Faults Display & Reset Button

Faults Display & Reset Button

Fault LED This LED flashes on-and-off during an error condition from which the unit will automatically recover and restart when the condition is remedied. The FAULT LED will

be lighted steadily when any error occurs from which the inverter/charger cannot automatically recover. It is usually necessary to disconnect the AC or DC supply to recover from this type of error. An error condition is accompanied by an

audible alarm if the alarm is enabled. All error messages, their meanings, and the appropriate action to take are listed in a table in “Appendix C: Troubleshooting”.

Temp LED This LED flashes on-and-off to indicate excessive internal temperature of the Prosine inverter/charger and the unit has shutdown. When the internal temperature of the unit cools sufficiently, the inverter/charger will automatically restart. The audible alarm that accompanies this condition (if enabled) will also be silenced upon auto-restart.

Reset Button The RESET button on the Faults panel has two functions: silencing the audible alarm; and displaying error codes. Pressed and released, it will silence the audible alarm which, if enabled, will sound an irritating intermittent tone anytime an error condition occurs. Pressed and held, the RESET button causes the LCD screen to display error codes.

Inverter Status Indicators and On/Off Button

Invert LED When the green INVERT LED is flashing, shorepower is not present, Load Sense is enabled, and no AC loads exceed the Load Sense threshold. The inverter is not producing AC power from the batteries. When the Invert LED is lighted steadily, shorepower is not present and the inverter is producing AC power from the batteries. The INVERT LED is not lighted when shorepower is present.

Standby LED When the amber LED labeled STANDBY is lighted steadily, shorepower is present and the inverter will pass AC power through to any AC loads that may be present.

If shorepower should fail or be removed while the inverter is in Standby mode, the inverter will automatically begin to produce AC power from the batteries, and the INVERT LED will be lighted.

ON/OFF Button When pressed, this button switches the inverter from On to Standby mode.

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.
