Xantrex Technology PROwatt 600 User Manual

Choosing a Location

8

The PROwatt 600 Inverter should only be installed in a 
location that meets these requirements:

The PROwatt 600 contains components that tend to 
produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, 
do not install the PROwatt in compartments 
containing batteries or flammable materials or in 
locations that require ignition-protected equipment.

To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the 
ventilation openings. Do not install the PROwatt 600 
in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may 
result.

Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or splash 
on the PROwatt 600.

Ambient air temperature should be between 32º F 
and 105º F (0º C and 40º C)—the cooler the better 
within this range.

Leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) clearance around the 
PROwatt 600 for air flow. Ensure that ventilation 
openings at the front and rear are not obstructed.

Do not install the inverter in the same compartment 
as batteries or in any compartment capable of storing 
flammable liquids like gasoline.

DC cables must be shorter than 4 feet (1.2 m) each. 
Longer AC wires are preferable to longer DC wires.

Do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to 
battery gases. These are very corrosive, and 
prolonged exposure will damage the inverter.
