Functions of the PROsine 2.5 Inverter/Charger:
Inverter
Function:
When the PROsine 2.5 Inverter/Charger is in inverter mode, it draws
power from a battery and delivers a true sine wave AC output that is the
same as or better than the waveform supplied by your local electric
utility. In some cases, the PROsine 2.5 Inverter/Charger can deliver an
even more stable waveform than your utility-supplied power due to the
extensive control circuitry incorporated in the design of the
unit.
Charger
Function:
The"smart" charging capability of the PROsine 2.5 Inverter/Charger
provides a multi-stage charge to quickly bring back deep-cycle batteries
to their full charge. Using microprocessor control, the PROsine 2.5
Inverter/Charger precisely regulates the voltage and current delivered
to the battery, accurately charging the battery without risk of
overcharging and battery damage. Depleted batteries are taken through
the recommended "Bulk", "Absorption", and "Float" stages and a manually
set "Equalize" stage is available to bring flooded batteries up to their
peak capacity. The charging algorithm used in the PROsine 2.5
Inverter/Charger is based on the same charge cycle algorithm used in
Statpower's proven TRUECHARGE battery charger
line.
Automatic Transfer
Switch:
An integral 30 amp rated relay has two functions. When utility AC
power fails or is disconnected from the unit, a quick 20 millisecond
(maximum) transfer takes place (16 ms typically) and the PROsine 2.5
Inverter/Charger begins inverting, delivering AC power to the loads.
When utility AC becomes present again, the control circuit waits for 8
seconds, during which time the unit verifies the stability of the AC
source and synchronizes the inverter to the AC source for a smooth,
seamless transfer. Battery charging will begin and AC is also fed
through the unit to power the AC loads.
Remote Control
Panel:
The Control Panel provides basic control and display information, so
you can monitor the status of the PROsine 2.5 Inverter/Charger unit and
your electrical system. The standard Remote Control Panel is included with
the PROsine 2.5 Inverter/Charger unit. There's no need to pay extra for
remote monitoring and control.
An optional Advanced
Control System (ACS) panel is available for the PROsine 2.5. Call
Statpower for more information on this option.
PROsine 2.5 Product Features:
- True Sine Wave Output
(<5%THD):
A smooth, step-free waveform delivering
dependable and reliable electrical power for even the most demanding
and sensitive of loads.
-
- Super-Quick
Transfer:
A maximum detect and transfer time of 20
milliseconds (16 ms typically) ensures critical loads stay powered up
when AC power drops away.
-
- Multi-Stage
Charger:
Can be set for either gel or flooded batteries
and delivers 100 amps of charging current for quick, accurate battery
charging.
-
- 99% Charger Power
Factor Rating:
Allows operation from smaller generators,
as the full 100 amps of charging current requires only 15 Amps of AC
input power.
-
- Full Range
Operation:
Battery banks are often well below the ideal
"normal" 12 Volts. To compensate for that fact, the PROsine 2.5
Inverter/Charger delivers its rated 2500 Watts continuous right down
to 10 Volts input.
-
- High Frequency
Switching Technology:
Results in a lighter weight and compact design
for ease of installation. Actual product weight - a remarkable 32
lbs.!
- Protections
- Over-temperature shutdown, Auto overload protection, Battery reverse polarity.
