    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.

  • Page 23: 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.

  • Page 24: Charging

    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.

  • Page 25: Power System Management

    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.

  • Page 47 AC shorepower A source of 120 volt, 60Hz alternating current is needed to provide energy for charging batteries and to pass through to AC loads. This source could be the utility grid (power company) or an AC generator. An automatic or manual AC source selector switch can be used to connect one of the multiple sources of shorepower to the PROsine system.

  • Page 48: Table 3-1 Required Ac Wire Size Vs Breaker Rating

    Installation AC Distribution Most systems incorporate distribution centers both ahead of the PROsine (the AC Panels source panel) and between the PROsine and the loads (the AC load panel). A source panel includes a main circuit breaker, which serves as over-current protection and as a disconnect for the AC shorepower supply line.

  • Page 49: Table 3-2 Required Dc Cable And Fuse Size

    DC Cabling This includes all the cables and connectors between the batteries, the DC disconnect and over-current protection device, and the PROsine. All installations require multi-strand insulated cables as well as disconnect and over-current devices. DC cable sizes are indicated by AWG notation or MCM notation. Under the AWG standard, a larger gauge number indicates a smaller wire diameter.

  • Page 50: Table 3-3 Tested Gfci Models

    Installation Installations in marine and recreational vehicles may require GFCI protection of branch circuits connected to the AC output of the PROsine. In addition, electrical codes require GFCI protection of certain receptacles in residential installations. While the true sine wave output of the PROsine is equivalent to the waveform provided by utilities, compliance with UL standards requires that Xantrex test and recommend specific GFCIs.

    Installation AC Input Connections Figure 3-4 is a cutaway top view of the PROsine wiring compartment. It shows one incoming AC cable and its connections to the PROsine wires. To make the AC input connections: 1. Run 10AWG 2-conductor-plus-ground cable through one of the cable clamps on the AC end.

  • Page 55: Step 5: Configuring The Output Neutral Bonding System

    Step 5: Configuring the Output Neutral Bonding System AC Output Neutral-to-Ground Bonding System The PROsine provides an installer-defeatable system that automatically connects the neutral conductor of the inverter AC output circuit to safety ground (“bonding” it) during inverter operation, and disconnects it (“un-bonding” it) when the PROsine has connected to AC shorepower.

  • Page 59: Step 7: Connecting The Dc Cables

    Step 7: Connecting the DC Cables CAUTION Before making the final DC connection, check cable polarity at both the battery and the PROsine. Positive must be connected to positive; negative must be connected to negative. Reversing the positive and negative battery cables will damage the PROsine and void your warranty.
  • Page 60 Installation To make the DC connections Refer to Figure 3-8. 1. Cut the cables to the correct length with enough insulation stripped off so you can properly install the type of terminals you will be using. The terminals on the DC end are designed to fit up to 500MCM crimp-on ring terminals (either AMP or ILSCO) or box connectors.

When all battery banks are located in the same compartment, select the battery that requires the most frequent charging (in a boat or an RV, this is usually the “house” battery). Where a battery is located in a separate compartment from other batteries, and where temperatures are constantly high (as in an engine room), it is a good idea to monitor this battery to keep it from being overcharged as a result of its constant high temperature.

During charging, batteries may generate explosive gasses. Thoroughly ventilate the area around the batteries and ensure that there are no sources of flames or sparks in the vicinity. Study all battery manufacturer’s precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.

  • Page 94: Equalization Procedure

    Operation Important: your batteries. Never equalize a battery more than necessary. Always check electrolyte level before AND after equalization. Fill with distilled water only. Monitor electrolyte specific gravity (S.G.) throughout the equalization phase. Follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for equalizing your batteries. 10 provides some background on different batteries.

  • Page 95: Operating Limits For Charger Operation

    WARNING: Fire hazard In this situation it is very important to check the electrolyte level and S.G. in each cell at least once per hour. The charger should be turned off and the batteries allowed to rest a few minutes to do this check as the electrolyte will be bubbling if the charger is active. If further equalization is needed the equalize cycle may be restarted.

  • Page 99: Shutdown / Restart Without Error Message

    Shutdown / Restart Without Error Message While inverting, the PROsine could shut down for a few seconds and then restart inverting without reporting an error. This has likely been caused by a reset of the internal microprocessor, which was probably caused by a discharged and/or weak battery. In particular, this may occur when the battery is weak and the unit is starting loads which demand a high surge (e.g.
