Introduction
Thank you from all of us at ProMariner. Congratulations on your recent purchase of a TruePower Combi Charger/Inverter!
Important Notice – Please read and understand this manual before installing your TruePower Combi Charger/Inverter.
This manual is written to assist in the installation of your new TruePower Combi Charger/Inverter; however, since this is a permanent AC and DC hardwired installation, ProMariner strongly recommends that a Certified Marine Electrical Technician® trained by the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) perform the installation. The TruePower Combi unit you have purchased is constructed to the safety standards of the ABYC to prevent fire and electrocution; the installation must conform to these same industry standards. For more information on ABYC, their Standards and Technical Information reports for Small Craft, and to find a certified technician near you, visit www.abycinc.org.
To Preclude a Safety Hazard, all existing AC and DC electrical components (e.g. wire, fuses, circuit breakers, battery switches, connections) must be inspected for proper condition prior to installation. Failure to confirm adequate condition and proper installation to ABYC Standard E-11 AC & DC Electrical Systems on board boats may result in a dangerous condition and/or premature failure of this or other installed electrical components. Any and all areas of the existing system that are found not in compliance with ABYC E-11 must be replaced prior to installation.

Warnings
Important Notice: FCC Class A Notification & International Standards Compliance
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
If in a residential setting you are encountering interference with TV and Radio reception while NOT in inverter mode, then: simply disconnect AC power from the TruePower Combi Charger/Inverter to confirm if this unit is causing the interference, if so explore the following options to minimize interference:
1)Make sure your AC connections include a proper Ground connection
2)Reposition your receiving antenna
3)Purchase a separate AC line filter
4)Relocate the affected appliance so it is further separated from the TruePower Combi Charger/Inverter

!Do not expose this unit to rain or snow
!Use of attachments not recommended or sold by Professional Mariner, LLC will void warranty and may result in the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury.
!Do not operate the unit if it has been dropped or visibly damaged in any way
!Do not disassemble the unit. If service or repair is required please contact ProMariner customer service at 1-800-824-0524
!To reduce the risk of electrical shock, remove connection to AC shorepower and DC connections prior to maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls WILL NOT reduce this risk.
WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASSES
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
!To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery(s). Carefully review the cautionary markings on this equipment.

Personal Safety Precautions
!HELP - Someone should be within the range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when working with a lead-acid battery.
!CONTACT - Have plenty of soap and water nearby in case battery acid comes in contact with skin, clothes, or eyes. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical attention immediately.
!WEAR - Complete eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery(s).
!NEVER - Smoke or allow a spark or flame within the vicinity of the battery work area.
!SPARK - Be very cautious about dropping metal objects such as screwdrivers and wrenches onto a battery. This could short-circuit the battery and immediately cause a spark that may result in a fire or explosion.
!REMOVE - All personal metal items such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc. when working near a battery. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or any other metal causing serious burns.
!DRY CELL BATTERIES - Never use the battery charger feature to charge dry cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances i.e. a cordless power drill battery. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage property.
!FROZEN BATTERY - Never charge a frozen battery.

Overview
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Thoroughly inspect your TruePower Combi unit. Take care in moving the unit as it weighs approximately 42 lbs.
The package should contain the following:
1)TruePower Combi unit
2)Parts package including:
a. +(Red) & -(Black) DC terminal covers and 8 (4 per cover) machine screws. b. AC Terminal Cover and 2 strain relief connectors plus 2 screws
c. Remote package including panel, cable and mounting screws (if so equipped) d. Owners/Installation manual
DAMAGE - If any parts are missing or damaged, or the unit has been damaged in shipping contact ProMariner customer service at 1-800-824-0524, do not take back to place of purchase.
DO NOT attempt to install or operate the unit if it has been damaged in any way.
Features
SMART TECHNOLOGY - Your new ProMariner TruePower Combi unit is current limiting with built in “smart” features to monitor vital functions and preclude damage to the charger and the installed system. The unit incorporates alarms, indicators and an auto shut-down feature for peace of mind and trouble free operation. This section contains descriptions of the LED indications and functions of controls. A more detailed description of LED and audible warning signals can be found in the Troubleshooting section. Turning the unit OFF and ON again will restart the unit after a fault, however, if the fault is still present, the unit will again shut down.
INVERTER – The TruePower Combi serves as a Pure Sine wave or a Quasi (modified) Sine wave inverter, converting DC power to clean, reliable AC power.
NOTE: This unit requires a large amperage draw from a DC battery when in Inverter mode. Care must be taken during installation to provide properly sized cables from the battery to the inverter. Cable runs must be as short as possible and of the appropriate size and type. See the Installation section for more details.
CHARGER – The TruePower Combi also serves as a high efficiency automatic battery charger suitable for all commonly available battery types (See Section 3 on the Features Table) .
TRANFER SWITCH – The TruePower Combi includes an internal, automatic 30 amp AC Transfer switch that senses the presence of AC shore/station power. Upon connection to a shore power/shore station source, the Combi will switch from INVERTER mode (providing AC power via DC battery source) to CHARGE mode, automatically. This switch, in compliance with ABYC E-11, disconnects the neutral AC lead from the AC ground when in shore/station power mode.

3. Auto Cooling Fan
Your TruePower Combi Includes a Cooling Fan that is operational in both Invert and Charge mode. The fan keeps the TruePower Combi at an acceptable temperature. The fan operation is dependant upon unit temperature, charge current, and inverter load. There is no user requirements for proper fan operation, fan cycling is part of the units normal operation.
4. DC Grounding Conductor (Earth)
An Additional corrosion resistant metal stud is provided for a connection to the installed DC Negative Bus, or Engine Negative Terminal. This is in compliance with ABYC A-31, the conductor used is allowed to be 1 size smaller than the positive conductor used. (See Installation for more details). This is an essential safety connection, do not attempt operation without this conductor properly installed.
5. Audible Warning
As well as LED indications, the TruePower Combi includes and audible warning that accompanies the fault modes indicated in the LED status panel. For a detailed description of audible tones and duration see the Troubleshooting section
