Xantrex Technology RS2000 manual Battery, AC Input, AC Out

Configuration

Table 3-1 Modes

Mode	Description
Float Charge	The third stage of three-stage battery charging. After
	batteries reach full charge, charging voltage is
	reduced to a lower level to prevent gassing and to
	prolong battery life. This stage is often referred to as a
	maintenance charge. Rather than charging a battery, it
	keeps an already-charged battery from discharging
	while providing load current.
Invert	The RS2000 is converting DC power to AC power.
AC Bypass	AC input from an AC source like the utility grid or
	from a generator is allowed to pass through the unit to
	operate connected AC loads. The charger is not
	enabled but AC is qualified and passed through the
	unit.
Equalize	To improve the life and performance of a non-sealed,
	flooded (or wet) battery, the RS2000’s multi-stage
	charging cycle includes a manual equalize mode that
	can be used if recommended by the battery
	manufacturer.
Load Sense	In order to minimize power draw from the battery, the
	inverter will periodically check if a load is connected
	when the inverter is enabled.

Battery

The second line of the device screen indicates the status of the battery. This line displays the volts (V), current (A) as either (+) positive amps (indicating that the battery is charging) or (–) negative amps (indicating the battery is discharging because you’re inverting) and battery temperature in either °F or °C.

AC Input

When the RS2000 is in charge mode, this line indicates whether you have AC input from the utility grid or from a generator. This line shows the values for current (A), the frequency (Hz), and the AC voltage in (V).

AC Out

This line is displayed when the RS2000 is in invert mode or in AC bypass mode. This line indicates the AC output and shows the values for current (A), the frequency (Hz), and the AC voltage in (V).
