INVINCIBLE OPERATION
The most outstanding feature of the PROsine inverter line is their completely transparent operation. PROsine users will find no difference between the power supplied by the inverter and that supplied by the local utility company. All connected AC loads and equipment will operate the same as they would from utility supplied power. Simply put, PROsine delivers a TRUE SINE WAVE output, in many cases even better than utility supplied power.

WHY TRUE SINEWAVE?
Because all electronic equipment is designed to operate from this waveform. PROsine allows any load, within the power rating of the inverter, to operate exactly to specification. Heavy-duty motor loads start quicker and run cooler from a PROsine inverter than when operating from square wave or modified sine wave inverters. To the user, this results in better equipment operation and longer equipment life. But true sine wave is just the beginning of the host of features these new products offer.

REMOVABLE LCD PANEL
The digital LCD panel provides inverter operating status and control where you need it. DC input voltage and current are displayed numerically and a power scale displays inverter output in watts. The panel can be rotated in 90 degree increments, depending on inverter installation. Or, mount the display in the location of your choice with the optional PROsine Interface Panel. This takes the place of the LCD panel on the inverter, and provides both on/bypass control and important noise suppression. The telephone cable extension plugs into the Interface Panel and can be routed to the remotely located LCD panel.

EFFICIENCY CURVES
The efficiency of an inverter measures what percentage of DC power is inverted to usable AC power. The higher the rating, the less power is lost in the way of heat from the inverting process. PROsine offers a flat efficiency curve over much of its operating range so you, as the user, get the most out of your batteries (PROsine 1800i efficiency curve shown).

DC CONNECTION TERMINALS
These terminals have been uniquely designed to accept battery cables in 180 degrees of rotation. This novel approach makes it easier to wire up the PROsine in tightly constrained areas and lets the wires exit from the inverter in the most convenient fashion, depending on the installation location.

POWER SAVE MODE
When the inverter is in this "sleep" mode, much of the power control circuitry is shut down, as is the LCD display back-lighting, which reduces standby current draw considerably. While in POWERSAVE mode, the Inverter draws approximately 1.5 watts while powered up, but with no load on the inverter. Load presence is detected by sending pulses once every 2.5 seconds, and full output power is available with the detection of a load. POWERSAVE mode is factory set to "OFF", and can be conveniently toggled to ON or OFF by turning the inverter quickly OFF and then ON again while the POWERSAVE screen is displayed in the LCD.

AC OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS
The standard PROsine model comes with a duplex GFCI outlet with 15A breaker or an international 230V outlet. The unit can be configured as a "Hardwire" version with Line, Neutral, and Ground terminals to route the AC output to your own outlets. Or, the PROsine unit can be configured as a "Hardwire/ Transfer Relay" version with terminals for both input and output AC and built-in transfer relay. Configured as such, the unit can act as an automatic back-up power system, quickly transferring to inverter power delivery in the event of failed or lost AC input power.

WATTS PER POUND
Power conversion within the inverter is done at a high frequency, which significantly lowers the size and weight of transformers used in the power conversion process. This is a proven technology used in computer power supplies and results in exceptional watts per pound ratios. The higher the ratio is, the more power you will get per inverter pound.

ADVANCED THERMAL DESIGN
Internal heatsinks and optimum component layout go a long way towards keeping the inverter cool as load requirements increase. Coupled to this is an internal "funnel" layout that improves airflow through and over critical components that can be subject to elevated temperatures. This allows the inverter to run longer in environments with high ambient temperatures.

IGBT TECHNOLOGY
With advancements in components come advancements in inverter performance. New IGBT (isolated gate bipolar transistor) components are used in place of power MOSFETs and offer higher power switching capability at higher operating voltages. Translation - better performance and efficiency with reduced cost and complexity.
