Mounting to the Side of the Battery Case

Section 4: Inverter/Charger Installation

7.Check that the sensor and all wires are fastened securely.

8.Turn the battery switch on again (if you opened it in step 2).

9.Route the sensor cable to the inverter/charger and plug it into the BATTERY TEMP jack. Secure the cable along its length.

NOTE

In this procedure, you must install the DCcable on the battery terminal first. Then the sensor is installed on top of the DC cable. This sequence is required to provide the best connection to the battery and to thereby ensure correct performance of the sensor.

To mount the sensor on the battery case

See Figure 6.

Adhesive backing allows

for easy mounting on side

of battery.

Figure 6. BTS Attached to Battery Case

1.Select the battery to be monitored (see step 1 in the preceding procedure).

2.Select a side suitable for attaching the sensor.

The surface where the sensor is to be mounted must be flat and free from reinforcing ribs or other raised features. As well, this surface must be in direct internal contact with battery electrolyte, so do not install the sensor on a side near the top of the battery or on the battery’s top surface.

3.Clean the selected area thoroughly to remove any oil or grease that could prevent the sensor from adhering to the battery case, and allow the battery case to dry thoroughly.

4.Peel the protective backing from the self-adhesive strip on the rear of the sensor.

5.Press the sensor firmly against the clean side of the battery to fix it in place.

6.Route the sensor cable to the inverter/charger and plug it into the BATTERY TEMP jack. Secure the cable along its length.

Prosine Installation & Operation Guide

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.
