Explosive Gas Precautions

WARNING: Risk of explosive gases

Working in vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost
importance that you must read this guide and follow its instructions closely each
time before you service equipment in the vicinity of the battery.

1. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and
those published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any
equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. 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-protected equipment. This includes any
space containing gasoline-power machinery, fuel tanks, as well as
joints, fittings, or other connections between components of the fuel
system.

Safety

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
contacts your skin, clothing, or eyes.

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

4. If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap 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
the engine.

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

975-0170-01-01 ix

Safety

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

8. Never charge a frozen battery.

9. If necessary to remove the 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 battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in
contact with your eyes.

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

13. For refillable (flooded) batteries, add distilled water in each cell until
the battery acid reaches the level specified by the battery
manufacturer. This helps to purge excessive gas from cells. Do not
overfill. Carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions.

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the RS3000 Sine Wave
Inverter/Charger.

The RS3000 has been designed to give you premium power,
ease of use, and outstanding reliability.

Please read this chapter to familiarize yourself with the main
performance and protection features of the RS3000.

Introduction

About the RS3000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger

The RS3000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger is a convenient combination of
an inverter, multistage battery charger, and transfer switch in one
electronic device.

• As an inverter, the RS3000 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 grid
(power company).

Some of the benefits of sine wave power include consistent cooking
in your microwave, handling of sensitive loads such as your TV set,
dimmer switches, and appliances with speed controls.

• As a 150 amp power-factor corrected charger, the RS3000 quickly
and efficiently recharges your batteries.

• Unique split phase design transfers up to 12 kVA of incoming
qualified AC power.

Premium Power and Ease of Use

For managing your onboard power system, the RS3000 provides superior
features and rugged durability combined with ease of use:

• Produces 120 volts AC at up to 3000 watts, with 7500 watt surge for 5
seconds

• Three-stage charge with 150 amps of output and charge formulas for
flooded, gel, and AGM deep cycle batteries plus equalization for
flooded batteries

• Sine wave output powers sensitive entertainment electronics

• Split phase input transfers two legs of 50 amps to make full use of
available AC power

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

• Automatic cooling fans

• Power sharing reduces charging current to prevent tripping of AC
input breaker.

How RS3000 Works

The RS3000 is designed to:

•invert

•charge

• accept both split phase and dual input. See “Glossary” on page C–2

With AC input available from the utility grid or a generator, power is
passed through the RS3000 Sine Wa ve Inverter/Charger to operate
connected AC loads. The remaining AC power not used by loads is
converted to DC power and used to charge batteries.

If AC input power becomes disconnected, fails, or falls out of
specification and is no longer qualified as good AC, a quick transfer takes
place and the RS3000 begins converting DC power from the batteries into
AC power, to continue to supply power to the AC loads.

Inverting

The RS3000’s inverting function:

• produces 120 volts AC from your batteries at up to 3000 watts with

To prevent power being drawn needlessly from the batteries, the RS3000
has included the load sensing feature.

Load Sense Mode To 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/charger will turn on. If no load is found, then the
inverter continues 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.

Introduction

Charging

The RS3000’s charging function:

• produces 150 amps to charge your batteries

• equalizes flooded, lead acid batteries.

Built-in Charge Formulas For the unit to perform at the highest level,
the batteries must be charged correctly. The RS3000 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 in real time) according to the actual battery temperature to ensure that
batteries are fully charged, but not overcharged. For this reason,
Xantrex® has included a battery temperature sensor with your RS3000
and has temperature compensated the charge formula.

Manual Equalization Over a period of time, the cells in a flooded
battery can develop uneven chemical 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 RS3000’s multi-stage charging cycle includes a manual
equalize mode that can be used, if recommended by the battery
manufacturer.

Dead Battery Charging Another feature that the RS3000 includes is
dead battery charging. The RS3000—unlike many chargers—has the
ability to recharge batteries even if the battery voltage is very low.

Load Management The RS3000 has a built-in transfer relay that
connects your inverter output or AC input from the utility grid or
generator to your loads. Because the usual AC power sources such as
campground outlets or small generators often have limited current
availability, having the capability to manage your AC loads is extremely
valuable. The RS3000 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 22 amps to provide rated charger output.
Minimizing the AC current used by the charger means more current is
available for your AC loads.

• RS3000 has a power share feature which prioritizes your AC loads by
reducing the charge current and maintaining the total input current to
less than your breaker setting or the breaker setting.

• 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 voltage approaches the minimum
acceptable level.
