  • Page 19: Introduction

    Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the MS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/ Charger. The MS2000 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 MS2000.

  • Page 20: About The Ms2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger

    Echo Charger in one electronic device. • 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 grid (power company).

  • Page 21: How Ms2000 Works

    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 MS2000 begins converting DC power from the batteries into AC power, with no interruption in power supplied to the AC loads.
  • Page 22 Minimizing the AC current used by the charger 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.

  • Page 23: Xanbus System

    Xanbus System Xanbus is a network communications protocol, developed by Xantrex. In a Xanbus® system, the MS2000 is the device that typically provides network power—800 mA at 15 volts DC. All of the Xanbus-enabled devices, such as the MS2000, the System Control Panel (SCP), and the Automatic Generator Start (AGS) are able to communicate their settings and activity to each other.

    After power is restored, you don’t have to reconfigure the SCP or any of the Xanbus-enabled devices connected to it. This section provides information on operating the MS2000 with the System Control Panel. Please refer to the System Control Panel Owner’s Guide for complete information on using the System Control Panel.

  • Page 33: Using The System Control Panel

    Description AC In/Charge light indicates that qualified AC is present at the input of the inverter/charger. When the MS2000 is connected to a qualified AC source like the utility grid or a generator, this light on the System Control Panel illuminates.

  • Page 34: On Start Up

    Feature On Start Up When the MS2000 is powered up or comes out of a reset state, all of the front panel lights illuminate and remain on for a minimum of five seconds. After five seconds, the lights remain illuminated until the front panel has status information for all the lights.

  • Page 35: System Start-Up Check

    1. If the inverter is enabled, press the Inverter Enable button on the unit to disable the inverter function. The Inverter On light is not illuminated. 2. Apply qualified AC power to the MS2000 input. After a brief delay, the External AC light should illuminate and AC loads on the output should operate.

  • Page 36: System Modes

    This section provides an overview of the four different system modes. The system modes described in this section affect the performance and behavior of the MS2000 and all other Xanbus-enabled devices on the Xanbus system. You’ll have to change the system mode when putting your boat in storage, or when installing a Xanbus-enabled device.

  • Page 37: Operate Mode

    Operate Mode Characteristics In Operate mode, all communications are enabled on the Xanbus system. All power conversion functions are enabled. Each Xanbus-enabled device is monitoring and communicating its input. The basic state of the System Control Panel is Operate mode. In Operate mode, the System Control Panel communicates with other Xanbus-enabled devices and displays all the network information which it is configured to display.

  • Page 38: Safe Mode

    However, the ouptut power of all Xanbus-enabled devices 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.

  • Page 39: Putting The System Into Safe Mode

    Putting the System into Safe Mode When you are installing or removing devices from the Xanbus system, putting the system into Safe mode prevents unexpected behavior. To enter Safe mode: 1. On the Select Device menu, use the down arrow button to highlight System. The cursor on the right of the screen indicates where you are in the menu.

  • Page 40: Hibernate Mode

    Hibernate mode removes network power from the System Control Panel and all Xanbus-enabled devices on the Xanbus system. All operations are suspended (including starting and stopping the generator) until power is restored to the network. All Xanbus-enabled devices other than the MS2000 have no network power. When to use...

    2. If external AC is present, the External AC light illuminates. If AC is present 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 power to the loads.

  • Page 43: 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.

  • Page 44: Operating In Charger Mode

    You can interrupt the charge cycle any time you desire by disabling the charger from the System Control Panel or by pressing the Charger 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 cycle may be required on the house battery only.

    Specifications Invert Power Derating vs Ambient Temperature The inverter/charger delivers up to 2000 watts continuous of sine wave output to 50 °C ambient temperature and 1500 watts continuous of sine wave output to 60 °C ambient temperature, derated linearly from 50 °C to 60 °C. If the unit is in elevated ambient temperature above 50 °C, you are required to reduce power draw according to the Figure A-1 to avoid over-temperature shutdown.

    WARNING: Risk of battery damage Since the MS2000 has only one battery type setting for all batteries connected to its bank, do not mix battery types. All connected batteries should be of one kind: Flooded (or wet) or Gel or AGM or Custom.

  • Page 107: Bulk Charge

    Summary” on page B–6. Absorption Charge During the first part of absorption charge, the MS2000 delivers its full rated output current until the absorption voltage is reached. At this point, the MS2000 will transition to a constant voltage mode by keeping the charge voltage constant at the absorption voltage level, and the battery gradually reduces the charging current it demands as the battery attains full charge.

  • Page 108: Equalization Charge

    If the two-stage charge is enabled, the charger finishes the absorption charge but does not go to float mode because some battery manufacturers advise against floating their batteries. The MS2000 goes into a monitoring mode instead where the charger monitors the batteries but does not float them.

    When a function is enabled, it is allowed to occur but other conditions may have to be met before the function is activated or turned on. For example, the charger function on the MS2000 may be enabled, but it will not charge unless qualified AC power is present.

Typically, Engine Battery this will be an engine starting battery or an auxiliary battery for loads other than the inverter. Float Charge The third stage of three-stage battery charging. After batteries reach full charge, charging voltage is reduced to a lower level to prevent gassing and to prolong battery life.
  • Page 114 Terminology The standard waveform of electric utility AC power. A sine wave is a rounded, Sine Wave smooth waveform alternating above and below zero volts. The amount of current an inverter can deliver for short periods of time. Most electric Surge Capacity motors draw up to six to ten times their rated current when starting.
