Safety
Explosive gas precautions
WARNING: Explosion hazard
1. Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal operation. Therefore, you must read this guide
and follow the instructions exactly before installing or using your PROsine.
2. This equipment contains components which tend to produce arcs or sparks. T o
prevent fire or explosion, do not install the PROsine in compartments
containing batteries or flammable materials, or in locations that require
ignition-protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasolinepowered machinery , fuel tanks, as well as joints, fittings, or ot her connections
between components of the fuel system.
3. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment
in which the battery is installed.
Precautions When Working With Batteries
WARNING: Explosion or fire hazard
1. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the
manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.
4. Use caution to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could
spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an
explosion.
5. Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with
lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short circuit current high
enough to weld metal to skin, causing a severe burn.
6. Have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
when you work near a lead-acid battery.
7. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
8. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your
eyes while working near batteries.
viii 445-0089-01-01
Safety
9. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water
for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.
10. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal from the
battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause a spark.

Introduction
Chapter 1 introduces you to the PROsine, explains the inverting,
changing and power system management functions
Introduction
Your PROsine
Congratulations on your purchase of the PROsine 2.0 Inverter/Charger (PROsine)
As part of the PROsine Inverter/Charger family, the PROsine 2.0 gives you
quality power, worry-free operation, and outstanding reliability. Its integrated
inverting–charging functions and numerous power management features make it
ideal for marine installations, recreational and commercial vehicles, and
residential back-up systems.
Quality Power The PROsine’s true sine wave output is identical to (or better than) the power
supplied by your utility. A few of the benefits of true sine wave power are less
interference on your TV set, more consistent cooking in your microwave, better
handling of sensitive loads, and the ability to use dimmer switches and appliances
with speed controls. In effect, the PROsine gives you a high quality, mobile wall
socket!
Comprehensive
Protection
Reliable Back-up If utility-supplied power fails, the PROsine automatically detects the failure and
The PROsine’ s built-in protection features safeguard your batteries and equipment
to give you worry-free operation:
• The adjustable low battery cutout prevents your batteries from becoming
completely discharged.
•The battery temperature sensor ensures that the charge delivered to the
batteries is adjusted according to their actual temperature.
•The multi-stage charging capability ensures that batteries receive the “best”
charge with minimal wear and tear.
• If the PROsine detects “bad” AC voltage, it switches seamlessly to Invert
mode and supplies your equipment with pure sine wave power derived from
the batteries. When “good” AC becomes available again, the PROsine allows
the AC to pass through to your loads and automatically begins to recharge the
batteries.
instantly becomes an independent power source that supplies quality AC to your
loads. There’s no interruption in service and no de gradation in performance.

The Heart of a Sophisticated, Independent Power System
The Heart of a Sophisticated, Independent Power System
Your PROsine has been designed to be the heart of a sophisticated, independent
power system. While the PROsine is an extremely “friendly” product to operate,
Xantrex wants to ensure that you get the best performance from your system. So
please take a few minutes to read the next few pages: they’ll give you an excellent
understanding of the PROsine’s features and capabilities.
In basic terms, the PROsine is designed to:
p Invert
p Charge
p Manage your power system
Inverting
The PROsine’ s in v ertin g functio n:
p Produces 120Vac from your 12V batteries
p Delivers 2kW of power on a continuous basis and 4.5kW of surge power to
start heavy loads like air conditioners, fridges, and pumps
Low Standby
Battery Demand
Load Sense
(Search) Mode
Much of the time the inverter may not be powering loads. During these times, you
don’t want power to be drawn needlessly from the batteries. T o redu ce idle current
to an absolute minimum, Xantrex has included three features:
p Low standby battery demand
p Load sense (search) mode
p Remote Shutdown
When the PROsine is inverting (producing 120Vac output without a load), it
draws less than 2A of current from the batteries.
To reduce battery draw even further, you can turn on Load Sense mode. In Load
Sense mode, the PROsine periodically sends out a search pulse to see whether a
load is present. If it finds a load, it will turn on. You can adjust the interval
between search pulses, and you can also adjust the load power at which the
PROsine will turn on.
Note that in Load Sense mode, there’s a short time delay (up to the interval you’ve
set) between the time you turn on a load and the time the PROsine delivers power.
Of course, you can disable Load Sense mode at any time if you find the delay
inconvenient.
445-0089-01-01 1–3
Introduction
Remote Shutdown Naturally, when you are not using the PROsine, you will disable the inverter to
conserve your battery. The PROsine still draws up to 50mA of battery current,
however—and this will eventually discharge the battery. So when you don’t need
the PROsine for an extended period of time, you can reduce battery draw to less
than 1mA by setting the PROsine’s ON/OFF/REM switch to OFF.
This disables all circuitry in the PROsine and removes all power from the display
panel. Setting the PROsine’s ON/OFF/REM to REMOTE lets you achieve the
same result using a conveniently located system “kill” switch. This feature is
particularly valuable for vehicles like ambulances where it is imperative that the
system not draw power when the vehicle motor is not running.

Charging
For the inverter to perform at the highest level, the batteries must be charged
correctly. Every battery has a unique charge formula (or “algorithm”) dictated by
the manufacturer for optimal performance. The PROsine has twenty-one built-in
formulas to charge your batteries correctly—and you have the ability to fine tune
these formulas to meet the needs of new models or specialized batteries.
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, but not over charged. For this reason,
Xantrex has included a battery temperature sensor with your PROsine and has
temperature compensated the charge algorithm.
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 nonsealed flooded battery, the PROsine’s multi-stage charging cycle includes a
manual Equalize mode that should be used occasionally to restore an equal
chemical state to all cells.
In addition to the numerous features which let you maximize your battery’s life
and performance, the PROsine—unlike many chargers—also has the ability to
recharge batteries even if the voltage is near zero.

The Heart of a Sophisticated, Independent Power System
Power System Management
As we pointed out at the beginning of this introduction, the PROsine is designed
to be the heart of your power system. In addition to refined charging and inverting
functions, the PROsine is the control center for managing your power system. As
the interface between your batteries, loads, and AC source, the PROsine:
p Takes 12Vdc and produces 120Vac to power your loads
p Takes 120Vac, when available and, via its intelligent, automatic, and fast
Transfer Relay, passes the 120Vac to your loads
p Uses its Power Share capability to tap off power to charge the batteries while
120Vac is being passed to the loads
And finally, the PROsine allows for the expansion of your system to meet
changing power requirements.
Load Management The PROsine has a built-in Transfer Relay that connects AC shorepower or
inverter output to your loads. Because the usual AC power sources (marina and
campground outlets or small generators, for example) often have limited current
availability, having the ability to manage your AC loads is extremely valuable,
and therefore the PROsine provides a number of features to facilitate this:
p The charger is power factor corrected to use AC current as efficiently as
possible and only requires 15 amps to provide rated charger output—some
other chargers require as much as 22 amps to provide the same output.
Minimizing the AC current used by the charger means more current for your
loads.
p The PROsine uses a Power Share feature which senses the AC load on the
system and gives priority to your AC loads, thereby reducing the charger
current to avoid nuisance tripping of the breaker.
p Sometimes the usual AC shorepower 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
(as set by the user).
Expandability As your power needs grow, you can connect two PROsines in series mode to
create a 120/240Vac split phase system which is capable of supplying 4kW
(continuously).
Both of these PROsines can be connected to operate from a single (but larger)
battery bank, and will work in tandem to provide the fastest possible, accurate
charge.

Materials List
Important:
p DC Wiring Enclosure
For residential installations, some installation codes may require a wiring
enclosure for DC connections and cables. (Installation procedures are shipped
with the DC Wiring Enclosure.)
p Crimp-On Ring Terminals (for DC Wiring Enclosure)
If you are using the DC Wiring Enclosure, you should use crimp-on ring
terminals on the PROsine end of your DC cables. Most box connectors (set
screw types) are too large to fit in the enclosure without the risk of the
connector shorting to the wall of the DC Wiring Enclosure. Do not use any
connector that does not provide at least 2mm clearance to the inside wall with
the wire in place and the set screw tightened.
p Series Sync Cable
If you are connecting two PROsine’s in series, you will need a Series Sync
cable. This is a standard 4-connector telephone cable and may be purchased
from most electronics retailers.
Contact Xantrex or your distributor about the Wiring Enclosure. Purchase the
crimp-on ring terminals from a local supplier.
If any of these materials are missing or are unsatisfactory in any manner, please
contact Customer Service. See page WA–1.
