Powersine Combi 1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a SAMLEX Powersine Combi inverter/charger combination. Please read this owner’s manual for information about using the product correctly and safely. Keep this owner’s manual and all other included documentation close to the product for future reference.
Powersine Combi 2. DESCRIPTION The Powersine Combi is an all-in-one combination of a DC to AC true sinewave inverter, an advanced multi-stage battery charger and a high speed AC transfer switch. All this is build into one compact, yet installer friendly enclosure. Besides these three main functions, there are several unique features offered as well.
Powersine Combi 3. CONFIGURING THE POWERSINE COMBI General The Powersine Combi can be configured in two ways. Using the DIP switches located in the connection bay, a small selection of basic settings can be made. In most cases this will be sufficient to quickly setup the unit for typical applications.

Powersine Combi Parameter Low Battery Protect Value Description Enables or disables low battery protection with user programmable shutdown, restart and delay values (standard respectively 10V, 12V and 5 seconds). Turning Low Battery Protect off, results in immediate inverter shutdown when the battery voltage is less than 8.0V. Configurable by DIP switch (DIP 3) and Dashboard Parameter...

Powersine Combi installer can either choose to deactivate the AC transfer switch, or keep it closed and allow it to exceed the AC input current limit value. This value can be set from 1.0A to 16.0A or 2.0A to 30.0A (depending on model) by Dashboard or the optional Universal Remote Control.
Powersine Combi chapters 3.3 and 5.1. Configurable by DIP switch (DIP 5 and 6) and Dashboard Parameter Charge current limit Value 100% Description This parameter sets the maximum charge current in percent. This value can be set from 10% to 100% by Dashboard or the optional Universal Remote Control.

Powersine Combi 4. GENERAL OPERATION Operating the Powersine Combi The main switch on the Powersine Combi has three positions : On, Off and Charger only (see image in chapter 4.2). When switched to On, the Powersine Combi will perform all tasks automatically. It will power up in inverter mode, supplying power to the connected load.

Powersine Combi The frontpanel can be divided into four sections : 1. Dual function level bar. Indicates the percentage of delivered output power in inverter mode (turns red if more than nominal output power is being delivered to the load). In charger mode, this level bar indicates the percentage of delivered charging current.

Powersine Combi Relay 2 on the PSC2000-3500 models will be activated only after the AC supply has become available. In case of battery operation, Relay 2 will deactivate immediately. This can be used to switch less critical AC loads (i.e. electric boiler, aircon) on and off that are allowed to be supplied by the mains or generator only.
Powersine Combi 5. CHARGER OPERATION Charge programs All standard selectable charge programs (using DIP switches 5 and 6), perform a four stage IUoUoP charging process comprising of a “Bulk”, an “Absorption”, a “Float” and a “Pulse” stage. The image below visualizes the four stage charging process : In the Bulk stage, the charger delivers full output current and typically returns approximately 80% of charge back into the battery once the absorption voltage is reached.
Powersine Combi declining battery voltage. At a certain battery voltage level, the charger jumps back to the Bulk stage and will finalize a complete charging process again, once the battery load consumption has dropped below the charger's maximum output current level. The fourth stage called “Pulse”, will perform a short refresh charge of approximately 1 hour each 7 days while the charger operates in the Float stage.

Powersine Combi battery damage. Therefore, equalizing a battery is always a process that must continuously be supervised by the user. Since equalization is only allowed for flooded (wet-) lead acid batteries, the Powersine Combi will only allow this function to be available when the “Flooded” charging program is selected (see chapter 3.3).
