Choosing a Location
The PROwatt 600 Inverter should only be installed in a
location that meets these requirements:
WARNING
The PROwatt 600 contains components that tend to
produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion,
do not install the PROwatt in compartments
containing batteries or flammable materials or in
locations that require ignition-protected equipment.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the
ventilation openings. Do not install the PROwatt 600
in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may
result.
Dry Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or splash
on the PROwatt 600.
Cool Ambient air temperature should be between 32º F
and 105º F (0º C and 40º C)—the cooler the better
within this range.
Ventilated Leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) clearance around the
PROwatt 600 for air flow. Ensure that ventilation
openings at the front and rear are not obstructed.
Safe Do not install the inverter in the same compartment
as batteries or in any compartment capable of storing
flammable liquids like gasoline.
Close to
battery DC cables must be shorter than 4 feet (1.2 m) each.
Longer AC wires are preferable to longer DC wires.
Protected
from battery
gases Do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to
battery gases. These are very corrosive, and
prolonged exposure will damage the inverter.
