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.

Safety

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.

For managing your onboard power system, the MS2000 provides superior
features and rugged durability combined with ease of use:

• 2000 watt inverter/charger with 5000 watt surge for 5 seconds

• Three-stage cha rge with 100 amps of output and charge for mulas for flooded,

gel, and AGM deep cycle batteries plus equalization for flooded batteries

• Echo Charger provide s a maximum of 10 amps charge current

• Sine wave output safely powers sensitive entertainment electronics

• Built-in 30 amp tra nsfer swi tch pr ovides automati c transf er between AC input

and inverter power

• Easy-to-read indicator lights on the front panel

• Automatic cooling fans

• Power sharing reduces char ging current to prevent tripping of AC input

breaker

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.

Front Panel Fea ture s

Feature Description

1 AC wiring compartment access panel provides access to the terminal block for

wiring the AC input and AC output.

2 AC knockouts provide access for AC input and AC output wiring. A total of four

knockouts are provided on the unit: two on the front and one on each side (not
shown).

3 Mounting flanges are used for mounting the unit. A total of six flanges are

provided on the unit.

4 Fans are located on the top of the unit and the bottom of the unit.

• T op external fan is an intake fan that activates when the internal temperat ure of
the inverter/charger increases. The fan speed varies with the internal temperature
and turns off when the inverter/charger cools down. (This internal temperature
may be caused by heat in the inverter/charger or by high ambient temperature.)

• Bottom internal fan (not shown) is an exhaust fa n and runs continuously if the
unit is inverting or charging.

than or equal to 75 amps DC.

8 25–75A light illuminates when the to tal char ge current of the main char ger and the Echo Charger is

greater than or equal to 25 amps DC and less than 75 amps DC.

9 10–25A light illuminates when the to tal char ge current of the main char ger and the Echo Charger is

greater than or equal to 10 amps DC and less than 25 amps DC.

10 <10A illuminates when the total charge current of the main charger and the Echo Charger is le ss than 10

amps DC.

11 Charger Enable button toggles between enab le (On) and disable (Off). When the ch arger is enabled, it

can produce DC output to charge your batteries. When the charger is disabled, it does not produce DC
output to charge your batteries, but still passe s AC input through to AC loads (if prese nt).

12 Inverter Enable button toggles between enable (On) and disable (Of f). When the inverter is enabled, it

can produce AC output to run your AC loads. When the inverter is dis abled, it does not produce AC
output to run your lo ads ; however, if qualified AC is present, the unit passes AC through to AC loads.

13 Reset button is used for se veral functions: to reset after a faul t, to perform a power on rese t, to wake the

MS2000 from Power Save mode or Hibernate mode. (See “System Modes” on page 2–6 for a
description of the different modes .) To perform a power on reset, hold the reset button for about 5
seconds. All front panel lights will illuminate to indicate the unit has rese t.
