Explosiv e Gas Precaut ions

1. To reduce ri sk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the batt ery manufa ctur er and the manuf acturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of a batte ry. Review cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.

2. This equipment contains components which tend to produce arcs or spark. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install the inverter/charger in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in locations that require ignition-prot ected equipment. This includes any space conta ining gasolinepower machinery, fuel tanks, as well as joints, fittings, or other connections between components of the fuel system.

Personal Precautions When Working With Batteries

1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid cont acts your skin, clothing, or eyes.

3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while wo rki ng near batteries.

4. If battery acid conta cts you r skin or cl othing, wa sh immedi atel y with soa p and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least ten minutes and get medical attention immediately.

5. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine .

6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto a batter y. It might spark or short-cir cuit battery or other electrical parts that may cause explosion.

7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracele ts, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit c urrent high enough to we ld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

8. Never charge a frozen battery.

WARNING: Risk of explosive gases

Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operat ion. For this reason, it is of utm os t importance that you must read this guide and follow its instructions closely each time befor e you service equipment in the vicinity of the batt er y.

9. If it is necessary to remove a battery, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off, so as not to cause an arc.

10. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated.

11. Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with your eyes.

12. Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precauti ons such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and the recommended rates of charge.

13. For refillable (flooded) batteries, add distilled water in each cell until the battery acid reac hes the lev el spec ifie d by the b attery manufactu rer. This helps to purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s recharging instruc tions.

About the MS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger

The MS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger is a convenient combination of an inverter, multistage battery charger, transfer switch, and Echo Char ger in one electronic d evi ce.

• As an inverter, the MS2000 provides sine wave power for your microwave, entertainment system, computer, and other loads. This power is identical to the AC source provided from the utility gr id (power company).

Some of the benefits of sine wave power include consistent cooking in your microwave, handling of sensitiv e loads such as your TV set, dimmer switches, and appliances with speed cont ro ls.

• As a 100 amp charger , the MS2000 quickly and completely recharges your batteries.

• The built-in tr ans fer sw i tch aut o ma tica lly tr ans fers b et ween inv er te r power and incoming qualified AC power.

• The Echo Charger all ows you to charge an engine battery. The engine battery is the battery connected to the Echo Charger output. Typically, this will be an engine starting batte ry or an auxiliary battery for loads other than the inverter.

How MS2000 Works

The MS2000 is designed to:

• invert

• charge

With AC input availa ble from the utility grid or a generator, power is passed through the MS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger to operate connected AC loads. The remaining AC power not used by loads is converte d to DC power and used to charge batteries.

If AC input power be comes disconnected, fails, or falls out of specification and is no longer qualified as good AC, a quick transfer takes place and the MS2000 begins converting DC power from the batt eries into AC power, with no interruption in power supplied to the AC loads.

Inverting

The MS2000’s inverting function:

• produces 120 volts AC from your batterie s

• delivers 2000 watts of power on a continuous basis and 5000 watts of surge

power to start loads like pumps and refrigerators.

T o prevent power being drawn needlessly from the bat teries, Xantrex® has included the load sensing feature.

Load Sense Mode T o reduce battery draw, you can turn on Load Sense Mode with the System Control Panel. In Load Sense Mode, the inverter periodically sends out a search pulse to see whether a load is present. If it finds a load, the inverter will turn on. You can adjust the interval between load sense pulses, and you can also adju st the loa d pow er at which the inverter will turn on. If no loa d is found, then the inverter will continue in Load Sense mode, which reduces the inverter draw from the battery to a minimum.

In Load Sense mode, there’s a short delay—up to the interval you’ve set— between the time you turn on a load and the time the inverter/charger delivers power . Load Sense mode can be disabled at any time if you find the delay to be inconvenient.

Charging

The MS2000’s charging function:

• produces 100 amps to charge your batteries

• equalizes flooded , le ad aci d batteries

Built-in Charge Formulas For the inverter to perform at the highe st level, the batteries must be charged correctly. The MS2000 has optimized algorithms for flooded, gel, and AGM batteries.

Battery Temperature Sensor Since battery temperature is a key factor in correct charging, the charging formula must be adjusted (automatically and continuously) accor ding to the actual battery temperature to ensure that batteries are fully charge d, but not overcharged. For this reason, Xantrex has included a battery temperatu re sensor with your MS2000 Sine W ave Inverter/Charger and has temperature compensated the charge formula.

Manual Equalization Over a period of time, the cells in a flooded battery can develop uneven chemical sta tes. This can result in a weak (underchar ged) 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 MS2000’s mul ti-stage charging c ycle in cl udes a m anual equaliz e mode that c an be u sed , if recommende d by the battery manufactur er.

Dead Battery Charging Another feature that the MS2000 includes is dead battery char ging. The MS2000—unlike many chargers— has the ability to recharge batte ries even if the battery voltage is very low.

Load Management The MS2000 has a built-in transfer relay that connects AC input from the utility grid, generator , or inverter output to your loads. Because the usual AC power sources such as marinas or small generators often have limited current availability, having the capability to manage your AC loads is ext remely valuable. The MS2000 provides a number of features to facilitate this:

• The charger is power factor corrected to use AC current as efficiently as possible and only requires 15 amps to provide rated charger output. Minimizin g the A C current used by the ch arger means more current is available for your AC loads.

• MS2000 uses a power share feature which monitors the AC load on the system. It reduces the charge current and gives priority to the AC load to avoid nuisance tripping of the breaker.

• Occasionally, AC input sources have low voltage. To avoid loading these weak sources any further, the charger automatically reduces its AC current draw as the AC vo ltage approaches the mi ni mu m acce ptab le l ev el.

Echo Charger By default, the built-in Echo Char ger is enabled by the MS2000 to charge an engine batt ery whe n the main charger is enabled and operating in bulk or absorption mode. The Echo Charger may be disabled through the System Control Panel.

1. Disconnect AC power from MS2000 AC input by opening the breaker or disconnect. Press the Inverter Enable butt on on the MS2000. The Inverter On light illuminates.

2. Place a load on the inverter. For example, plug a 100 watt light bulb into an outlet that the inverter is powering and make sure it works. The inverter should run the load using batter y power.

3. To test the charger, reconnect the AC input power to the AC input. The Charger On light should illuminate after a brief delay. Any AC loads previously powered by the inverter will also work at this time.

4. Remove the AC input power. The inverter/charger should transfer to invert mode immediately. (The transfer relay will make a clicking sound and the Inverter On light will illum inate.) Loads should continue to operate uninterrupted.

To test the transfer switch:

1. If the inverter is enabled, press the Invert er Enab le button on the unit to disable the inverte r function. The Inverter On light is not illuminate d.

2. Apply qualified AC power to the MS2000 input. After a brief delay, the External AC light should ill uminate and AC loads on the output should operate.

If any part of this procedure fails, determine the cause before using the inverter/charger. Consult the “Troubleshooting” chapter starting on pa ge 4–1.

To test the Echo Charger:

1. Check the System screen on the System Control Panel and ensure the MS2000 is in the Bulk or Absorption charge cycle.

2. From the MS2000 advanced menu on the System Control Panel, verify that the Echo Charger is enabled.

3. If the Echo Charger is enabled, verify that the MS2000 advanced menu is displaying the Echo Char ger current and voltage.

Operation

975-0125-02-01 2–7

Operate Mode

Character isti cs In Operat e mod e, all co mm u nic at ions are enabl ed o n the Xan b us syst em . Al l

power conversion functions are enabled. Each Xanbus-enabled device is monitoring and communicating its input.

The basic stat e of the Sy stem Co nt ro l Pan el is Oper ate mo d e. In O perat e mo de, the System Control Panel communicates with other Xanbus-enabled devices and displays all the network inf ormation which it is configured to display.

Whenever the System Control Panel or any othe r device on the Xanbus system is powered on or reset, it will be in Operate mode.

P ow er Save M ode

Characteristics Power Save mode minimizes power draw by the System Control Panel and othe r

Xanbus-enabled device s on the Xanbus system. Power Save mode stops all communication on the network, and disables the power conversion functi ons of Xanbus devices. For example, in Power Save mode, the inver ter/charger will not invert and an Automatic Generator Start will not start a generator.

When to use Use Power Save mode during periods when your power needs are minimal.

Putting the system in Power Save mode will help prese rve the charge in your batteries during periods of minimal power usage.

Entering and exiting Power Save mode also serves as a “reset” command for the system.

If there are active faults in the system, you cannot put the system into Power Save mode. Clear any active fault, correct the condition that caused the fault, then put the system into Power Save mode.

To ente r or exit Po w er Sav e m ode:

◆ Press and hold the System butto n on the System Co ntrol Panel for one second. After you release the System button, the System Control Panel screen and

indicator lights will turn off.

Operation

2–8 975-0125-02-01

You can also enter or exit Power Save mode on the System Settings menu by selecting Desire d Mode and scrolling to PowerSave as shown in Figure 2-4.

Returning to Oper ate mode

If an inverter/charger supplies power to the network, applying AC input with utility power or generator power au tomatically returns the system to Operate mode.

Safe Mode

Characteristic s Selecting Safe mode stops the generator (if it is running) and puts the System

Control Panel (and all Xanbus- enable d devices) into Safe mode. While in Safe mode, the System Control Panel remains power ed, “listening” to and reporting its status to the network. Howe ver , the oupt ut power of all Xa nbus-e nabled de vices is disabled and all inverting, charging, and generator starting activity stops. In Safe mode, the MS2000 will not pass AC.

In Safe mode, the MS2000 continues to communicate, but the inverting and charging functions are disabled.

When to use Use Safe mode when you are adding or removing devices from the network.

Authorized servic e perso nnel must also put the System Control Panel in Safe mode before performing soft ware upgrades and diagnostics with the Xantrex Diagnostic Tool.

If the System Control Panel is powered off while in Safe mode, it will be in Safe mode when it is powered up again.

To return to Operate mode:

◆ On the System Settings menu, under Desired Mode, se lect “Operate.”

Operatin g in In v ert Mode

Once the inverter/charger is installed, you can operate it in invert mode.

To operate in invert mode from the front panel:

1. Press the Inverter Enable button on the MS2000.

2. If ex tern al AC is p res ent , the Extern al AC lig ht illum ina te s . If AC is pr esen t

and you want to run the inverter, remove AC so the inverter turns on. Once the Inverter On light is on, the MS2000 inverter is ready to deliver AC

pow e r to the loads .

◆ To operate the inverter with the System Control Panel, refer to Chapter 3,

“Configuration”.

Load Sense Mode

The Load Sense m ode of t he MS2000 reduc es ba ttery power consumpt ion in or der to conserve battery charge.

When the inve rter is en abl ed , the invert er /c harge r can be confi g ured to search for an acceptable AC load. (It does this when you enabl e (turn on) “Load Sense” on the MS2000 Advanced Menu on the System Control Panel and set the load sense power threshold “Sense Below.”)

When the load sense feature is disable d (t urned off), the inverter is continuously on. With load sense enabled, the inverter output consists of pulses if the unit doesn’t detect a load that meets the load sense parameters. When an acceptable load is detected, the inverte r output is turned on automatically and provides full output power.

WARNING

Review the “Important Safety Instructions” on page vii before operating the inverter/charger.

Important:

If you are having problems with an y of your loads, refer to “Inverter Applications” on page 4–15.

Operation

975-0125-02-01 2–13

Operating Limits for Inverter Operation

Power Output

Temperature The continuous output rating for the MS2000 is 2000 watts or 17 amps at 120

volts AC. The MS2000 can deliver this power in an ambient (surrounding) temperature up to 122 °F (50 °C). Above this temperature, you must reduce the power demand or the unit may shut down to protect itself against overheating.

As with all inverters, the amount of continuous power that the MS2000 can deliver without overhe ating is limited by the ambient air temperature. The MS2000 will operate and deliver its continuous power rating at higher temperatures, but the ambient temperature as well as the input voltage from the battery will limit the ext ent to which it can run continuously. Operating the inverter/charger in conditions outside of power and te mperature limits will result in thermal shutdown and/or sig nificantly decreased performance.

In addition, operati on in this range is outsi de the rati ngs covered by the regul atory approvals of the product. See “Invert Power Derating vs Ambient Temperature” on page A–6.

Difficulty on starting loads

The inverter/charger should be able to operate all AC loads rated at or below its power rating. Some high horsepower induction motors used in pumps and other motor-opera ted equipment require very high surge currents to start, and the inverter/charger may have difficulty starting these loads. See “Inverter Applications” on page 4–15.

If you have problems starting certain loads, ensure that the:

• Battery connections a re tight and clean

• DC cabling is not longer than the recommended length. Refer to the MS2000

Sine Wave Inverter/Charger Installation Guide for this informati o n.

• AC wiring is of the recommended size. Refer to the MS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger Installation Guide for this information.

• Battery is of sufficient capacity and it is fully charged.

Operation

2–14 975-0125-02-01

Operating in Ch arger Mode

To operate the MS2000 in charger mode from the front panel:

1. Connect AC input power. House bank charging starts automatically when qualified AC power is

connected i f the charge r is enab l ed, o r the charg er is disab l ed but the Fo rc e Charge enable ove rri d e is On. (See “Force Charge” on page 3–24.)

The Echo Charger operat es any time it is enabled and the main charger is enabled and operating in bul k or absorption mode, and the house battery ban k voltage is above 13.2 volts DC.

• The house battery bank is charged according to the two-stage or three-

stage formula you have selected on the System Control Panel. (See “Battery Charging Ref erence for the Main Charger” on page B–1 for more information on two-stage or thre e-stage charging.)

• You can interrupt the charge cycle any time you desire by disabling the

charger f rom the System Co ntrol Panel or by pressing the Ch arger Enable button (on the front panel of the MS2000) so it is no longer illuminated.

• To maintain optimal performance in flooded batteries, an occasional

equalize cycl e may be required on the house battery only. See “Operating in Equalization Mode” on page 2–18.

• While the house battery bank is being charged, you can monitor which

stage it is in from the System Control Panel.

◆ To operate the charger with the System Control Panel, refer to Chapter 3, “Configuration”.

WARNING: Explosive Gases

Review the “Important Safety Instructions” on page vii before operating the inverter/charger. During charging, batteries m ay generate explosive gases. Thoroughly ventilate the areas around the batteries and ensure that there are no sources of flames or spar k in the vicinity.

Study all battery manufacturer’s precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and the recommended rates of charge.

Important:

If you are charging a non-sealed battery, ensure there is sufficient distilled water in each cell. The battery acid should be at the level specified by the battery manufacturer . This helps prevent over-heating and purges excessive gases from the cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, follow the manufacturer’s rechargi ng in struct io ns carefully.

Important:

The Echo Charger doe s not operate when the main char ger is in Equalize mode. Echo Charger operation is suspended in Equalize mode.

Operation

975-0125-02-01 2–15

Echo Charger Operation

Charger Operation with Battery Temperature Sensor

Since battery temperatur e is a key factor in optimal charging, the house battery charger vol tage wi ll be adjusted ( automati call y and conti nuously ) acc ording t o the actual batter y temperature to ensure that the house batte ry i s fully c har ged, but not overcharge d. Fo r this reason, Xantrex has included a battery temperature sensor (see Figure 2-11) with your MS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger that allows the main charger to pro vide this temperat u re-c o mpensated charg e formula. The Echo Charger output bank is not temperature compensated.

The battery temperatur e sensor continuously measures the temperature of the house battery and adjusts the main charger output for a more accurate, temperature-compensated charge.

When batteries are cold, their chemical reaction is sluggish, meaning they don’t absorb charge as easily. Thus a charge level optimized for room temperature will not charge the batteries sufficiently if they are cold. The main charger must compensate by increasing its voltage to achieve the compensated equiva lent of a room temperature charge.

If the batteries are hot , the chemical reaction is hyperactive and they absorb energy too easily; thus a standard room-temperature charge would tend to overcharge a hot battery. Therefore, the main charger compensa tes by reduc ing its voltage.

The battery temperatur e sensor automatically, and continuously, makes adjustments to the main charger’s voltage setpoints to properly charge your batteries. The actual charge compensation formula can be found on page A–3.

If a battery temperature sensor is not present, the MS2000 uses the cold, warm, and hot settings. Charging may not be effective at extreme temperatures. See “Main Charger Specifications” on page A–3.

Important:

It is normal to see a voltage th at is different than the specified setpoint when charging if the batte ry case temperature is above or below 77 °F (25 °C)

Operating in Equ alization Mode

Follow the battery manuf actur er’s rec ommendat ions for equ alizing your batte ries. As a guide, a heavi ly used floode d batt ery may need to b e equali zed o nce a m onth, and a battery in light servic e may only need to be equaliz ed every two to four months.

Measure the specific gravity (S.G.) of each cell using a hydrometer. For fully charged lead-acid batterie s, the reading should be approximately 1.265. Low specific gravity after charging or a 0.25 difference from cell to cell indicates the need for equalization.

WARNING: Explosive gases

Equalization generates explosive gases. Ensure adequa te ventilation.

CAUT ION: Batteries may be damaged

Sealed lead-acid batteries and gel batteries must NEVER be equalized or premature battery failure will resul t. Equalize mode is disable d if you have selected “Gel” and “AGM” as the battery type.

Only flooded (wet) lead-acid batteri es should be equalized. As a general rule, do not equali ze a battery unless there are provisions to add water to it and the manufacturer recommends equalizati on.

CAUT ION: Batteries may be damaged

If carried out too frequently or done improperly, equalization can damage your batteries. Never e quali ze a b atte ry more than ne cessa ry. Always check electrol yte level before AND after equal iza tion. Fill with disti lled water per the battery manufacturer’s recommendation.

CAUTION: Risk of damage to DC load equipment

Equalizatio n volt age ma y be as high a s 15.5 volt s DC. Disco nnect s ensiti ve l oads from the battery befor e equ alizing.

Equalizing Batt eries

To equalize your batteries:

1. Turn off or disconnect a ll loads on the battery.

The voltage applied to the ba ttery during equalization may damage your electronic eq ui pmen t . As well, eq ual izat i on won ’t proceed correctly if loads are drawing current from the bat te ry.

2. Check electrolyte level.

Fill with distilled water if the electrolyte level is low.

3. To request the equalization charge, ensure the Charger switch is enabled, and

then scroll to the Equalize se tting on the System Control Panel.

4. In the MS2000 home menu, highlight Equaliz e, as shown in

Figure 2-12.

When you select On, the equalization confirmation warning appears, as shown in Figure 2-13.

Important:

Equalization will be carried out after an absorption charge. Equalization only runs for 60 minutes and may need to be restarted if the specific gravity is still uneven.

Terminating the Equalization Process

The equalization proce ss can be ter minated in three ways:

• user cancellation f rom the System Control Panel as shown in Figure 2-15

• inverter/cha rger cancellation if AC is removed or the charger is disabled

• successful completion of the equalization process

Operating Limits for Charger Operation

The maximum output current f or the MS2000 is 100 amps, spl it betwe en the main charger (maxi mum 100 amps DC) and the Echo Charger (maximum 10 amps DC). You can reduce the total output if you change the “Charge Rate” setting on the MS2000 Advanced Menu or the maximum Power Share setting on the MS2000 Basic Menu.

The charger can operate over an AC input range of 90–135 vo lt s AC. Th is is th e default setting and can be adjust ed to 85–145 volts AC as a maximum range and to 110–120 volts AC as a minimum range.This wide range allows the MS2000 to charge your batt eries even when incoming AC voltage is less than ideal.

P ow er Sha r e

The MS 2000 charge r shar es incoming power w ith AC load s. T he A C loa ds h ave priority, which means that the charger will reduce its output with la rge AC loads and increase the output again when the AC load decreases. The regulatory maximum for continuous AC loads is 80% of the breaker rating that the loads are connected t o.

The MS2000 senses pass-through current going to the AC load. The difference between the pass-t hrough (loa d) and 80% of the Power Share setti ng is the c urrent that is available for charging the batteries.

For example, if the AC input of the MS2000 is from an AC panel with a 30A breaker, the Power Share setting on the System Control Panel should be selected as 30A. Based on this, the charge r will cont rol the charge current so that the tota l current draw is equal to or less than 24A in this case. S hould the load current be more than 24A, the charger output will reduce to 0A, but the MS2000 will continue to su pply the loads. The MS2000 will continue to pass-through power to the loads, even if the load current exceeds the Power Share setting. In this case, it will be up to the user to remove/di sconnect loads if tripping the AC input breaker supplying the MS2000 is to be avoided.

Important:

Changing the “Charge Rate” setting does not affect the Echo Charger’s

output current.

Max Chg Rate

Full name Maximum charge rate Configurable setting The actual battery char ge ra te is de termined by t wo things . Fir st, the MS 2000 uses

the house battery Batt Size setting (C) on page 3–15 divided by 5 (C÷5) to determine that maximum total charger output. This value is then modified by t he charge rate set ting.

For exampl e, if the hou se battery bank size is set to 300 Ah a nd the charge rate was set at 100%, the calculation would be: 300 ÷ 5 or 60 amps × 100% which is a 60 amp charge rate. If the charge rate is adjusted to 50%, the resulting charge rate would be 30 amps (60 amps × 50%) total.

Even though you can set a house battery bank size of 2000 Ah, where C÷5 is 400 amps, the MS2000 would still charge at 100 amp, the maximum total charge rate.

When to use Displayed only if in charger mode when you wish to control the m aximum charge

rate to your batteries.

Echo Chg

Configurable setting This setting lets you enable or disable the Echo Charger function.

When to use The MS2000 has a maximum total charge rate of 100 amps, split between the

main charger and the Echo Charger. The Echo Charger uses a maximum of 10 amps DC, which is not affected by the Max Chg Rate setting.

When the Echo Charger is enabled, 10 amps of the 100 amp charge output could be delivered to the engine batte ry and 90 amps could be delivered to the house battery bank. You must disable the Echo Charger if you want 100 am ps of charge current going to the house battery bank.

For example, if the bank size is 500 Ah or more and the Max Chg Rate is set to 100%, the calculation would be: 500 ÷ 5 or 100 amps × 100%. The total output would be 100 amps with 90 amps going to the house battery bank and 10 amps to the engine battery.

Faults and Warnings

When a fault or warning message appears, you can acknowledge the message to clear the screen. To acknowledge a fault or warning message, press the Enter button on the System Control Panel. This action does not clear the fault or warning condition, so you should consult Table 4-3 and Table 4-4 for suggested actions after you have acknowl edged the message. Refer to the System Control Panel Owner’s G u i de for more information on faults and warnings.

Fault Types

There are three types of fault messages: automatic faults, manual faul ts, and escalating automatic faults. Table 4-1 describes how they differ in their behavior and how you can respond to them when they appear on the System Control Panel.

Table 4-1

Faults Types and Behaviors

Fault type Behaviour

Automatic faults Clear autom atically if the fault condition that

generated the message goes away . You can also acknowledge automatic faults without waiting for them to clear automatically.

Manual faults Require you to clear them by:

• selecti ng Clear Faults on the MS2000 or on the devic e th at gen er ated th e faul t ( if th e faul t condition still exists, the fault message reappears)

• correcting the co ndition that caused the fault

Escalati ng automatic faults

Clear automati call y i f th e f ault c onditi on go es a way, just like an automatic fault. However, if an escalating automatic fault occurs several times with in a defined time period, the escalating automatic fault becomes a manual fault, requiring user intervention. For example, three faults occur in one minute . It will no longer clear itself but becomes a manual fault. Then you must identify the problem, corr ect the f ault condit ion, and clear th e fault or rese t th e devi ce .

Troubleshooting

975-0125-02-01 4–3

Warning Types

There are two types of warnings: automatic and manual. When the MS2000 detects a warn ing condition, it displays a warning message on the System Control Panel.

T able 4-2 describes how they dif fer in their behavior and in how you can respond to them when they appear on the System Control Panel.

Table 4-2

Warning Ty pes and Behavior

Warning type Behaviour

Automatic warning Clear automatically if the fault condition that

generated the message goes away . You can also acknowledge automatic warnings without waiti ng for them to clear automatically.

Inverter Applications

The Xanbus system p erforms differently depending on the AC loads connected to it. If you are having problems with any of your loads, read this section. The Xanbus system perform diff erently based on differ ent loads.

Resistive Loads

These are the loads that the inverter finds the simplest and most efficient to drive. Voltage and current are in phase, which means they are in step with one another. Resistive loads usually generate heat in order to accomplish their tasks. Toasters, coffee pots, and incandescent lights are typical resistive loads. It is usually impractical to run larger resistive loads—such as electric stove and wa ter heaters—from an inverter due to their high current requi rement s. Even though the inverter may be able to accommodate the load, the size of battery bank required would be impractical if the load is to be run for long periods.

Motor Loads

Induction motors (motors without brushes) require two to six times thei r running current on start up. The most demanding are those that start under load (for example, compressors and pumps). Of the capacitor start motors (typical in drill presses, band sa ws for example), th e l arge st you can expec t to run is ½ to 1 hp ( the 30 amp transfer relay is rated at 1 ½ hp). Universal motors are generally easier to start. Since motor characteristics vary, only testing will determine whether a specific load can be started and how long it can be run.

If a motor fails to start within a few seconds or loses power after running for a time, it should be turned off. When the inverter attempts to start a load that is greater than it can handle, the inverter will turn itself off after a few seconds.

Problem Loads

Very Small Loads

If the power consumed by a device is less than the threshold of the Load Sense mode circuitry, and load sense is enabled, the inve rte r will not run. Most like ly th e solution will be to defeat the Load Sense mode feature or lower the sense threshold. Refer to Xantrex Te ch Note TN3 (979-0003-01-01 Rev. A) for more information.

Fluorescent Lights & Power Supplies

Some devices cannot be detected when scanned by Load Sense circuitry. Small fluoresce nt ligh t s are the mo s t com mon ex am p le. So m e co mpu t ers an d sophisticated el ectronics have power supplies that do not present a load until line voltage is available. When this occurs, each unit waits for the other to begin. To

drive these loads, either a small companion load must be used to bring the inverter out of its search mode, or the inverter may be programmed to remain on by defeating the search mode feature.

Clocks

The inverter’s crystal-contr olle d oscillator keeps the fre quency accurate to within a few seconds a day. Most clocks do not draw enough power to trigger the load sensing circuit. In order to operate without other loads present, the load sensing will have to be defeated. The best solution is to buy a battery-operated clock or a clock that is not dependent on line fre quency and voltage.

Searching

If the amount of power which a load draws decreases after the load turns on, and if this “on” load is less than the load sensing thr eshold, it will be turned on and off by the inverter. Incandescent light bulbs may present this problem when the load sensing threshold is set near the wattage rating of the bulb. The solution is to reduce the load sense power thres hold.
