Rack Mount Frame Assembly and Installation Load Connection WARNING Exercise caution when making connections to a rack in an existing installation. Ensure all input and output breakers are de-energized and that adjacent racks are also powered down. 1. If necessary, remove the output cover by loosening the two securing nuts.
User Line Connection Overview The User-line interface provides basic remote control and monitoring on the Inverter using TTL logic signals. The available signals are an Inverter on/off input, fault and Inverter-on flags as well as a configurable auxiliary line. The aux output can only be configured when the Ethernet option card is installed.
Rack Mount Frame Assembly and Installation User Line Connector The user-line is a 6-position wire clamp connector adjacent to the DC input connector. Table 2-1 lists user functions and associated terminal numbers. User Line Wiring Use twisted pairs of 22-24 AWG for connections. Before making any connections, ensure power to the rack has been disconnected.
CAN/SYNC Connector Overview The CAN/SYNC connector provides access to functions necessary for operation of multiple units in parallel, series or three phase. The connector is a 7-position wire clamp adjacent to the user-line. Two sets of signals are provided on this connector: •...
Rack Mount Frame Assembly and Installation CAN/SYNC Wiring Due to high bus speed, use shielded twisted pairs of 22-24 AWG for improved noise immunity. Before making any connections, ensure power to the rack has been disconnected. Carefully route the wires away from high power load cables to minimize noise effects on signal integrity.
Connection Schemes CAUTION Before attempting any connections, ensure power to rack is off by de-energizing input and output circuit breakers. This section covers the realization of different output configurations available with this product line. Stand-Alone Operation A 120 Ohm resistor should be connected across the CAN-hi and CAN-lo terminals to properly terminate the bus.
Rack Mount Frame Assembly and Installation Figure 2-8 Parallel Operation • The AC output load wires are also connected in parallel ensuring only like terminals L1 and L2 are connected together at the distribution bus or load. Each inverter output should be in series with a suitably rated two pole circuit breaker before being terminated at the load.
Split Phase Operation Use this scheme to extend the output voltage. No more than two units should be connected in series though more can be added in parallel with either series unit. To connect two units for split voltage, proceed as follows: •...
Rack Mount Frame Assembly and Installation Three Phase Operation Overview XDI inverters can be configured for 3-phase operation where necessary. Synchronizing signals are used to achieve this functionality, precisely phase locking the units at 120 phase displacement. For single units this results in a 6kVA 3-phase source but up to 2 more units can be added to each phase to increase capacity.
3-Phase Synchronization and Signal Wiring Figure 2-10 3-Phase Sync Connection Refer to Table 2-2 for the signal pinouts. To achieve proper three-phase output, units configured for each phase need to be wired to the appropriate phase. Extra care should be exercised when multiple paralleled units are also wired for 3-phase operation.

Inverter Module Installation and Operation Operation of Inverter Module Theory of Operation The XDI is a digitally controlled power converter. It provides galvanic isolation from the DC input to the AC output. The isolation stage is a resonant full-bridge converter and the inversion stage is a highly efficient class D amplifier (patent pending).
Standby Mode This low power state allows your inverter to recommence operation quickly but conserves power in the meantime. In this mode the output to your inverter remains OFF and the green “Standby/ON” LED (see Figure 3-2) on the front panel flashes. The “Standby” mode can be initiated via the user interface lines (see Figure 2-3) or via an optional Ethernet connection.

Protections and Alarms Overview The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) in the inverter continuously monitors a number of parameters for purposes of protecting the power source, load, inverter and user from hazardous conditions. Fuses on the DC input and AC output provide additional hardware fault protection. An alarm is triggered whenever a fault is detected.
Inverter Module Installation and Operation Overload Protection The inverter will deliver the rated load power continuously at the rated ambient temperature. It will also reliably operate up to 1600 Watts without further restriction on the maximum ambient temperature. The internal temperatures of critical components monitored by the DSP will determine operating time at this overload range.
Over Temperature Protection (OTP) This feature protects critical components from failure due to temperature stress should a fan fail or the ambient temperature or internal temperature exceed acceptable levels. This module also controls the fans, turning them on when internal temperatures exceed 35°C and increasing fan speed in proportion to increase in temperature.
(fuses F2 and F3). The fuse ratings are model dependant and as follows: XDI2048 120 V output: 20 A 250 V XDI2048 230 V output: 12 A 250 V Grounding studs are provided adjacent to the DC input and AC output ports.
To Clear an Alarm Depending on the cause of the alarm, the alarm may be cleared automatically as soon as the fault condition has elapsed. In some cases, the alarm is cleared by: • cycling the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel, •...
