Step 2: Choosing a Location for the PROsine
The PROsine should only be installed in locations that meet the following
requirements:
p
Dry. Do not allow water or other fluids to drip or splash on the PROsine. Do
not mount the PROsine in an area subject to splashing water or bilge
water.
p
Cool. Normal air temperature should be between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and
40°C)—the cooler the better.
p
Ventilated. Allow at least 5 in. (13cm) of clearance at the DC end of the
PROsine for air flow, 1 in. (2.5cm) on each side, and 2 in. (5cm) at the AC
end. For cooling, the volume of the enclosure is not as important as the overall
supply of air. The more clearance for ventilation around the unit, the better the
performance. Do not allow the ventilation openings on the ends of the unit to
become obstructed.
p
Safe. Do not install the PROsine in the same compartment as batteries or in
any compartment capable of storing flammable liquids like gasoline.
p
Close to the battery compartment and the AC source and load panels.
Avoid excessive cable lengths (which reduce input and output power due to
wire resistance). Use the recommended cable lengths and sizes.
p
Protected from battery acid and gases. Never allow battery acid to drip on
the PROsine or its wiring when reading specific gravity or filling the battery.
Also do not mount the unit where it will be exposed to gases produced by the
batteries. These gases are very corrosive, and prolonged exposure will
damage the PROsine.
WARNING: Fire and explosion hazard
This equipment contains components that tend to produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or
explosion, do not install the PROsine 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, or joints, fittings, or other
connections between components of the fuel system.
WARNING: Fire hazard
To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install
the PROsine in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
