6 conductor modular data communication cable. The unit is supplied with a 25’ long cable with a 6-pin RJ-11 connector at each end. Early production TSR-1 Remotes, used with earlier model Vanner inverter/chargers, are identical to the TSR-2 but will need the software upgraded to A88769-A to access the GenStart and other new features in the TruSine 4500 Inverter/Charger.
3.2 Adjustable Factory Setpoints for the TruSine 4500 The following chart lists the Factory Setpoints for all System functions which may be adjusted, Enabled/Disabled, or turned ON/OFF using the optional TSR-2 Remote Control.

TSR-2 Remote Control The TSR-2 Remote uses a menu approach to select desired system functions. When menu command messages are shown on the display, the operator may select the desired function by pressing the corresponding control button. Press the ESC (Escape) button at any time to step back one level. Press the MENU button at any time to return to the Main Menu.
TSR-1 Remote Control the charger. Changes to other system functions or setpoints will not go into effect until the system is reset. Reset the system by turning the System ON/OFF Switch, located on the front of the inverter, OFF for 5 seconds and then back ON.

AC input and AC output connections. NOTE The AC output voltage and the required Aux AC input voltage of Model TSC24-4500 is 120 VAC, 60Hz. The AC output voltage and the required Aux AC input voltage of Model TSC24-4500D is 120/240 VAC, 60Hz, single phase, 3 wire.
Front Panel Wiring Identification 4.8 System ON/OFF Switch Use this rocker switch to turn the system ON and OFF and to reset the system. The System ON/OFF Switch does not interrupt Aux AC input power or DC input power to the system. 4.9 Remote Signal Contacts Three sets of contacts provide signals (continuity) for Remote Inverter ON/OFF indication, Remote Low Battery Warning indication and Gen Start control.

The inverter’s DC cable terminal lugs can accommodate cable sizes up to 250 MCM. TruSine 4500 DC Cable and Fuse Sizing Chart TSC24-4500 and TSC24-4500D Model Number Distance from battery to inverter in feet (Length of cable is 2 times the distance.)
#6 AWG wire. Model TSC24-4500 – The 37.5 amp at 120 volt (4500 watt) inverter output capability requires #8 AWG wire minimum be used for the AC output. The AC transfer switch is rated 30 amps at 120 volts.
Installation input/output terminal strip. Identify the lower terminals labeled “AC Output”. Insert the field wires through the lower strain relief into the AC wiring compartment. Tighten the strain relief. Connect the field wires to the proper AC output terminals. Step 2: Connect AC Input.
Installation A) Discharge the battery by placing the AC load on the system and operating the inverter, (remove shore power input). B) When the battery charge level is low, the inverter will turn off. C) Apply shore power and observe the battery charger operation. Connect an ammeter to the DC cables between the inverter and the battery to monitor the current (DC amps), and a volt meter to the battery to monitor the battery voltage.
Keep in mind that if information in this manual directly conflicts with instructions from a specific battery or other equipment manufacturer, Vanner recommends that those manufacturer's recommendations be followed.
General Information 6.4 Battery Terminology and Ratings Batteries used for automotive applications generally are lead-acid storage batteries. They can be separated into two categories according to their use: engine cranking batteries and deep cycle batteries. The engine cranking battery is specifically designed to supply hundreds of amps for a short period of time to start an engine.
General Information of the battery bank is the sum of the voltage of each battery in the bank. For example, most large custom coaches require a 24 volt battery to crank the large diesel engine. The 24 volts is usually provided by connecting two 12 volt batteries in series, and sometimes by connecting four 6 volt batteries in series.
6.7 Battery Charging Guidelines CAUTION The following information on battery charger setup adjustments should be used as guidelines only. Vanner strongly recommends that you contact the manufacturer of your batteries to obtain the specific charging setup values for the type and model of battery you are using. This is due to the fact that battery charging parameters such as bulk, absorption, float and equalize voltages vary from one manufacturer to another, and that gel cell batteries have different parameters than wet lead acid batteries.
