Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT: READ AND SAVE THIS OWNER’S GUIDE FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
This chapter contains important safety instructions for the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter.
Before using the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter, READ ALL instructions and cautionary markings on or provided with the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter, the batteries, and all appropriate sections of this guide.
WARNING: Shock, fire, and heat hazard. Risk of injury to persons.
3.Do not operate the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. If the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter is damaged, see the Warranty section.
4.Do not disassemble the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter. It contains no user-serviceable parts. See Warranty for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged after all power is disconnected.
5.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect DC power from the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
1.Do not expose the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter to rain, snow, spray, or bilge water. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Overheating may result.
2.To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that wiring is in good condition, adequately rated, and not undersized. Do not operate the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.
Precautions When Working With Batteries
WARNING: Explosion or fire hazard.
1.Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed to reduce the risk of battery explosion.
975-0529-01-01 |
iii |
2.Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. Therefore, you must read this guide and follow the instructions exactly before installing or using your PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter.
3.This equipment contains components which tend to produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not operate the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials, or in locations that require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, as well as joints, fittings, or other connections between components of the fuel system.
4.Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
5.Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.
6.Use caution to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
7.If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause a spark.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury due to burns or battery acid.
8.Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short circuit current high enough to weld metal to skin, causing a severe burn.
9.Have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
10.Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
11.Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while working near batteries.
12.If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter. The PROwatt SW Inverter is a high quality, true sine wave output inverter. It is designed to operate AC loads as if these loads were operating from grid/utility supplied power in household AC outlets.
To get the most out of your PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter, carefully read and follow the instructions in this guide.
PROwatt SW Inverter Series
There are three PROwatt SW Inverter models in the series namely:
•PROwatt SW 600,
•PROwatt SW 1000, and
•PROwatt SW 2000.
This Guide contains information about all three models. Unless specified by the model name, all features, functions, and instructions will pertain to all models. All the models of the inverter will be referred to collectively as PROwatt SW Inverter.

Introduction
Ease of Use
Superior features and rugged durability have been combined with ease of use:
•The unit is compact, light weight, and easy to install.
•You can power loads directly from the dual GFCI-protected AC receptacles on the front panel.
•Easy-to-read digital display on the front panel lets you monitor system performance at a glance.
•The optional PROwatt Remote Panel lets you control the inverter from a convenient location—up to 25 feet (7.6 m) away—while the inverter itself is mounted out of sight and close to the batteries.
•A convenient USB port powers most modern electronic products.
Comprehensive Protection
The PROwatt SW Inverter is equipped with the following protection features:
GFCI protection |
De-energizes the AC circuits and thereby |
|
protects the user from electric shock if a ground |
|
fault occurs. |
|
|
Low battery voltage |
Alerts you if the battery has become discharged |
alarm |
to 11 V or lower. |
|
|
Low battery voltage |
Automatically shuts the inverter down if the |
shutdown |
battery voltage drops below 10.5 V. This feature |
|
protects the battery from being completely |
|
discharged. Within five minutes after |
|
shutdown, the unit recovers automatically once |
|
the battery voltage reaches above 11.5 Vdc. |
|
After five minutes, the unit turns itself off. |
|
|
High battery voltage |
Shuts the inverter down automatically if the |
shutdown |
input voltage rises to more than 15.5 V. Within |
|
five minutes after shutdown, the unit recovers |
|
automatically once the battery voltage falls |
|
below 15.5 Vdc. After five minutes, the unit |
|
turns itself off. |
|
|
AC output overload |
Shuts the unit down automatically if a short |
shutdown |
circuit occurs or if the loads attached to the |
|
inverter exceed the operating limits. |
|
|
Over temperature |
Turns the inverter off if its temperature rises |
shutdown |
above an acceptable level. Within five minutes |
|
after shutdown, the unit recovers automatically |
|
once the temperature of the unit cools down. |
|
After five minutes of operating in high |
|
temperature, the unit turns itself off. |
