Hi this is Amy from the AltE store. I wanted to show you the Xantrex PROwatt S W pure sine
wave inverter. It's made for a 12 volt battery bank and it's available in three different
sizes. 600 watt, 1,000 watt and 2,000 watt. These systems that I'm showing you right now,
these are the North American Versions. There is also a version available for international
wih 230 volt 50 hertz. These are 120 volt 60 hertz made mostly for North America. Again
they're available in 600 watt 1,000 watt and 2,000 watts. They've got a really nice surge
capability. So if you've got a device that you're trying to power that has a motor or
a pump, or something that surges when it first turns on. These can handle 1,200 watt 2,000
watt and 3,000 watt surges. So really nice, good to be able to power your refrigerator.
So they are designed for mobile applications, they're UL458 and CSA107.1 listed. So they
are designed to be used in your RV, your van, your tiny house, boat, any sort of mobile
application. So they're really nice for that. They've got a nice digital display. It will
flash back and forth between the voltage of the battery and the watts of what it's powering.
Real nice feature that it also has is that it's got a USB port built right in for charging
your cellphone or your tablet. So anything that charges using a 5 volt USB cord you can
just plug right into the port here. That way you don't need to use your AC charger and
use up one of the outlets. Speaking of the AC outlets, it has 2 GFI protected outlets.
So you've got some protection there for your AC units. Now it does have an optional on-off
switch, that you can mount remotely. The switch if you buy that comes with a 25 foot cable.
Just phone jack connector so you would just connect it from here right over to your inverter.
Really easy to install. Now that switch has also got this wire that you can connect if
you're doing this in mobile application where you want to have it tied to the ignition switch.
You can do that so you only turn it on when the ignition is on in the car. So that is
real good in case you want to make sure you dont accidentally drain down your battery
if you don't have another charging source if your just charging it from the alternator.
It does have a two year warranty so it's a nice reliable product. They're a nice size,
they're pretty small. This is the 1,000 watt and it weighs just over 7 pounds. It's less
than a foot long, a couple inches high. It's really small the 2,000 watt one that's about
10.7 pounds so it really is very nice, small compact. So you can always find a spot to
tuck it away. And again if you want to be able to turn it on and off, it does have the
power switch right on it. So you can just turn it off locally. But if it's tucked away
in a remote location, you can just get the optional switch and just turn that off remotely.
So it is very efficient for a small inverter of this size. It's 90% efficient so you're
not going to have a tremendous amount of standby losses either. The 2,000 watt ones, when it
does not have a load on it, it'll draw less than 0.8 amps and the 1,000 watt is less than
0.6 amps. So there's pretty small standby losses. But again, if you're not using it,
you just wanna turn it off so that you're not using any power at all. So it's got a
fairly wide operating temperature range. So it will go basically from freezing to really
hot. So 32 degrees Fahrenheit, to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. That's 0 degrees to 40 degrees
Celsius. So it does operate at a pretty wide range. It does have over heat protection.
So if it does start to heat up it will actually automatically shut itself down. So that protects
the unit. It's also got low voltage shutdown. So if the battery gets down to 10.5 volts
it will shut off the inverter to protect your battery. It does have a low voltage alarm
as well. So once it gets to 11 volts it will give you an alarm and then if it continues
down it will shut itself off. It's also got over voltage protection in case you accidentally
plug it in to something that's higher than a 12 volt battery. It's got protection over
15.5 volts. It will also shut down if you overload it. So if you try to put to big of
an AC load on it, it will shut down. Doing a lot to protect itself from Oopsies. And
it does have the GFI protection on the outlet, so you've got protection in case there is
a ground fault. In case ground accidentally rubs up against something that's live. It's
pretty easy to install. It just has the DC connectors right in the back and it comes
with the bolts and everything with the nuts. So you just connect your battery cables right
here. The plus you would want to go through either a fuse or a breaker. The correct size
based on the size of the inverter. The manual will tell you what size you want for that.
So it really is just a really nice, easy inverter, that will give you nice pure Sine Wave output
for a good price. And a compact system so it's not going to take up a lot of space.
