Hi Boaty,
Nice install! WOW, thats a lot of battery in a TC. It's great that your cables from battery to inverter are so short.
I regularly use my ProSine to run the A/C or microwave and it has never skipped a beat doing that job. I have had some issues with the circuit boards (especially the comm' board) staying firmly seated in their sockets on the main-board… a simple to fix if you ever encounter this.
A couple of thoughts;
- I notice that you don't have the battery temp-sensor connected. I strongly suggest that you add it when you have a chance.
- Given your intended high-current charge/discharge use, I suggest that you consider using a balanced wiring scheme. It's a simple & cheap way to ensure good performance and long service life from your expensive battery bank.
- As long as there is some ventilation, I suspect that you'll be okay with the inverter in the same compartment as the AGM batteries… But as others have mentioned, this is certainly not the preferred set-up. Any chance you can create a partition between the batteries & inverter?
- Since it is mounted in an external compartment, you might consider adding a remote on/off switch for the inverter. There are instructions how to do this on page 3-25 of the ProSine owner's manual.
- There is a known issue with the ProSine 2.0's transfer switch welding closed. As an added insurance measure I have added Edison plugs to the AC in and out so that the unit can be easily bypassed if this ever occurs… something to think about.
The ProSine has an integrated cooling fan that will cycle on/off as needed. I wouldn't be too concerned about cooling. Also the unit will shut-down (and sound an alarm & tell you why on the remote) if it overheats. Inn addition, the internal temperature of the ProSine can be monitored from the control panel. Mine is in a confined (internal) compartment with only limited ventilation and it has never overheated.
Cheers,

The only thing that catches my eye and you may have all of that covered but it looks like you may need some positive (forced) air flow around the PROSINE unit.
