AC to pass through to your loads and automatically begins to recharge the batteries. Reliable Back-up If utility-supplied power fails, the PROsine 2.0 automatically detects the failure and instantly becomes an independent power source that supplies quality AC to your loads. There’s no interruption in service and no degradation in performance.
ANUAL The Heart of a Sophisticated, Independent Power System . . . Your PROsine 2.0 Inverter•Charger has been designed to be the heart of a sophisticated, independent power system. While the inverter•charger is an extremely “friendly” product to operate, Xantrex wants to ensure that you get the best performance from your system.
Every battery has a unique charge formula (or “algorithm”) dictated by the manufacturer for optimal performance. The PROsine 2.0 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.
❐ The PROsine 2.0 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.
Page 31
ECTION NTRODUCTION Auto Restart After Errors The PROsine 2.0 protects itself against numerous conditions (e.g. AC overload or over temperature) by shutting down. You can program the inverter•charger to restart automatically when the cause of the shutdown has corrected itself.

Temperature Compensation Optimal battery charging voltage is temperature dependent. As the ambient temperature falls, the proper voltage for each charge stage needs to be increased. The Prosine 2.0 battery temperature sensor automatically re-scales charge-voltage settings to compensate for ambient temperatures.
2.0 I •C ’ SINE NVERTER HARGER ANUAL Battery Types For the purpose of this discussion, there are two principal battery types: starting and deep-cycle. There are several different types of battery chemistries including flooded and gel lead-acid, nickel-iron (NiFe), nickel- cadmium (NiCad), alkaline, and gel-cell.
PPENDIX ATTERIES Some systems use the L16 type of battery. These are 6-volt batteries rated at 350Ah and are available from a number of manufacturers. They are 17 inches (43cm) high and weigh up to 130 pounds (60kg) each—which may be troublesome in some installations.
2.0 I •C ’ SINE NVERTER HARGER ANUAL Enclosures Batteries must be protected inside a ventilated enclosure. The enclosure should be ventilated to the outdoors from the highest point to prevent the accumulation of hydrogen gases released in the charging process. An air intake should also be provided at a low point in the enclosure to allow air to enter the enclosure to promote good ventilation.
PPENDIX ATTERIES Battery Bank Sizing Just as important as the type of battery selected for use with your PROsine Inverter•Charger is the battery size or capacity. The batteries are the most important part of your system, so Xantrex recommends that you purchase as much battery capacity as possible.
2.0 I •C ’ SINE NVERTER HARGER ANUAL Estimating Battery Requirements To determine the proper battery bank size, you need to compute the number of amp-hours that will be used between charging cycles. When the required amp- hours are known, size the batteries at approximately twice this amount. Doubling the expected amp-hour usage ensures that the batteries will not be overly discharged and extends battery life.
PPENDIX ATTERIES Battery Bank Sizing Example The following battery sizing example illustrates a typical calculation, assuming an opportunity to charge the batteries every three days: Table 11 Battery Sizing Example Daily watt- hours needed for this (A) Power (B) Operating Time appliance Appliance Consumption...

PPENDIX ATTERIES Monthly Battery Maintenance WARNING Wear appropriate eye protection and rubber gloves when carrying out maintenance activities. WARNING Use caution when working with metal tools around batteries. Do not allow any metal object to contact both battery terminals at the same time. Battery explosion or failure can occur.

PPENDIX ATTERIES acid. If it contacts your skin, it will cause burns unless you rinse it off immediately. Most textiles that are exposed to this corrosive eventually dissolve. The most common cause of battery system failure is loose or corroded battery terminals and cable lugs.
2.0 I •C ’ SINE NVERTER HARGER ANUAL Cabling & Hook-up Configurations Several smaller batteries can be connected to create a battery bank of substantial size. You can connect batteries in three ways: in parallel, series, or series–parallel (“cross-tied”). To make a larger battery bank, connect individual batteries with heavy cables. The actual size of the cable depends on whether the batteries are connected in parallel or series.
PPENDIX ATTERIES Series Connection When batteries are connected with the positive terminal of one to the negative terminal of the next, they are connected in series. In a series configuration, the battery bank has the same Ah rating of a single battery, but an overall voltage equal to the sum of the individual batteries.
2.0 I •C ’ SINE NVERTER HARGER ANUAL Series–Parallel and “Cross-Tied” Connections As the name series–parallel implies, both the series and parallel techniques are used in combination. The result is an increase in both the voltage and the capacity of the total battery bank. Cross-tying is used frequently to make a larger, higher voltage battery bank out of several smaller, lower voltage batteries.
Appendix D Battery Charging Reference This appendix provides information about the following aspects of battery charging: • Three-stage charging. (See page 120.) • Two-stage charging. (See page 122.) • Charging times. (See page 123.) • Charging algorithms and charge types. (See Table 14 on page 125 Table 15 on page 126.)
Three-Stage Charging Profile Modern lead-acid batteries last longer and charge faster if they are charged in a particular sequence known as a three-stage charge. The PROsine 2.0 Inverter•Charger implements the three-stage charging process, plus a user- triggered equalization charge. The charging current and voltage delivered to the battery vary depending on: •...
PPENDIX ATTERY HARGING EFERENCE Bulk Charge In the first stage, known as the bulk charge, the PROsine Inverter•Charger delivers the maximum current allowable given the settings noted above: that is, battery type and temperature, maximum AC input setting, and battery bank size.
In a two-step charge, the charger finishes Absorption but does not go to Float mode because some battery manufacturers advise against floating their batteries. The PROsine 2.0 goes into a monitoring mode instead where the inverter•charger monitors the batteries but does not charge or float them. In this mode, the PROsine 2.0 will not supply current to power loads.
PPENDIX ATTERY HARGING EFERENCE Battery Charging Times Charging time depends on the capacity of your battery bank and on how deeply it is discharged. The following equation gives an approximate charging time: Charging Time = CAP x DOD CC x 80 where: Charging Time = Battery recharge time in hours CAP = Battery capacity in amp hours...
