Introduction
How RS2000 Works
The RS2000 is designed to:
•invert
•charge
With AC input available from the utility grid or a generator, power is passed through the RS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger to operate connected AC loads. The remaining AC power not used by loads is converted to DC power and used to charge batteries.
If AC input power becomes disconnected, fails, or falls out of specification and is no longer qualified as good AC, a quick transfer takes place and the RS2000 begins converting DC power from the batteries into AC power, with no interruption in power supplied to the AC loads.
Inverting
The RS2000’s inverting function:
•produces 120 volts AC from your batteries
•delivers 2000 watts of power on a continuous basis and 5000 watts of surge power to start loads like pumps and refrigerators.
To prevent power being drawn needlessly from the batteries, Xantrex® has included the load sensing feature.
Load Sense Mode To reduce battery draw, you can turn on Load Sense Mode with the System Control Panel. In Load Sense Mode, the inverter/ charger periodically sends out a search pulse to see whether a load is present. If it finds a load, the inverter/charger will turn on. You can adjust the interval between load sense pulses, and you can also adjust the load power at which the inverter will turn on. If no load is found, then the inverter will continue in load sense mode, which reduces the inverter draw from the battery to a minimum.
In Load Sense mode, there’s a short
Charging
The RS2000’s charging function:
•produces 100 amps to charge your batteries
•equalizes flooded, lead acid batteries
