Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual Personal Precautions 1. Someone should be within range of your voice to come to your aid when you work near batteries. 2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. 3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries. Wash your hands when done. 4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid ente

Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual Theory of Inverter Operation Waveform The output waveform of the inverter is referred to as a modified sine wave. This waveform is suitable for a wide variety of applications—induction motors (such as in refrigerators and drill presses), resistive loads (such as heaters and toasters), universal motors (such as in hand tools and vacuum cleaners) as well as microwave ovens and computers. Comparison of Output Waveforms The waveform could be more acc

Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual Search Sense Mode Using Optional RC7 Remote The SEARCH SENSE menu on the RC7 is used for adjusting the sensitivity of the search mode circuit. The RV inverter’s search sensitivity can only be set using the optional RC7 remote. However, once the mode is set the remote may then be removed and the inverter will retain the settings. The RV Series inverters feature an adjustable search mode circuit. It minimizes power drain by reducing the inverter’s

Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual Battery Charger Theory of Operation Inverter to Charger Transition The internal battery charger and automatic transfer relay allows operation as either a battery charger or inverter (but not both at the same time). An external source of AC power (such as shorepower or a generator) must be supplied to the inverter AC input in order to allow it to operate as a battery charger. The RV series charger will always charge when there is AC power present,

Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual • Temperature Compensation: The optimum voltage is temperature dependent. As temperature decreases the proper voltage for each charge stage needs to be increased. The optional temperature probe will automatically rescale charge voltage settings for ambient temperature. The compensation slope based on cell voltage is -2.17 mV per degree F per cell. Charger Terminology • Bulk Voltage: This is the maximum voltage at which the batteries will be char

Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual Stage Three: Float Voltage T he purpose of stage three is to maintain the batteries at a voltage that will hold full charge but not gas the batteries. The charger remains in the float stage until the AC input is removed. During this stage the status LED will show fast flashing green (four times per second). Note: When DC loads are placed on the battery, the charger will deliver currents up to the Maximum Charge Rate setting while maintaining th

Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual Batteries Batteries come in different sizes, types, chemistries, amp hours, and voltages. There are nearly as many descriptions of how batteries should be used as there are people willing to offer explanations. It is not possible here to discuss all aspects in detail. However, there are basic guidelines you can follow that will help in battery selection and ensure that your batteries are well maintained. Selection of Battery Type Starting Batt

Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual Sealed Gel Cell Another type of battery construction is the sealed gel cell. They don't use battery caps. The electrolyte is in the form of a gel (instead of a liquid) that allows the batteries to be mounted in any position without spilling. The advantages are no maintenance, long life (800 cycles claimed) and low self-discharge. The disadvantage is high initial cost and the possibility of damage from overcharging. While there are many manufact

Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual It is also good to check the battery interconnections for tightness and corrosion. If any corrosion is found, disconnect the cables and carefully clean with a mild solution of baking soda and water. DO NOT ALLOW THE SOLUTION TO ENTER THE BATTERY. Rinse the top of the battery with clean water when finished. To reduce the amount of corrosion on the battery terminals, coat them with a thin layer of petroleum jelly or anti-corrosion grease availa

High battery temperatures will result in short battery life and should be avoided by ventilating the enclosure and reducing the external heat sources by shading and insulation. Battery Cabling Connect the individual batteries together to make a larger battery “bank” with heavy cables. The actual size of the cable depends upon whether the batteries are connected in parallel or series. Generally, the cables should not be smalle

Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual Battery Hookup Configurations Batter y banks of substantial size are generally created by connecting several smaller batteries together. There are three ways to do this. Batteries can be connected in parallel, series, or series- parallel. Parallel Connection Batteries are connected in parallel when all the positive terminals of a group of batteries are connected and then, separately, all the negative terminals are connected. In a parallel conf

Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual Installation Environment Inverters are sophisticated electronic devices and should be treated accordingly. When selecting the operating environment for the inverter, don’t think of it in the same terms as other equipment that works with it, such as batteries, diesel generators, motor generators, washing machines, and so on. It is a highly complex microprocessor-controlled device, similar in nature to stereo equipment, television sets or compute

Xantrex RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual AC Wiring Overview The National Electrical Code (NEC) defines the standards for AC and DC installation wiring in RV applications, but there are still many installation variables. Most are determined by the level of automatic switching desired and the amount of external AC power to be switched. AC Connections Installation should be done by a qualified electrician. Consult local code for the proper wire sizes, connectors and conduit. The AC a
