Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions as prescribed by safety standards for chargers used in RV and marine applications. Read an d keep this Owner’s Guide for future reference.
1. Before installing or using the Xantrex XC3012, XC5012, XC1524 or XC2524 Battery Char ger (XC Series), read all instr uctions and cautionary markings on the XC Series, the batteries, and all appropr iate sections of this guide.
2. Do not expos e the XC Series to rain, snow, spray, or bilge wate r. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obst ruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the XC Series in a zero -c le ara n ce comp a rt me nt. Overheating ma y resul t.
3. Use only attachments rec ommended or sold by Xantrex. Doing otherwise may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
4. The XC Series is designed to be permanently connected to the AC and DC electric al systems. Xantrex recommends that all wiring be done by a certified technician or electrician to ensure compliance with the local and national electrical codes relevant to your installation. I t is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the installation of the XC Ser ies complies with all relevant el ectri ca l cod es.
5. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is not undersiz ed. Do not operate the XC Series with damaged or substandard wiring.
6. Do not disassemble the XC Serie s. I t contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempt ing t o serv ice t he X C Series your self may res u lt in a risk of elec tric al shock or fire. NOTE: Disassembling the XC Series will void your warranty.
7. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconne ct both AC and DC power from the XC Series before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or bef ore working on any circuits connected to the XC Series. Turning the XC Series off using the remote displ ay will not reduce this risk.
v

Safety
8. The XC Series is provided with an AC ground conductor that must be connected to the AC input ground and a DC ground stud which must be connected to the DC system ground.
9. For marine applicat ions in the United States, external connections to the charger shall comply with the United States Coast Guard Electrical Regulations (33CFR183, Sub part 1).
Explosive Gas and Battery Prec autions
W ARNING: Explosion or fire ha zard
1. Read this guide and follow the instructions exactly before installing or using your XC Series.
2. Follow all instru ctions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is instal led.
3. Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is dangerous. Batte ries generate explosive gases dur ing normal operation.
4. The XC Series has been approved as Ignition Protected. It may be installed in areas containing ga soline tanks and fittings which require Ignition Prote cted equipment. Xantrex recommends, nevertheless, that it is safest not to install electrica l equi p me nt in the s e area s.
5. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
6. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.
7. Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark or short circu it the battery or other electric al parts and could cause an explosion.
8. Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watc hes when working with lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short circuit current high enough to weld metal, causing a severe skin burn.
9. Have someone within range of your voic e or clos e enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
vi 975-0187-01-01
XC_Cha rger_Owner .book Page vii Friday, August 12, 2005 3:23 PM
10. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
11. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your
eyes while w ork i ng near batt eri es.
12. If battery acid c ontac ts skin or clothin g, wash immedia tely wit h soap a nd water.
If acid enters your eye, immediate ly flood it with running col d water for at least twenty minutes and get m edical attention immediately.
13. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal from the
battery firs t. Make sure al l accessories are off to reduce the possibility of causing a spark.

Introduction
Location
Install the XC Series in a location that meets the foll owing requirements:
Condition Requirement
Dry The XC Series must be installed in a dry location not subject to rain, spray or splashing
bilge water.
Clean The XC Series should not be exposed to metal filings or any other form of conductive
contamination.
Cool The ambient air temper ature should be between 0 °C - 50 °C (32 °F - 122 °F) for best
performance.
Ven t il at ed Ther e mus t be at le as t 76 mm (3 in . ) o f clearance on each en d o f the XC Series f or ai r
flow. Ventilation openings on the unit must not be obstructe d. If mounting in a tight fitt i ng co mp artm en t, th e co m p a rt m e n t m u st be v en tilat ed w it h cut -outs to prevent overheating.
Safe This battery charger is ignition protected, so it can be installed in areas containing
gasoline tanks or fittings which usually require ignition protected equipment. Xantrex recommends, however, that it is safe st not to install electrical equipment in these areas.
Close to batteries
The XC Series should be ins talled as close as possible to the batteries, but not in the same compartment to prevent excess corrosion. Avoid exces sive cable leng ths and use the recommended wire sizes . Xant rex recommends <3% wire voltage drop (r ound circuit) on battery cables under ful l load.
When planning where and how to mount the XC Series, be sure the installati on allows the char ger to be mounted in one of the permitted vertica l or horiz ontal orientations. For marine install ations, only the mounting configur ations with a check mark in Figure 1-6 meet the North American an d European marine requirements. Marine products are requi red to meet drip tests, to ensure safety in the presenc e of condensatio n. I f you are cert ain your installation is not subject to moisture, configuration d) in Figure 1-6 may be used.

Introduction
Wiring Requirements
WARNING
W i r e and fuse sizes are dictated b y electrical standards. Diffe rent standards apply in different countries and differ ent types of installations, for ex ample, boat, home or RV. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the installation complies with al l applicable standards.
CAUT ION
Ensure that both wires and fuses are cor rec tly sized. Maximum conti nuous curre nt ava ilabl e fro m the char ger may be an additi ona l 6–10% a bov e the nominal current rating of the charger. Output current may also vary depending on ambient temperature conditions.

Over-current protection disconnect
The DC circuit from the battery to the char ger must be equipped with a disconnect and over-c urrent protection device. The device usually consists of a DC-rated circuit breake r, a “fused disconnect”, or a separate fuse and disconnect. These devices must be rated for DC voltage and current. Do not substitute devic es rated only for AC voltage; they may not operat e properly.
The current ratin g of the DC fuses must be matched to the size of the DC wiring used, in accor d ance w ith t he appli cab le co des .
The DC chassis ground (earth ) should not be more than one size smaller than the DC wiring size selected (s ee Table 1-1). Refer to your local electrical codes for verification.
Preparing for Installation
AC Wiring
The AC wiring must meet the following requi rements before you install the XC Series:
The AC input wiring for the XC Series should be three-conductor cable, providing a line, neutral, and ground conductor (or L1, N,
GND) in an outer jacket.
For example, in North America for 120 VAC use a 14 AWG wire with a 15 A breaker; or typic ally in Europe for 230 VAC use either a 2.5mm
2
wire with a 16 A, double pole br eaker or fuse o r use 1.5 mm2 wire with a 1 0 A, double pole breaker or fuse. Note that every jurisdiction will have different requirements, so see the regulation s for your local jurisdiction to determine which wire size and type is correct. A sec o nd example:
for marine applic ations the United States ABYC requires stranded wire, which
is more robust than solid wire when exposed to vibration
for RV applications, the United States NEC allows solid wire in multi-
conductor cable, but stranded wire will withstand vibration better.
The circuit supplying the XC Series must be protected by the correct size and type of breaker to meet the code for your local jurisdiction and application. If a fuse is used, a discon nect swi tch is ne eded ahead o f the fus e.

Xantrex recommends that you in stall t he r ubber boot s over the XC Series DC
To install DC wiring:
1. Identify the bat tery or bank that most frequently becomes deeply discharged.
This bank will ofte n be a deep cycle battery referr ed to as the House Bank on a boat, as opposed to an engine Start Battery. This high priority bank should be connected to bank 1 on the XC Series, which is the default bank.
2. Plan the route that the DC wires will follow, keeping it as short as possible.
Measure and cut the requir ed wire length. Allow some extra length for connections and to provide slack in the wires. Note: The con nection to the battery negative circuit may not be at a battery, but may be at an engine negative bus or a DC negative bus. If in doubt, consult the boat schematics.
3. Identify the positive wires, by using color-coded wire or by marking both ends
of the wire with c olored ta pe or simi lar k ind of marking. Repeat with a dif f erent color for the negat ive. Most install at ion codes recommend col oring the positive red and the negative black.

6. Install crimp lugs on each end of the battery cables using the crimp manufacturer’s instructions and tool.
7. Install rubber boots over the charger end of the DC cables. Xantrex recommends that you install rubber boots over the XC Series DC terminals to provide drip protection. Follow the procedure on page 2–14 to install rubbe r boots.
8. Route the battery temperature sensor from each battery to the charger location.
9. Proceed to “Pre-Installing AC Wiring”.
Pre-Installing AC Wiring
Before connecting AC wiring, make sure the AC source circuit is protecte d by a breaker switch of the correct size and type, to comply with the electrical code for your location and appl ication.
To install AC wiring:
1. Disconnect the AC source by turning off the breaker feeding the circuit, unplugging from sho repower and disconnecting any other power sources (s uch as a generator).
2. Plan the route that the AC wiring will follow from the source (usually an AC distribut ion panel) to the XC Series. Measure and cut the required length of three-condu ctor cable. For example, in North America for 120 VAC use a 14 AWG wire with a 15 A breaker; or typic ally in Europe for 230 VAC use either a 2.5mm 16 A, double pole breaker or fuse or use 1.5 mm breaker or f use. Note that e very jur isdi ction wil l have dif ferent r equir ements, so see the regulations for your local jurisdiction to determine which wire size and type is correct. Allow some extra length for connections and to provide slack.

Grounding
WARNING: Electric shock hazard
Installing t he XC Series
Do not make an ungrounded installation. Have an electri cian install a properly grounded circuit if one is not available. Im proper connection can result in risk of an electric shock.
The XC Series Battery Charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The AC input ground wire of the charger must be properly connect ed to ground in accordance with the applicable electrical codes, this is usually a ground terminal in the AC distri bution panel where the branch circui t originates.
Xantrex recommends that you install a DC chassis ground (earth ) from the ground stud on the XC Series to the engine negat ive bus or DC ground bus. The DC chassis ground (ear th) should not be more than one size smaller than the power c onductors, and must be rat ed for the battery f uses that are used to protect the DC wiring. Refer to your local electrical codes to verify if this is requir ed in your jurisdiction or in your application.

WARNING: Shock hazard
Make sure that the DC fuse or ci rcuit breaker is still open.
To make the last DC connections:
1. Connect t he negative cable from the negative terminal on the battery (if you are using only one battery or bank) , or the negative ground bar or bus (if you are using more than one battery or bank), to the negative DC terminal on the XC Series (Figure 2-1). Use a flatwasher, a lockwasher and a nut (5 included in the installa tion kit) to secure the connection. Tighten the nuts to 3 N-m (30 lb-in.) torque and test that the wire is secure.
Installing t he XC Series
2. Connect each positive cable to the correct positive DC terminal on the XC Series (Figure 2-1). Use a flatwasher, a lockwasher and a nut (5 included in the installa tion kit) to secure the connection. Tighten the nuts to 3 N-m (30 lb-in.) torque and test that the wire is secure.
3. Connect the free end of each positive cable to the correct positive terminal of the battery, using sufficient torque as recommended by your battery manufacturer.
4. Connect the free end of the negative cable to the negative terminal on the battery, using sufficient torque as recommended by your battery manufacturer. Note: If you are using more than one batte ry, you will need to connect the negative ca ble from each of t he batteries to the negative ground bar or bus. The negative ground ba r or bus will then have a single negative cable connecting to the negative charger terminal.
5. Before proc eeding, carefully check the wiring polarity – make sure the positive terminals of the XC Series are connected to the correct terminals of the battery (fuses or br eakers) and from there to the positive terminals of the battery. Make sure the negat ive terminal of the XC Series is connect ed to the battery negative terminal (or engine negative bus/DC negative bus). Do not reverse the connections.
6. Install the DC chassis gr ound (earth) from the ground stud on the XC Series to the engine negativ e bus or DC ground bus.

XC_Cha rger_Owner .book Page 13 Friday, August 12, 2005 3:23 PM
Installing Optiona l Ac c essories
The XC Series ships with a battery temperature sensor (BTS) and drip prote ction rubber boots for the DC cables.
Battery Temperature Sensor
Xantrex strongly r ecommends that you install a Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) to protect your batte ry and improve charging accuracy. It is best to use a separate BTS with each individual bat tery bank, to provide optimal char ging and protection of each bank. If no BTS is connected, the charger defaults to the charging conditions for 40 °C (104 °F). At this tem perature the charging voltage is lower to keep batteries f rom overc harging; charging will be slower and the batter ies will be slightly unde rcharged.
Installing Optional Accessories
One BTS is provided with with your XC Series and additional battery temperature sensors may be purchased separately.
To install a BTS:
1. Switch off al l devices operating from the battery.
2. Connect the ri ng terminal on the sensor directly on to the negative batte ry stud,
or affix the double-sided adhesive backing (included) to the sensor back and attach the sensor to the side of the battery to be monitored.
3. Route the s ensor cable to the char ger and plug it i nto t he bank 1 ( default if usi ng
only one BTS), bank 2 or bank 3 connector on the rear panel.

About Charging
The XC Series has three full current r ated, independently controlled outputs which enable it to charge three different batteries or battery banks. Each output c an accommodate any one of the four allowable battery types, regardless of what battery types are connected to the other outputs. Each output can be in a different stage of charge, ralative to the other banks; for exampe, Ba nk 1 in float, Bank 2 in absorption and Bank 3 in bulk. Each bank can accommoda te a separate battery temperature sensor. The XC Series can also perform either multiplex (3 stage) charging, or sequential (2 stage) charging.
Important:
common negative .
The battery banks are not galvanically isolated from each other. They share a
Multiplex 3-Stage Charging
In multiple x charging mode the charger will check all qualified battery banks every 15 seconds to determine which bank is most in need of char ging. That bank will then be char ged for the ne xt 15 seconds. Every 15 minutes the char ger wi ll quer y all outputs and detect whic h battery banks are present and healthy.
The multiplex charging mode employs the 3-stage char ging algorithm: Bulk, Absorption, and Float. During the Bulk stage the battery is accepting high c urrent. In the Absorpti on stage the batte ry volt age is held c onstant and the current de cline s. A battery will also "gas" (produce hydr ogen and oxygen) during this stage. Finall y, in the Float stage, the charger continues to provide voltage at a lower level to maintain t he battery in a fully charged state. If there is no load on the battery, it will typically dr aw very li ttl e current . The char ger, however, is able to pr ovi de curren t to its full ra ting to power DC loads on the battery. In float, if batteries are very new or a battery is on the low end of the size range and if it is fully charged to the point where it will n ot acc ept any mo re curr ent , then t he cha rger will ent er an ad ap tive float/no flo at behaviour where it will alternate between float charging ( resting the battery (

The charger will restart the charging cycle in the Bulk stage if the battery voltage drops below 12.5 V (12 V units) or 25 V (24 V units) for 15 minutes. Afte r 21 days, the charge r will automatically rest art charging in order to refresh the batteries.

XC_Cha rger_Owner .book Page 3 Friday, August 12, 2005 3:23 PM
Sequential 2-Stage Charging
In sequential charging mode the charger will check all battery banks ever y 15 minutes to determine which banks are present, healthy, and in most in need of charge. The bank most in need of charge will then be char ged for the next 15 minutes.
The sequential charging mode employs the 2-stage charging algorithm. It is the same as the 3-stage algorithm except that there is no float stage; after the absorption stage the charge r stops providing voltage and current to the battery and enters a "rest stage". Like the 3-stage algorithm, the charger will restart the charging cycle in the Bulk stage if the battery voltage drops below 12.5V (12 V units) or 25 V (24 V units) for 15 minute s. After 21 days, the charger will automatically restar t charging in order to refresh the batteries.
About Charging
Charging Overview
The XC Series will perform a battery detec tion sequence every 15 minutes, or on reapplicat ion of AC, to determine which battery banks are present a nd healthy.
If you connect a battery when AC is disconnected, the remote will not recognize it until the unit has perf ormed a battery detection with AC applied.
To force a battery detection sequence,
1. Turn off AC.
2. Wait approximately 20 seconds or until all l ights on the charger or remote have
gone out .
3. Turn on AC.
The charger will then perform a battery detection when AC is reapplied
The charge r does not charge the ba nks in a pre-determined sequence . The bank most in need of charging is the one that receives the charge. For example, if B ank 1 and Bank 2 are both charged, but Bank 1 has a load and Bank 2 does not, then the charger may rar ely cha rge Bank 2 .

Disqualified Batteries
The XC S eri es can ide n tify wh en a batt ery will not accep t a charge (bat t ery is damaged) or whe n it is fully charged (healthy) and does not require further charge. Batteries that will not accept a charge will be removed (disqualified) from the chargi ng sequenc e until a ll ba nks ar e checked aga in (eve ry 15 mi nutes). A da maged battery will continue to be disqualified eac h cycle and the charger will not waste energy trying to charge it. Under some conditions it is also possible that a healthy battery that is ful ly charged but unable to accept current (for example, at the moment it tra nsitions from Absorpti on to Float or Rest ) will be deemed un able to be charged and tempra rily removed from the charging se quence.

Measuring Battery Voltage
Use a voltmeter that has a state d accura cy of 0.5% or better on DC voltage. Place the probes of the meter directly on the studs or plates of the charger terminals. Do not probe on the wire lugs or other places in the battery wir ing system as this will introduce error into the measurement: the char ger monitors battery volta ge as measured at the ch arge r termi nal s .
Tem per a ture Con s ider at ion s
Xantrex strongly r ecommends that you install a Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) to protect your batte ry and improve charging accuracy. It is best to use a separate BTS with each individual bat tery bank, to provide optimal char ging and protection of each bank. If no BTS is connected, the charger defaults to the charging conditions for 40 °C (104 °F). At this tem perature the charging voltage is lower to keep batteries f rom overc harging; charging will be slower and the batter ies will be slightly unde rcharged.

Things to be aware of
When the XC Series is operating, fans and lights (DC loads) may vary in speed or intensity. This is normal. The XC Series will not harm any load connected to it as long as there is a battery present on that bank.
When you initially tur n the XC Series on and configure it, it is possi ble that some banks may be disqualified. Because the charger is able to detect unhealthy batterie s and disqualify them, bat teries that may have appeared healthy be fore will now be correctl y iden tified as need i ng att entio n .
Perform these disqualification checks in the order shown:
1. Wait 15 minutes for the next battery detecti on cycle . The warning may be
temporary.
2. Verify that the battery meets the minimum AmpHour rating (XC1524: 30 Ah,
XC2524: 50 Ah, XC3012: 60 Ah, XC5012: 100 Ah)

Chargin g B atteries
Before you start to c harge batteries read the “Important Safety Instructions” on page v and follow all safety precautions when working with batteries.
To charge your batteries:
1. If possible, disconnect all loads from the batter y, by opening a disconnect switch, or by switching the loads off.
2. Ventilate the are a aro und the battery thoroughly. Review the charging instructions supplied by the manufacturer of your batteries and take any steps required.
3. Apply AC power to the XC Series by closing the AC breaker and/or applying shorepower or turning the gener ator on. The indicator ligh ts will blink as an initiali zation sequence runs, lasting typically 10 seconds. After initial ization the charging indicator light illum inates. During charging, the charging current indicator lights show the total current being delivere d to the sele cted battery bank as well as any DC load applied.
4. Re-connect all loads to the battery, by closing a disconnect switch, or by switching the loads on.

W ARNING: Explosion hazard
During equalization, the battery generates explosive gases. Follow all the battery safety precautions listed in this guide. Ventilate the area around the battery thoro ughly and ensure that t h ere are no sources of flame or spar k s in the vicini ty
CAUTION: Risk of battery damage
The XC Series cannot automatic ally determine when to stop the equalization of a battery. You must monitor the battery speci fic gravity thr oughout equalization to determine the end of the equaliz e cyc le. The one hour time-out is intended as a safety feature to require the user to continually re-activate it as necessary after checking batteries manually, but may not be sufficiently short to prevent battery damage.

Performing An Equalizati on
Turn off or disconnect all DC loads on the batter y during equalization. The volta ge applied to the batte ry during equalization may be above the safe le vels for some loads.
To equalize your batteries:
1. Check the batter y elec trolyte level. If necessary, refill with distill ed water only.
All the cells should have similar electrolyte leve ls. If the levels are widely diffe rent, it will influence the relative concentration of acid, thereby affecting the specific gravity measurements.
2. Verify that all banks are in either float or rest mode.

Care and Mai n ten ance
WARNING: Risk of electric shock
The XC Series contains no user serviceable components. Attempti ng any kind of service will void your warr anty. Contact your de aler or the manufacturer for service information.
The XC Series contains solid-sta te electronic components tha t require no maintenance. The best care you can give the unit is to protect it from contact with liquids, spray, or fumes which may cause corrosion. Disconnect all AC and DC power and clean the outside of the case and wiring with a damp cloth if you suspect it has come in contact with batte ry fluid, salt water, gasoline or oil, or other corrosive mate rial. Periodic ally, check all DC a nd AC wiring co nnecti ons to be s ure they have not loosened or deteriorated. Also check all cable clamps to ensure they are tightly fas tened.
Loose battery te rminals and lugs e xposed to open ai r corr ode rapidly. The corrosion appears as a white powde r or granular foam on the terminals and any nearby exposed metal parts . If it contacts your skin, it will cause burns unless you rinse it off immediately. Most textiles that a re exposed to this corrosive eventually dissolve.
To clean battery terminals:
1. Disconnect all loa ds and charging sources.
2. Using the appropria te tool, remove the negati ve battery cable first and re-insta ll it la s t.
3. To remove any stubborn residue, sprinkle baking soda directly on the area, scrub with a wet toothbru sh (or other soft-bristle brush), add water as required, and then rinse.
CAUT ION
Take care not to allow any washing solution to enter the battery filling c aps in the ca se of a flooded battery, as any contamination into a cell will chemically damage it.
4. Reconnect the batt ery cable terminals to the battery lugs and tighten.
5. After tightening the cables, evenly coat all the expo sed metal surfaces of the battery termina ls and lugs with liquid neoprene. If liquid neoprene is not available, use a light coati ng of a nti-cor rosion grease or o ther sealant . Do not le t anything come between the mating sur faces of the lugs and terminals.
