• Adjustable wrench for fastening DC terminal bolts, • Two battery cables (copper, appropriately sized according to application) with connectors already crimped by the company or store where you purchased the cables, • Ground cable (copper, appropriately sized) for attaching to the ground chassis, • DC-rated fuses (and fuse holders), • Screwdriver (flathead and Philips), power screwdriver, or power drill for use in mounting the inverter, • Mounting screws (4) size #10. Basic Installation Steps 1. Determine battery capacity. 2. Determine a charging system. 3. Choose a location. 4. Mount the inverter. 5. Connect the chassis ground. 6. Connect the battery cables. Xantrex PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter Owner’s Guide Installation 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. Xantrex recommends that you purchase as much battery capacity as possible. CAUTION: Risk of inverter damage. The PROwatt SW Inverter must only be connected to a battery that has a nominal output of 12 volts. The PROwatt SW Inverter will: • Not operate if connected to a 6 volt battery and • Be damaged if connected to a 24 volt battery. Determine A Charging System The charging system must be appropriate for your particular installation. A well-designed charging system will ensure that power is available when you need it and that your batteries remain in top condition. Inadequate charging will degrade system performance and the wrong type of charger will reduce battery life. For a list of Xantrex Battery Chargers, go to or contact Customer Service (see “Contact Information” on page i of this guide). Choose A Location CAUTION: Risk of inverter damage. The PROwatt SW Inverter contains components that tend to produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install the inverter in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in locations that require ignition-protected equipment. WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Do not install the PROwatt SW Inverter in a wet environment or in any other environment where moisture can occur and enter the inverter enclosure through the ventilation openings. This unit is not intended for marine applications. WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the PROwatt SW Inverter in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result. 8 Xantrex PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter Owner’s Guide Installation Mount The Inverter 1. Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation. The unit can be oriented in any way, such as: • Horizontally on a vertical surface or • On or under a horizontal surface. 2. Hold the inverter against the mounting surface and mark the positions using the mounting flanges as guide. 3. Pilot-drill the four mounting holes. 4. Fasten the inverter to the mounting surface using corrosionresistant hardware sized #10. Dry Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or splash on the inverter. Cool Ambient air temperature should be between 32 .F and 104 . F (0 .C and 40 . C)—the cooler the better within this range. Ventilated Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance around the inverter for air flow. Ensure that ventilation openings on the DC end and the bottom of the unit 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 Do not use excessive DC cable lengths: they increase wire resistance and reduce input power. Protected from battery gases Do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to gases produced by the batteries. These gases are very corrosive and prolonged exposure will damage the inverter. DC connections should NOT point up or down. REMOTE POWER FAULT REMOTE POWER FAULT Installation 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)” on page 5. Follow the guidelines below to connect the inverter’s chassis to the ground. Grounding Locations The chassis ground terminal must be connected to a grounding point. The grounding point varies depending on where you install the PROwatt SW Inverter. Follow the guidelines that correspond to your type of installation. Recreational Connect the CHASSIS GND screw to the Vehicle vehicle’s chassis using a minimum 8 AWG copper wirea (preferably with green/yellow insulation). Fixed Location Connect the CHASSIS GND screw to your system...
