Battery Status Indicator

Standard LED Control Panel

The Battery Status LED Display includes two vertical series of LEDs that indicate the battery voltage and current. A conversion table enables you to estimate the AC output from the inverter by the DC current.

Battery Voltage Indicator This indicator reports the battery voltage at the input terminals of the Prosine inverter/charger. At low currents, the indicator is very accurate. At high currents, the indicated voltage will be somewhat lower than the actual battery voltage due to voltage drop across the cables between battery and inverter. The range of the battery voltage indicator is from 10.0 to 16.75 volts DC. The LEDs do not light until the voltage level exceeds the value printed alongside the LED.

Battery Current Indicator This indicator reports the current drawn by the Prosine inverter/charger from the batteries. It does not indicate current drawn by other loads connected to the batteries. High current loads (over 200A) are displayed by yellow LEDs. The LEDs do not light until the current level exceeds the value printed alongside the LED.

Error Code Display When an error occurs, either the Warning, the Fault, or the Temp LED will be lighted, as well as one of the Battery Voltage LEDs, and one of the Battery Current LEDs. These three LEDs indicate an error code that you can look up on the Error. Code table in “Appendix C: Troubleshooting” to assist in determining the nature of the error In the example at right, the Warning, 10V, and 100A LEDs are flashing, and the error code indicated is derived from the value shown in parenthesis, in this case: 206. Look in the tables in “Appendix C: Troubleshooting” to determine the meaning of the code.

Faults Indicators & Reset Button

Warning LED This LED flashes on-and-off for the duration of any error condition, accompanied by an audible alarm if the alarm is enabled.

PS3.0, PS2.5 specifications

Xantrex Technology has made significant strides in the power electronics sector with the introduction of their PS2.5 and PS3.0 inverter models. These inverters are designed primarily for solar energy applications, offering reliable and efficient power conversion for residential and commercial solar installations. The PS series stands out in the market due to its advanced features, innovative technologies, and user-friendly characteristics.

One of the main features of the Xantrex PS2.5 and PS3.0 inverters is their high efficiency rating, typically above 97%. This means that a minimal amount of energy is lost during conversion, allowing users to maximize their solar energy utilization. Additionally, these inverters come with a wide input voltage range, making them versatile and capable of handling various solar panel configurations.

Both models are equipped with advanced MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology. This feature optimizes the energy output from solar panels by constantly adjusting the operating point to ensure maximum power is extracted, even in variable weather conditions or partial shading. This capability significantly enhances the overall energy harvest from solar systems.

Another notable characteristic is their compact and lightweight design, which facilitates easy installation and integration into existing systems. The inverters are also designed with robust thermal management solutions, ensuring they operate effectively even in high-temperature environments. This durability extends their lifespan and increases reliability, critical factors for any solar installation.

Xantrex has also prioritized user experience with the PS2.5 and PS3.0 models by providing a built-in monitoring system. Users can access real-time data on energy production, performance metrics, and system status through a user-friendly interface. This connectivity allows for quick troubleshooting and maintenance, thus enhancing the overall efficiency of solar energy systems.

Safety is paramount in the design of these inverters. They meet stringent international safety standards and come equipped with comprehensive protection features, including over-voltage, under-voltage, and short-circuit protection. This ensures the inverter operates safely, protecting both the user and the connected solar array.

In summary, Xantrex Technology's PS2.5 and PS3.0 inverters are engineered with cutting-edge features and technologies that cater to the evolving needs of solar energy users. Their efficiency, adaptability, and focus on safety make them an excellent choice for those looking to invest in renewable energy solutions. As the demand for sustainable energy continues to rise, Xantrex is poised to play a significant role in the market with these innovative inverter solutions.
