CR Serie s Function and Operation
The following sections describe important aspects of the
Xantrex CR Series Backup System Inverter ⁄ Charger (CR
Series) operati on. Rea d this to understand how the CR Series
functions.
Inverter to Charger Transition
The internal battery charger and automatic transfer relay allow
the unit to operate as either a battery charger or inverter (but
not both at the same time). The CR Series automatic ally
becomes a battery charger whenever AC power is supplied to
its AC input, while also passing the incoming AC power
through to the loads on the CR Series' AC output (load)
terminals.
Charger Terminology
Constant current stage During this stage of the charge
cycle, the batteries are charged at a constant current, ensuring
rapid replacement of most of the bat tery's charge.
Constant voltage stage During this stage of the ch arge
cycle, the batteries are held at a constant voltage and accept
whatever current is required to maintain this voltage. This
stage ensures replacement of the remaining charge not replaced
during the constant curre nt sta ge, while preventing the
batteries from being over-charged.
7
Introduction
Transfer Switching Speed
While the CR Series is not designed speci ficall y to operate as
an uninterruptib le power supply system (UPS), its transfer
time is normally fast enough to maint ain the power for
computers. The relay transf er time is a maximum of 20
milliseconds.
2 Stage Operation
The CR Series is a simple 2 stage charger which holds the
voltage steady (flo at) afte r charging. Both the charging and
float voltage are 13.5 VDC (for 12 V models) and 27 VDC
(for 24 V model s).
CAUTION
To avoid damage to your batteries, ensure that your batteries are
rated to withs tand the constant float voltage.

CR Series Mounting
Follow these instructions to mount the CR Series.
WARNING: Heavy equipment
The CR Series can weigh up to 27.5 kg (61 lbs) depending upon
configuration (see Table A-3 on page 27). Always use proper lifting
techniques during installation to prevent personal injury . Have extra
people on hand to assist in lifting the CR Series into position while it
is being secured.
Mounting on Wallboard
W al lboar d is not s tr ong enough to sup port the we ight of the C R
Series so addit ional s uppor t must be add ed. The ea siest method
for securing the CR Series to an existing wall is to place two
2 in. x 4 in. boards horizontally on the wall (spanning at least
three studs) and securing the CR Series to those boards.
WARNING
Do not mount the CR Series using only the keyhole slots for
mounting hardware. Use mounti ng bol ts in a t least t wo of the round
holes in addition.
To mount the CR Series:
1. Locate the studs and mark their location on the wall.
2. Measure the desired height from the floor for the CR
Series to be mounted.
11
Installation
3. Using a level, run a horizontal line. The length of the line
must span at least 3 studs.
4. Place a pre-cut 2 in. x 4 in. board on the marked location
and drill pilot holes thr ough the board and studs.
5. Secure the 2 in. x 4 in. board to the 3 studs with #10
wood screws long enough to penetrate 1½ in. into the
studs.
6. Repeat the above procedure for the second 2 in. x 4 in.
board.
7. Drill pilot holes for the mounting bolts into the 2 in. x
4 in. boards, referr ing to Figure 2-1 for locations.
8. With assistance, lift the CR Series into position, and
secure it to the 2 in. x 4 in. boards using ¼ x 1½ in. lag
bolts and washers in at least 6 locations.
Alternativel y, a half or quarter sheet of ¾ in. plywood can
also be used as a backing, with the CR Series mounted
directly to the plywood usin g ¼ in. diameter lag bolts and
washers. The plywood must span and be secured to three
studs for adequate support.

Mounting on Other Types of Walls
As the mounting walls may be made of materials other tha n
wood, Figure 2-1 and the met hods d escribed i n “ Mounting on
Wallboard” are val id, providing local mounting codes are
met. You will need to refer to your local building codes in
order to determine what type of mounting equipm ent is
needed to secur el y m ount the CR Seri es.
Battery Cabl e Connec tion
WARNING: Risk of overhe ating and fire
Risk of overheating and fire. Under-sized cables, loose
connections, or improper connections will overheat. Use the
recommended cable sizes below. Do not place anything between
the flat part of the CR Series terminal and the battery cable ring
terminal. Do not apply any type of anti-oxid ant paste to terminals
until after the battery cable wiring is torqued. Tighten the nuts on
the DC terminals to 10 to 15 foot-pounds of torque.
14
CAUTION
Reverse polarity connection of the battery will da ma ge the inverter/
charger and is not covered by your warranty. Ensure correct
polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) before
completing the connections from the battery to the CR Series.
Important:
close to each other as pos sible, using cable ties or clamps to hold
them together. This reduces the effect of inductance, produces a
better w aveform, and incre ases efficiency.
Figure 2-2 illustrates the proper method to connect the
battery cables to the CR Series terminals.
Run the positive and negative batter y cabl es as
Battery Cable Connection
CAUTION
Do not place any thing between the battery cable ring te rmi nals and
the terminal surfaces on the inverter. The terminal stud is not
designed to carry current. Apply a nti-oxidant past e to the terminals
only after thei r terminals have been torqued.
Verify that cable l ugs are flush against the batt ery terminal
surfaces.

DC Disconnect and Over-Current Protection
DC Disconnect and Over-Current Protection
For safety and to comply with regulations, battery overcurrent prote ction and disconnect devices are required. Fuses
and disconnects must be sized to prote ct the DC cable size
used, and must be rated for DC operation. Do not use devices
rated only for AC service - they will not function properly.
Note that some installat ion requirements may not require a
disconnect device , al though over-current protection is still
required. Refer to the table below for the proper size overcurrent protection (fuse or breaker) for specific cable sizes
listed in Table 2-1.

this hazard. Xantrex recommends that all wiring be done by a
qualified el ectrician to ensure adherence to the local and national
electric al codes applicable in your application.
On the right (AC) e nd of t he chassi s is the AC har dwire co ver
or conduit b ox (depen dent on the powe r le vel). A si x-positi on
terminal block is provi ded to make the AC input, AC out put,
and ground connections. Consult the applicable electri cal
codes to determine any AC input and output overcurrent
protection a nd disconnect switches that may be required. The
AC breakers in a sub-panel may meet this requirement.
To make AC connections:
1. Disconnect the CR Series from the battery either by
turning off the battery switch or removing the battery
cables from the battery. Disconnect the AC source by
opening the appropriat e circuit breaker in the AC panel
supplying the circuit.
2. Feed the wires through appropriate conduit and the AC
