14 3. Installation The ACS Panel should be installed in a location that is most convenient for you so the important display and control information is easily accessible. To connect the Control Panel 1. Decide on the location of choice for the ACS Panel. For flush mount installation onto a wall, the remote panel requires an opening with the measurements of 4 1/8 inches by 4 1/8 inches (10.5cm by 10.5cm). Ensure there is no wiring or other obstruction within the wall before making this opening as the ACS Panel requires approximately 2 inches (5cm) of free space within the wall to accommodate its depth. 2. Connect the supplied cable to the ACS panel and route the cable back through the wall opening and back to the PROsine unit. Keep the EMI bead (large yellow bulb on cable) close to the PROsine unit and don t plug the cable in with the EMI bead closer to the ACS Panel (it is far more effective close to the base chassis). Connect the cable to the REMOTE output connector jack found on the side of the PROsine itself (the panel can be connected to either output). 3. If you purchased the ACS Panel as an accessory to be used with your PROsine 2.5, the ACS Panel and standard supplied panel can both be used at the same time. Either connect the standard panel to the OUTPUT jack on the back of the ACS Panel, or connect the standard panel to the REMOTE output connector jack on the side of the PROsine Inverter Charger. The standard panel can then be mounted close by the PROsine unit for system monitoring in that location and the ACS Panel can be mounted remotely in some other area where you want the more detailed operating information and control capability.

I have an aversion to paying retail - especially for iron-free tempered glass. I also have a greater aversion to cutting apart finished panels to mend a failed wafer. Using seconds in something meant to last 50 years didn"t sink in until after I dragged them home so I am leaning toward 6-Volt panels in a module system to keep an overhaul scheme viable - and that would mean 200+ pieces of tempered glass and the EVA sheet to seal them and the racks to mount the glass sheets in. Luckily the price structure is by square feet instead of pieces on glass, I have not seriously approached any glass suppliers but the water-white tempered glass is key for these to have highest output.

Theres a wide variety of inverters on the market. Here, we look at some of the higher-output models-from 1,000 to 2,500 watts-that can be used to power major appliances.

True sine wave versions are generally 5% to 10% percent less efficient than modified sine wave models, and most have a substantially higher standby current while idle, which can be particularly important on smaller boats with limited 12-volt reserves (unless you can remember to shut it off when not in use). The biggest advantage to line-frequency models is the built-in high-capacity battery charger, worth at least $300 if purchased separately, and found in most models. The PROsine we tested is an exception because it is a high-frequency model with a sophisticated four-stage charger.

Trace has a similar remote controller unit called the RC-5 ($200 discount). The difference is that the inverter essentially has all the adjustments built into the basic unit and the RC-5 is an extension of that capability to a remote LCD, two-line display that adds a few extra adjustments. The RC-5 is much easier to install, requiring only the connection of a phone-type cable to the inverter.

We saved the best for last. This unit is nothing less than phenomenal. The exterior case is all aluminum, with all mounting hardware made of stainless steel. The powder-coated side panels are 1/8″ thick aluminum for extreme ruggedness. While the price sounds high at first, looking at what you get actually makes it an outstanding value. Included is an external remote controller that is worth $200 to $300 dollars. This unit looks like Statpower took a clean sheet of paper and decided to include every good feature from of all of the other inverters.

We were most impressed by the state-of-the-art PROsine inverter from Statpower, and highly recommend it as the best, most complete true sine wave version we have seen. A modified sine wave model of equal power with all the options (if you could find one) would be nearly as expensive. Put PROsine on your short list.

Offering superior quality ture sine wave output, the PROsineTM 1000and 1800 stand-alone inverters are ideally suited for electrical systems that already have a quality multistage battery charger. Designed for recrestional and industrial applications, their 120-volt/230-volt, 60HZ/50HZ AC power output is capable of handing both heavy duty and smaller, multiple AC loads. PROsine inverters include a backlit LCD display panel, which can be mounted remotely.

With less than 3% total harmonic distortion, PROsine 1000 and 1800 inverters deliver true sine wave output that is identical to AC power supplied by your utility. This clean output makes PROsine inverters ideal for handing sensitive loads and improves AC equipment performance. Expect trouble-free true sine wave electricity for televisions, audio systems, variable speed tools, and more.

PROsine inverters are lighter and more compact than other inverters with similar power ratings because they use high-frequency switching technology in the power conversion process.
