

 

seconds and then turning it back on.
