Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and keep this

User’s Manual for future reference.

WARNING:Limitations on use

The PROsine 2.0 Inverter/Charger is not intended for use in connection with life support systems or other medical equipment or devices.

1.Before installing and using the PROsine 2.0 Inverter/Charger (PROsine), read all instructions and cautionary markings on the PROsine, the batteries, and all appropriate sections of this Manual.

2.Do not expose the PROsine to rain, snow, spray, or bilge water. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the PROsine in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.

3.Use only attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer. Doing otherwise may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

4.The PROsine is designed to be permanently connected to you AC and DC electrical systems. Xantrex recommends that all wiring be done by a certified technician or electrician to ensure adherence to proper electrical wiring regulations.

5.To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not operate the PROsine with damaged or substandard wiring.

6.Do not operate the PROsine if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. If the PROsine is damaged, see the Warranty section.

7.Do not disassemble the PROsine. It contains no user-serviceable parts. See the Warranty section for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the PROsine yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged after all power is disconnected.

8.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the PROsine before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the PROsine. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.

9.The PROsine must be provided with an equipment-grounding conductor connected to the AC input ground terminal. Grounding and all other wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances.

Safety

Explosive gas precautions

WARNING: Explosion hazard

1.Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. Therefore, you must read this guide and follow the instructions exactly before installing or using your PROsine.

2.This equipment contains components which tend to produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install the PROsine in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials, or in locations that require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasolinepowered machinery, fuel tanks, as well as joints, fittings, or other connections between components of the fuel system.

3.To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.

Precautions When Working With Batteries

WARNING: Explosion or fire hazard

1.Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.

2.Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.

3.Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.

4.Use caution to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.

5.Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short circuit current high enough to weld metal to skin, causing a severe burn.

6.Have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

7.Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

8.Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while working near batteries.

Safety

9.If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.

10.If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause a spark.

1 Introduction

Chapter 1 introduces you to the PROsine, explains the inverting, changing and power system management functions

Introduction

Your PROsine

 

Congratulations on your purchase of the PROsine 2.0 Inverter/Charger (PROsine)

 

As part of the PROsine Inverter/Charger family, the PROsine 2.0 gives you

 

quality power, worry-free operation, and outstanding reliability. Its integrated

 

inverting–charging functions and numerous power management features make it

 

ideal for marine installations, recreational and commercial vehicles, and

 

residential back-up systems.

Quality Power

The PROsine’s true sine wave output is identical to (or better than) the power

 

supplied by your utility. A few of the benefits of true sine wave power are less

 

interference on your TV set, more consistent cooking in your microwave, better

 

handling of sensitive loads, and the ability to use dimmer switches and appliances

 

with speed controls. In effect, the PROsine gives you a high quality, mobile wall

 

socket!

Comprehensive

The PROsine’s built-in protection features safeguard your batteries and equipment

Protection

to give you worry-free operation:

 

• The adjustable low battery cutout prevents your batteries from becoming

 

completely discharged.

 

• The battery temperature sensor ensures that the charge delivered to the

 

batteries is adjusted according to their actual temperature.

 

• The multi-stage charging capability ensures that batteries receive the “best”

 

charge with minimal wear and tear.

 

• If the PROsine detects “bad” AC voltage, it switches seamlessly to Invert

 

mode and supplies your equipment with pure sine wave power derived from

 

the batteries. When “good” AC becomes available again, the PROsine allows

 

the AC to pass through to your loads and automatically begins to recharge the

 

batteries.

Reliable Back-up

If utility-supplied power fails, the PROsine automatically detects the failure and

 

instantly becomes an independent power source that supplies quality AC to your

 

loads. There’s no interruption in service and no degradation in performance.

The Heart of a Sophisticated, Independent Power System

The Heart of a Sophisticated, Independent Power System

Your PROsine has been designed to be the heart of a sophisticated, independent power system. While the PROsine is an extremely “friendly” product to operate, Xantrex wants to ensure that you get the best performance from your system. So please take a few minutes to read the next few pages: they’ll give you an excellent understanding of the PROsine’s features and capabilities.

In basic terms, the PROsine is designed to: p Invert

p Charge

p Manage your power system

Inverting

The PROsine’s inverting function:

p Produces 120Vac from your 12V batteries

p Delivers 2kW of power on a continuous basis and 4.5kW of surge power to start heavy loads like air conditioners, fridges, and pumps

 

Much of the time the inverter may not be powering loads. During these times, you

 

don’t want power to be drawn needlessly from the batteries. To reduce idle current

 

to an absolute minimum, Xantrex has included three features:

 

p Low standby battery demand

 

p Load sense (search) mode

 

p Remote Shutdown

Low Standby

When the PROsine is inverting (producing 120Vac output without a load), it

Battery Demand

draws less than 2A of current from the batteries.

Load Sense

To reduce battery draw even further, you can turn on Load Sense mode. In Load

(Search) Mode

Sense mode, the PROsine periodically sends out a search pulse to see whether a

 

load is present. If it finds a load, it will turn on. You can adjust the interval

 

between search pulses, and you can also adjust the load power at which the

 

PROsine will turn on.

 

Note that in Load Sense mode, there’s a short time delay (up to the interval you’ve

 

set) between the time you turn on a load and the time the PROsine delivers power.

 

Of course, you can disable Load Sense mode at any time if you find the delay

 

inconvenient.

Introduction

Remote Shutdown

Naturally, when you are not using the PROsine, you will disable the inverter to

 

conserve your battery. The PROsine still draws up to 50mA of battery current,

 

however—and this will eventually discharge the battery. So when you don’t need

 

the PROsine for an extended period of time, you can reduce battery draw to less

 

than 1mA by setting the PROsine’s ON/OFF/REM switch to OFF.

 

This disables all circuitry in the PROsine and removes all power from the display

 

panel. Setting the PROsine’s ON/OFF/REM to REMOTE lets you achieve the

 

same result using a conveniently located system “kill” switch. This feature is

 

particularly valuable for vehicles like ambulances where it is imperative that the

 

system not draw power when the vehicle motor is not running.

Charging

Built-in Charge

For the inverter to perform at the highest level, the batteries must be charged

Formulas

correctly. Every battery has a unique charge formula (or “algorithm”) dictated by

 

the manufacturer for optimal performance. The PROsine has twenty-one built-in

 

formulas to charge your batteries correctly—and you have the ability to fine tune

 

these formulas to meet the needs of new models or specialized batteries.

Battery

Since battery temperature is a key factor in correct charging, the charging formula

Temperature Sensor

must be adjusted (automatically and in real time) according to the actual battery

 

temperature to ensure that batteries are fully, but not over charged. For this reason,

 

Xantrex has included a battery temperature sensor with your PROsine and has

 

temperature compensated the charge algorithm.

Manual

Over a period of time, the cells in a flooded battery can develop uneven chemical

Equalization Mode

states. This can result in a weak (undercharged) cell which, in turn, can reduce the

 

overall capacity of the battery. To improve the life and performance of a non-

 

sealed flooded battery, the PROsine’s multi-stage charging cycle includes a

 

manual Equalize mode that should be used occasionally to restore an equal

 

chemical state to all cells.

Dead Battery

In addition to the numerous features which let you maximize your battery’s life

Charging

and performance, the PROsine—unlike many chargers—also has the ability to

 

recharge batteries even if the voltage is near zero.

The Heart of a Sophisticated, Independent Power System

Power System Management

As we pointed out at the beginning of this introduction, the PROsine is designed to be the heart of your power system. In addition to refined charging and inverting functions, the PROsine is the control center for managing your power system. As the interface between your batteries, loads, and AC source, the PROsine:

p Takes 12Vdc and produces 120Vac to power your loads

p Takes 120Vac, when available and, via its intelligent, automatic, and fast

 

Transfer Relay, passes the 120Vac to your loads

 

p Uses its Power Share capability to tap off power to charge the batteries while

 

120Vac is being passed to the loads

 

And finally, the PROsine allows for the expansion of your system to meet

 

changing power requirements.

Load Management

The PROsine has a built-in Transfer Relay that connects AC shorepower or

 

inverter output to your loads. Because the usual AC power sources (marina and

 

campground outlets or small generators, for example) often have limited current

 

availability, having the ability to manage your AC loads is extremely valuable,

 

and therefore the PROsine provides a number of features to facilitate this:

 

p The charger is power factor corrected to use AC current as efficiently as

 

possible and only requires 15 amps to provide rated charger output—some

 

other chargers require as much as 22 amps to provide the same output.

 

Minimizing the AC current used by the charger means more current for your

 

loads.

 

p The PROsine uses a Power Share feature which senses the AC load on the

 

system and gives priority to your AC loads, thereby reducing the charger

 

current to avoid nuisance tripping of the breaker.

 

p Sometimes the usual AC shorepower sources have low voltage. To avoid

 

loading these weak sources any further, the charger automatically reduces its

 

AC current draw as the AC voltage approaches the minimum acceptable level

 

(as set by the user).

Expandability

As your power needs grow, you can connect two PROsines in series mode to

 

create a 120/240Vac split phase system which is capable of supplying 4kW

 

(continuously).

 

Both of these PROsines can be connected to operate from a single (but larger)

 

battery bank, and will work in tandem to provide the fastest possible, accurate

 

charge.

Introduction

Auto Restart After

Errors

.

The PROsine protects itself against numerous conditions (e.g. AC overload or over temperature) by shutting down. You can program the PROsine to restart automatically when the cause of the shutdown has corrected itself.

 

Important: Auto Restart After Errors is factory-set to OFF since this feature can

 

cause the PROsine to start unexpectedly and supply AC.

Run Without Panel

The Run Without Panel configuration setting is an excellent recovery feature that

 

enables your PROsine to continue running if the display panel is disconnected or

 

if its communication cable is damaged. Run Without Panel is factory-set to OFF.

Materials List

Important:

pDC Wiring Enclosure

For residential installations, some installation codes may require a wiring enclosure for DC connections and cables. (Installation procedures are shipped with the DC Wiring Enclosure.)

pCrimp-On Ring Terminals (for DC Wiring Enclosure)

If you are using the DC Wiring Enclosure, you should use crimp-on ring terminals on the PROsine end of your DC cables. Most box connectors (set screw types) are too large to fit in the enclosure without the risk of the connector shorting to the wall of the DC Wiring Enclosure. Do not use any connector that does not provide at least 2mm clearance to the inside wall with the wire in place and the set screw tightened.

pSeries Sync Cable

If you are connecting two PROsine’s in series, you will need a Series Sync cable. This is a standard 4-connector telephone cable and may be purchased from most electronics retailers.

Contact Xantrex or your distributor about the Wiring Enclosure. Purchase the crimp-on ring terminals from a local supplier.

If any of these materials are missing or are unsatisfactory in any manner, please contact Customer Service. See page WA–1.
