you have problems starting certain loads, ensure that the battery connections are
solid, the DC cabling is short and of sufficient size, the AC wiring is of sufficient
size, and the battery is of sufficient capacity and is fully charged.

As with all inverters, the amount of continuous power that the PROsine can
deliver without overheating is limited by the ambient air temperature. It will
operate and deliver its continuous power rating at higher temperatures, but the
ambient temperature as well as the input voltage from the battery limits the extent
to which it can do this. Operating the PROsine in conditions outside the power
and temperature limits will result in thermal shutdown and/or significantly
decreased performance. In addition, operation in this range is outside the ratings
covered by the regulatory approvals of the product. (See page A–6.)

Input Voltage

The input voltage limits are shown in Table 5-1

Operating Condition

Voltage
Range

Comment

Normal

10V–16V

Peak Performance

12V–16V

High Voltage Alarm

≥15.5V

Unit Shuts Down

≥16V

Protects inverter against excessive input voltage.

Low Voltage Alarm

≤10.5V

Unit Shuts Down

≤10.0V

Protects battery from being over-discharged.

Unit Restarts

≥12.5V

The PROsine will not restart unless input voltage exceeds 12.5V or the
inverter is turned ON manually with the DISABLE/ENABLE switch. If
the inverter is already enabled (STANDBY LED is on), move the switch to
DISABLE to turn the inverter OFF, and then move it to ENABLE again to
restart the inverter (as long as the battery voltage is between 10–16 volts).
