PRO-WAVE INVERTER 12 VOLT, PURE SINE WAVE P/No.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Please read this manual thoroughly before use and store in a safe place for future reference. WARNINGS • • • • • • For indoor use out of weather only. For use with negatively earthed vehicles & systems only. Internally bonded for safety, battery DC negative to case & AC socket earth. Hazardous voltage inside – do not attempt to open, repair or use if damaged. Only connect 230/240V AC appliances that are in safe condition.
FULLY ISOLATED DESIGN Safety is paramount around 240V and in particular with inverters which is why Projecta fully electrically isolates the DC (and therefore battery posts, vehicle chassis, etc) from the 240V AC circuit. DESIGNED TO AS4763 Designed in accordance with Australian Standard AS4763: 2011 – Safety of Portable Inverters. REMOTE CONTROL DISPLAY (PW600, PW900 & PW1800) The PW600, PW900 and PW1800 can connect to an optional remote (P/No.

CONNECTING THE INVERTER PW150 The PW150 is fitted with a lead and cigarette plug. Insert the plug into the vehicle’s 12V accessory socket and turn the inverter on. You may need to turn the vehicle’s ignition to ‘accessory’ to supply power to the inverter. PW350, PW600, PW900 & PW1800 It is important to use suitable cable lengths and sizes to get the most out of your inverter.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS To operate the inverter turn the inverter On/Off switch to ON (PW150 & PW350) or press the power button (PW600, PW900 & PW1800). The inverter will beep momentarily while it carries out a brief self-analysis before supplying power to the AC socket (only on PW150 & PW350). To turn off, turn the inverter On/Off switch to OFF (PW150 & PW350) or press the power button again (PW600, PW900 and PW1800). To help prevent the inverter being overloaded: 1.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INVERTER A) PW150 & PW350 These inverters are equipped with two status L.E.D’s and audible alarm. During normal operation, the green L.E.D will illuminate solid green. In the event of a fault or error, the alarm will sound and the red L.E.D will illuminate. STATUS L.E.
Input Voltage The input voltage limits are shown in the following table. Operating condition Voltage range Comments Normal 11.0V – 14.0V – Peak performance 13.0V – 14.0V – Low voltage alarm 10.5±0.3V The audible low battery alarm sounds. Low voltage shutdown 10.0±0.3V The unit shuts down to protect the battery from being over-discharged. High voltage shutdown Voltage is 15.5V or more The unit shuts down to protect itself from excessive input voltage.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR POWER REQUIREMENTS POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR APPLIANCE/S: All appliances have a rating plate that shows the amount of power (Watts) used or the current (Amps) drawn under normal use. The following table shows the maximum combined AC Watts or AC Amps which can be run by the inverter. P/No. PW150 PW350 PW600 PW900 PW1800 AC Combined maximum load (Watts) 150W 350W 600W 900W 1800W AC Combined maximum load (Amps) 0.6A 1.4A 2.4A 3.6A 7.
TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQ: Q. Why does the inverter turn itself off? A. If the inverter’s audible alarm sounds and a fault L.E.D illuminates, this indicates that there is a fault or error, and the inverter may turn off. Most commonly this would be caused by an appliance that is drawing too much power (overloading), low battery voltage or voltage drop due to insufficient size cables or poor connections (refer to 'Understanding your Inverter' tables, page 7). Q.
Q. How do I check or change the fuses? Pro-Wave inverters contain internal fuses and should only be checked or replaced by a qualified electrical appliance repairer. THE DC SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED BEFORE ANY REPAIR, THEN TURN THE ON/OFF SWITCH OF THE INVERTER “ON” TO DISCHARGE THE CAPACITORS. Q. Why does the fan only operate sometimes? A. Pro-Wave inverters feature a temperature controlled automatic cooling fan that only operates when needed.
