PROsine Inverter Owners Manual
1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of this PROsine Inverter.
As a high quality, true sine wave output inverter, you
can expect the PROsine to deliver exceptional
performance and give you years of dependable operation.
The true sine wave AC output from the PROsine Inverter
ensures all AC loads operating from the unit perform
efficiently and correctly. Since these loads were designed
to operate from true sine wave voltage, you can expect
these loads to operate the same as if operating from grid/
utility supplied power. In some cases, the true sine wave
output from the PROsine Inverter is even superior to
the power supplied by your utility company.
To get the most out of your PROsine Inverter, carefully
read and follow the instructions in this guide. Pay special
attention to the Important Safety Instructions and to the
CAUTION and WARNING statements found
throughout the manual and on the product. Please retain
all packaging.
Should you have any questions before, during, or after
installation, please call Statpowers Customer Service
Department for help.

1.1 PROsine Inverter Key Features
The PROsine Inverter utilizes advanced high frequency
switching technology in the power conversion process.
The circuits are similar to those used in power supplies
for computers and other electronic equipment. This
technology offers several benefits:
· Light weight: for easy installation
· Totally silent: for quiet operation
· High surge capability: for hard-to-start AC loads
See Section 10 (Specifications) for complete product
specifications.
1.1.1 Inverter Function
When connected properly and the power switch is turned
to the (I) position, the PROsine Inverter draws power
from a battery and delivers a true sine wave AC output
voltage that is similar to the voltage supplied by your
local utility. As long as the battery voltage is within the
operating range of the unit, the PROsine will continue
to deliver AC power to the loads connected. High and
low battery shutdowns will engage if the battery voltage
falls out of the specified range of operation (10-16VDC
on 12V models, 20-32VDC on 24V models).
1.1.2 Control Panel
The Control Panel provides control and displays
operating information so you can monitor the status of
the Inverter and your batteries.
This panel can be removed and re-attached in different
orientations so the information is directed at you in the
most convenient fashion, for all recommended mounting
configurations. With the optional PROsine Interface
Panel, the display can be fully removed from the base
chassis and remotely located in the place of your choice
(e.g. on the dash of your vehicle).
1.1.3 Automatic Transfer Switch
Your PROsine Inverter may be equipped with a transfer
relay if specified prior to purchase. The transfer relay
serves two purposes: 1) allows the AC output of the
PROsine Inverter to be wired into an existing AC system
as a source of power and 2) allows the PROsine Inverter
to automatically become the source of power should your
utility source fail.
When utility AC power fails, the transfer relay is de-
energized and the load is automatically transferred to
the PROsine inverter output within 20-30 milliseconds.
With the POWERSAVE feature enabled (recommended
for reducing standby power consumption), AC output
from the inverter may be delayed for up to 2½ seconds.
Once AC utility is restored, the relay energizes and the
load is automatically reconnected to AC utility.
2. Installation
This section contains instructions for installing the
PROsine Inverter. After securing the unit and making
wiring connections, do not turn the unit on. Proceed to
the next section of the manual which provides operating
instructions.
Please record the following information if you need
to contact Statpower for servicing of the unit.

WARNING
Review the Important Safety Instructions
found at the beginning of this manual and
read this entire section, paying particular
attention to the CAUTION and WARNING
statements, before proceeding with the
installation.
WARNING
Note that in (k) (Bypass) position the front
panel switch does NOT turn off all voltages
inside the unit. This control only deacti-
vates the AC conversion circuitry. On AC
hardwire/transfer relay versions any utility
voltage present on the AC input terminals
will be present on the AC output termi-
nals.
