System Features and Specifications Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Vanner TruSine inverter system. We are confident that you will be satisfied with its performance and its many features. With proper installation and care, you can look forward to years of service from this high performance product. This document will describe the operation, technical specifications and installation procedures for the TruSine Inverter/Charger System.
System Features and Specificatiions • Battery Charger with Automatic Power Management A high efficiency 100 amp multi-stage battery charger allows fully automatic charging of flooded and gel lead acid battery banks. The efficient 0.85PF, compared to typical 0.59PF on triac type chargers, allows full charger output from a 30 amp aux AC source. The system’s Bulk - Absorption - Float charge cycle quickly charges and maintains the charge on the battery bank.

Description of Operation 2 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION 2.1 Inverter The System ON/OFF Switch, located on the front panel, allows the user to turn the system ON and OFF and to reset the system after a fault. The inverter will always begin operation in the large inverter “high power” mode. If the AC load is less than 70 watts the inverter will automatically switch to the “low power” high efficiency small inverter after 5 seconds.
Descriptions of Operation the unit to automatically charge batteries which maintains the battery’s integrity and reduces the likelihood of premature battery failure. The battery charger is designed to be used with lead-acid type batteries including sealed and gel types, but not for nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cad) or nickel-iron types.
Description of Operation Battery Charger Factory Setpoints (Factory Setpoints are for wet batteries, 4 size 8-D minimum.) All Charging Setpoints are Guideline Setpoint Factory Setpoint Typical setpoint Password Protected in the Range (for Wet Battery) for TSR-2 Remote Control Gel Battery Bulk Charge Volts 26.0 - 32.0 28.4 VDC 28.1 VDC Bulk Charge Amps 20% C Rate 0 - 100 100 Amps 20% C Rate Absorption Charge Volts 28.0 - 34.0 30.0 VDC 28.
Descriptions of Operation accept Aux AC input, the batteries will be Bulk charged and the system will switch to inverter again. 2.4 Gen Start The Gen Start feature is designed for use in installations having a generator to provide Aux AC input power for battery charging. The Gen Start feature provides a contact closure to signal the generator to start when battery voltage falls below the ‘Gen Start Volts’ setpoint.
TSR-1 Remote Control 3.2 Adjustable Factory Setpoints for the TruSine 4500 Trans Switch Gen Battery Charger Inverter Basic Control The following chart lists the Factory Setpoints for all System functions which may be adjusted, Enabled/Disabled, or turned ON/OFF using the optional TSR-2 Remote Control.

TSR-2 Remote Control The TSR-2 Remote uses a menu approach to select desired system functions. When menu command messages are shown on the display, the operator may select the desired function by pressing the corresponding control button. Press the ESC (Escape) button at any time to step back one level. Press the MENU button at any time to return to the Main Menu.
TSR-1 Remote Control the charger. Changes to other system functions or setpoints will not go into effect until the system is reset. Reset the system by turning the System ON/OFF Switch, located on the front of the inverter, OFF for 5 seconds and then back ON. When changing setpoint values you must leave that screen before resetting the system. The system also can be reset via the TSR-2. When changing inverter functions, disable/enable the inverter to reset the inverter.

Front Panel Wiring Identification 4.8 System ON/OFF Switch Use this rocker switch to turn the system ON and OFF and to reset the system. The System ON/OFF Switch does not interrupt Aux AC input power or DC input power to the system. 4.9 Remote Signal Contacts Three sets of contacts provide signals (continuity) for Remote Inverter ON/OFF indication, Remote Low Battery Warning indication and Gen Start control. Contacts are rated 2 amps for 12 or 24 volt, Class 2 circuits.
Installation 5. DC power input cables which pass through steel or other ferrous metal walls need to pass through the same hole. If two holes are required, cut a slot connecting the two holes to prevent a transformer effect. 6. Do not allow wire fragments or metal shavings to fall into the DC wiring compartment or to enter the inverter in any way. Severe inverter damage will result which is not covered by the warranty. 7. Do not connect the inverter to the battery at this time.
Installation D) E) F) G) H) I) J) K) Step 7: 5.3 Insert the black, negative (-) cable end through the strain relief and into the negative terminal lug. Be sure that all cable strands are completely in the lug. Insert the Allen screw into the negative terminal block and tighten to 275 inch-pound. Insert the red, positive (+) cable end through the strain relief and into the positive terminal lug. Be sure that all cable strands are completely in the lug.
Installation input/output terminal strip. Identify the lower terminals labeled “AC Output”. Insert the field wires through the lower strain relief into the AC wiring compartment. Tighten the strain relief. Connect the field wires to the proper AC output terminals. Step 2: Connect AC Input. Identify the terminal strip’s upper terminals labeled “AC Input”. Insert the field wires through the upper strain relief into the AC wiring compartment. Tighten the strain relief.
Installation A) Discharge the battery by placing the AC load on the system and operating the inverter, (remove shore power input). B) When the battery charge level is low, the inverter will turn off. C) Apply shore power and observe the battery charger operation. Connect an ammeter to the DC cables between the inverter and the battery to monitor the current (DC amps), and a volt meter to the battery to monitor the battery voltage.
General Information are obtained by multiplying volts times amps produced or used by a device To properly determine an inverter size (in watts) for your application decide which AC loads you plan to operate. Inverter size is the sum of the wattages of the AC loads that you wish to run at the same time, plus a safety factor, say 10 to 20 percent. Continuous Output Power - Continuous power is defined as the AC power in watts (or voltamps) an inverter can produce on a continuous basis.
General Information 6.4 Battery Terminology and Ratings Batteries used for automotive applications generally are lead-acid storage batteries. They can be separated into two categories according to their use: engine cranking batteries and deep cycle batteries. The engine cranking battery is specifically designed to supply hundreds of amps for a short period of time to start an engine.
General Information of the battery bank is the sum of the voltage of each battery in the bank. For example, most large custom coaches require a 24 volt battery to crank the large diesel engine. The 24 volts is usually provided by connecting two 12 volt batteries in series, and sometimes by connecting four 6 volt batteries in series. The ratings of the series connected battery bank remain the same as the individual battery's rating.
General Information and the dual battery systems. In the single battery system, there is one battery which is shared for starting the engine and operating the inverter. This is a common practice in a service vehicle where the engine runs all the time and allows the alternator to provide continuous charging for the battery. In this case, the inverter can be connected directly to the engine cranking battery. The most important detail of this system is the alternator output rating.
