Important Safety Instructions
1. Before installing and using the PROsine 2.0 Inverter/Charger (PROsine), read
all instructions and cautionary markings on the PROsine, the batteries, and all
appropriate sections of this Manual.
2. Do not expose the PROsine to rain, snow, spray, or bilge water. To reduce risk
of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install
the PROsine in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
3. Use only attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer. Doing
otherwise may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
4. The PROsine is designed to be permanently connected to you AC and DC
electrical systems. Xantrex recommends that all wiring be done by a certified
technician or electrician to ensure adherence to proper electrical wiring
regulations.
5. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in
good condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not operate the PROsine
with damaged or substandard wiring.
6. Do not operate the PROsine if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way. If the PROsine is damaged, see the Warranty
section.
7. Do not disassemble the PROsine. It contains no user-serviceable parts. See the
Warranty section for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service
the PROsine yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire. Internal
capacitors remain charged after all power is disconnected.
8. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power
from the PROsine before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working
on any circuits connected to the PROsine. Turning off controls will not reduce
this risk.
9. The PROsine must be provided with an equipment-grounding conductor
connected to the AC input ground terminal. Grounding and all other wiring
must comply with local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and keep this
User’s Manual for future reference.

Safety

Explosive gas precautions
1. Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal operation. Therefore, you must read this guide
and follow the instructions exactly before installing or using your PROsine.
2. This equipment contains components which 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, as well as joints, fittings, or other connections
between components of the fuel system.
3. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment
in which the battery is installed.
Precautions When Working With Batteries
1. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the
manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.
4. Use caution to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could
spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an
explosion.
5. Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with
lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short circuit current high
enough to weld metal to skin, causing a severe burn.
6. Have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
when you work near a lead-acid battery.
7. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
8. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your
eyes while working near batteries.
