ACS Configuration

ACS Configuration

The ACS Control Panel enables you to configure the Prosine inverter/charger to your particular installation. All of the ACS Control Panel menus (except Version Information) contain one or more configurable parameters. Each configuration parameter is discussed in the appropriate menu section that follows.

User Configuration Items

CAUTION Do not change the configuration of your Prosine if you are uncertain of your changes. If you are uncertain of the effects of your changes, read the entire manual, then consult a qualified installer or call Xantrex Customer Assistance.

For User Configuration items, press ENTER to select the parameter you want to change, and then an arrow key to change the value. Set the value by pressing ENTER.

Installer Configuration Items

WARNING Risk of battery damage and fire or explosion: An “installer settable” configuration item is meant to be configured by a professional installer who is familiar not only with the system settings of the inverter, but also the ramifications of changing those system settings. Setting these parameters incorrectly can cause damage to your equipment or severely affect the performance of your system.

To enter Installer Mode:

1.Scroll the display until the parameter to be changed is visible.

2.Press and hold down the ESCAPE and DOWN ARROW keys until the panel beeps.

3.Press ENTER.

4.Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to change the parameter as appropriate.

5.To store the change, press ENTER.

After a change is stored, the inverter/charger will remain in Installer Mode. To change additional parameters, select the parameter and repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.

To exit Installer Mode:

Press the ESCAPE key repeatedly until you reach the main menu.

If you want to change another installer-settable parameter after reaching the main menu, follow the keypress sequence (steps 1, 2 and 3) to enter Installer Mode again.

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.
