are not fully charged) or right away if fully charged. When equalization
has been requested, the CHARGING LED is on and the EQUALIZE LED
is flashing. When the system is in equalization, CHARGING is on and
EQUALIZE is on.
4. During equalization, measure the S.G.
When all cells have an S.G. of approximately 1.265, terminate the charge
by setting the CHARGER switch to DISABLE. As a safety feature, the
PROsine will exit Equalize mode after a specified period (depending on
battery type). If the S.G. is still rising just before the charger exits
equalization, restart the process by requesting an equalization charge.
5. When equalization is finished, check the battery electrolyte level. Top up
as necessary with distilled water only.
Operating Limits for Charger Operation
Output Current: The maximum output current for the PROsine 2.0 is 100
amps. You can reduce the total output if you change the Battery Size setting
on the Configure Battery menu (see page 52) or the maximum AC Breaker
Size setting on the Configure PROsine—General menu (see page 47).
Input Voltage: The charger can operate over the range of 90–135Vac. This
wide range allows the PROsine to deliver a maximum current to your batteries
even when incoming AC voltage is less than ideal. A built-in surge protector
protects the inverter•charger from surges and spikes on the AC power line.
Power Share
The PROsine 2.0 shares power with AC loads. It senses pass-through current
going to AC loads and subtracts this current from 80% of the breaker setting.
The current that is left over is available for charging the batteries.
In Charge mode, the inverter•charger operates from a breaker-protected
120Vac circuit. Therefore the total power for AC loads and charger operation
is limited to 80% of the breaker rating (80% is the regulatory maximum
permitted for continuous loads). In this limited power environment, the
PROsine 2.0 gives priority to user-connected AC loads (pass-through current).
Example
A 30 amp circuit breaker is allowed to have a 24 amp continuous load.
If you have AC loads of 15 amps, the PROsine will give priority to your loads
and allow the charger to draw up to 9 amps AC.
