Input Voltage The input voltage limits are shown in the following table. Peak Performance 13–14.5 V n/a Low Voltage Alarm Voltage is The audible low battery 11.0 V or less alarm sounds. Operating Condition Voltage Range Comment Low Voltage Voltage is The unit shuts down to Shutdown 10.5 V or less. protect the battery from being over-discharged. High Voltage Shutdown Voltage is 15.5 V or more. The unit shuts down to protect itself from excessive input voltage. Note: Although the PROwatt SW Inverter incorporates over- voltage protection, it can still be damaged if input voltage exceeds 16 V. Unit restarts after 11.5 V The unit will not restart low voltage unless the battery shutdown voltage is acceptable for running the load. Operating Condition Voltage Range Comment Normal 10.5–15.5 V n/a Operation Inverter Loads The PROwatt SW Inverter will operate many AC loads within its power rating. However, some appliances and equipment may be difficult to operate. Please see “Exceptional Loads” below carefully. USB Loads A lot of USB-powered devices such as portable music (MP3) players, mobile phones, and video game players can be charged and powered safely via the standard USB port. However, some devices such as portable GPS receivers and certain cameras may not work and even cause damage even if you use the USB cable that came with the product. Be sure that the device only accepts 5 volts and can be charged or powered using other sources of power. See the device’s owner’s guide under specifications for information. Exceptional Loads Some induction motors used in freezers, pumps, and other motor- operated equipment need high surge currents to start. The PROwatt SW Inverter may not be able to start some of these motors even though their rated current draw is within the inverter’s limits. If a motor refuses to start, observe the VOLTS indicator while you are trying to start the motor. If the indicator drops below 11 volts while the PROwatt SW Inverter is trying to start the motor, this may explain why the motor won’t start. Make sure the length and diameter of the battery cables are appropriate. Check that the battery connections are good and that the battery is fully charged. If the cables are sized correctly, the connections are good, and the battery is charged, but the voltage still drops below 11 volts, you may need to use a larger battery. Battery Charging Frequency When possible, recharge your batteries when they are about 50% discharged or earlier. This gives them a much longer life cycle than recharging when they are almost completely discharged. For information about battery chargers, see our web site at Maintenance Routine maintenance is required to keep your PROwatt SW Inverter operating properly. Periodically you should: • Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt. • Tighten the screws on the DC input terminals. Xantrex PROwatt™ SW Sine Wave Inverter Owner’s Guide Troubleshooting Troubleshooting WARNING: Electrical shock and burn hazard. Do not dismantle the PROwatt SW Inverter. It does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Attempting to service the unit yourself could result in an electrical shock or burn. Condition Possible Cause Solution E 0 3 Overload shutdown Reduce the load within the inverter’s continuous power rating. E 0 4 Heavy load is connected then AC output becomes unavailable. Over temperature shutdown Allow the inverter to cool off and reduce the load if continuous operation is required. E 0 4 Normal load is connected then AC output becomes unavailable. Over temperature shutdown Improve ventilation and make sure the inverter’s ventilation openings are not obstructed. Reduce the ambient temperature, if possible. Troubleshooting Reference Condition Possible Cause Solution E 0 1 Under Voltage (low input) shutdown Recharge the battery. Check cables and connection if secure. E 0 1 with persistent low battery alarm. Poor DC wiring and/or poor battery condition Use proper cable and make secure connections. Charge the battery or install a new battery. E 0 2 Over Voltage (high input) shutdown Make sure the inverter is connected to a 12 V battery. Troubleshooting Condition Possible Cause Solution E 1 0 No output voltage. Short circuit Check the AC wiring for a short circuit. Very heavy load Remove the load. Output circuit overheat Turn the unit off. Let the unit cool down, check the fan for any obstructions and clear it, or reduce the load. Turn the unit back on. Condition Possible Cause Solution No output voltage; The unit is off. Turn the inverter on. no voltage No power to the Check wiring to the indication. inverter. Inverter fuse open. Reverse DC polarity. invert...
