Page 16: Installation
Installation Guidelines Follow all instructions from this guide and instructions including safety guidelines from the battery manufacturer. Installing battery cables require some electrical knowledge and local electrical codes. WARNING If you do not have some electrical knowledge and knowledge of local electrical codes or are not comfortable installing cables yourself, use a qualified installer including a licensed technician and electrician. - Page 17 Determine Battery Capacity Battery type and battery size strongly affect the performance of the PROwatt SW Inverter. Therefore, you need to identify the type of loads your inverter will be powering and how much you will be using them between charges. Once you know how much power you will be using, you can determine how much battery capacity you need.
- Page 18 Installation Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or splash on the inverter. Cool Ambient air temperature should be between 32 ºF and 104 º F (0 ºC and 40 º C)—the cooler the better within this range. Ventilated Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance around the inverter for air flow.
- Page 19 Connect the Chassis Ground WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Never operate the PROwatt SW Inverter without connecting it to the ground. Electrical shock hazard could result. The PROwatt SW Inverter has a screw terminal labeled CHASSIS GND on the outside of the rear panel as shown in Figure 3, “PROwatt SW Inverter Back Panel (PROwatt SW 600 shown)”...
- Page 20 Installation Cabling Guidelines Follow these guidelines and refer to Table 1 : Voltage Drop Per Foot of DC Cable on page 10 to determine battery cable lengths. • Use 4 AWG copper (90 ºC insulation rating) as the smallest battery cable size. This will minimize the voltage drop between the battery and the inverter.
- Page 21 Fuse/Circuit Breaker Sizing Guidelines Because batteries can produce thousands of amps, you are required to install DC-rated fuses (or circuit breakers) that can safely withstand the short-circuit current batteries can produce. To select the correct fuse type and size: Determine the total cold cranking amp rating for your battery(s).
- Page 22 Installation Cabling Procedure Consult the following configurations and determine a match specific to your installation and follow the installation procedure “To connect the battery cables:” that comes next.

- Page 23 WARNING: Risk of electrical shock or fire. The PROwatt SW Inverter does not come with a DC-rated fuse (or circuit breaker) to safely withstand the short- circuit current batteries can produce. To avoid the risk of electrical shock or fire, install a DC-rated fuse (and fuse holder) on the positive battery terminal.
- Page 24 Installation Attach the connector on the negative cable to the negative battery terminal. Note: This is the last cable connection. You may observe a spark when making this last connection. Note: Make a secure connection. Loose connectors cause excessive voltage drop and may cause overheated wires and melted insulation.

Page 25: Operation
Operation Turning the Inverter On and Off The power switch on the inverter’s front panel turns the control circuit in the PROwatt SW Inverter on and off. To toggle the inverter on and off from its front panel: Press the inverter’s power switch button (for half a second) to turn On the inverter (from Off). - Page 26 Operation To test (or reset) the GFCI protection: Press the unit’s power switch to turn the inverter On. Plug a test lamp into the AC outlet. Push the TEST button. Note: The RESET button should pop out and the power should turn Off (the lamp should go out).

Page 27: Operating Limits
Operating Limits Power Output The PROwatt SW Inverter will deliver the following power continuously, depending on input voltage and ambient temperature. The inverter will deliver more than 10% of its continuous power rating for approximately five minutes. The inverter must cool down for 15 minutes before it can resume operation above its continuous power rating. -
Page 28: Inverter Loads
Operation Inverter Loads The PROwatt SW Inverter will operate many AC loads within its power rating. However, some appliances and equipment may be difficult to operate. Please see “Exceptional Loads” below carefully. USB Loads A lot of USB-powered devices such as portable music (MP3) players, mobile phones, and video game players can be charged and powered safely via the standard USB port. -
