AC Wiring Procedure

To make a permanent connection to existing AC wiring:
1. Make sure no DC voltage is being supplied to the inverter, and make
2. Remove the bottom plate from the inverter. This gives you access to the
3. Remove the knockout on the DC end of the inverter.
4. Feed 3-conductor 14 AWG AC cable through the hole.
5. Insert a cable clamp for electrical junction boxes to hold the cable in
6. Connect the ground lead of the AC cable (green or bare wire) to the

CAUTION: Reverse Polarity
Improper connections (connecting a line conductor to a
neutral conductor, for example) will cause the PROwatt 1000
to malfunction and may permanently damage the inverter.
Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not
covered by your warranty.
Ensure that you have maintained correct polarity and that there are no
loose strands of wire.
