XP series inverters provide the cleanest, best regulated sine wave
output over the widest DC input of any inverter on the market
today. They are extremely low in Total Distortion; specified to 2%,
and typically better than 1.5%. Total Harmonic Distortion is typically
0.8 to 0.9%. Remaining distortion is a result of residual switching
noise, which amounts to a 25 kHz sine wave superimposed on the
fundamental output. No significant harmonics of 25 kHz exist. This
spectral purity will exist over the inverter's entire operating envelope,
including non-linear and reactive loads. As long as peak output
current remains less than 280% of rated current, total harmonic
distortion will remain within the 2% spec. Peak current capability of
the inverter is key to understanding it's operational envelope. As long
as the inverter is supplying less than this amount, it will function
properly and operate virtually any load.
Many inverters are rated in Volt-Amps (VA), as opposed to Watts.
This is in an attempt to make an inverter or UPS (Uninterruptible
Power Supply) appear larger than it really is. The only fair way to

specify these products is in watts (W), which is power the inverter
can actually deliver. If Exeltech inverters were specified in VA, our
1100 watt inverter could be rated at 1375 VA @ 0.8 power factor,
1570 VA@ .7 pf, or an incredible 2200 VA @ 0.5 pf.; and our 2000
watt inverter could be rated at 2500 VA @ 0.8 pf., 2857 VA @ 0.7
pf, or an incredible 4000 VA @ 0.5 pf. It is confusing to specify a
product in VA, because the power factor must also be specified.
The inverter can maintain a spectrally pure output with any load,
due to a specially designed non-linear control loop in the primary
DC to DC converter. This circuitry is one of three circuits which
protect the inverter from any overload condition.
XP-600, XP-1100 and XP-2000
These inverters can supply twice their rated output power for 3
seconds, in order to start motors or supply in-rush currents to
electronic loads. If output power is exceeded for greater than 3
seconds, output voltage is reduced to a level which will provide
the inverter’s rated power to the load by clipping tops of the
waveform. The inverter can operate safely in this mode
indefinitely Exeltech’s XP-Series inverters can output their full
rated power continuously at 30 C (86 F). The inverter is derated

your specific model.
Provides the user with a remote method to
turn the inverter on and off. “REMOTE” connection is on the
barrier terminal strip located under the rear cover.
All domestic models have two NEMA - 15 outlets
(standard wall recepticle), and NEMA -Wd6 outlets (T slot, 5-20R
receptacle) on XPX. These are located on the front panel of the
unit. XP-600, XP-1100 and XP-2000 230 VAC inverters will have
an IEC-320 receptacle located on the front panel. Additionally, the
unit may be hard-wired to appliance/load using connections on the
barrier terminal strip, located under rear cover.
Provided by a thermostatically controlled brushless
fan located on the front panel.
Located on the front panel, will be "ON”
when inverter is powered up, and DC power is available.

XP600/1100/2000 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
When input voltage to the
inverter exceeds set limits, the inverter will immediately and
without warning shut off. When input voltage returns to normal
range, the inverter will immediately restart. Since high over
voltages tend to have very fast edges, the inverter must shut
down quickly to protect itself. This kind of fault usually occurs if
the battery is suddenly disconnected from the system and the
battery charger continues to supply current.
When battery voltage falls to
within 2% to 4% of low line voltage, the LOW BAT/THERM buzzer
will sound. If the condition continues without reducing load to the
inverter or adding charge to the battery, the inverter will shut off.
When voltage rises to approximately 85% of nominal battery
voltage the inverter will turn back on and the alarm condition will
clear. The inverter can be manually reset by cycling the on/off
switch. This will reset the protection circuit and turn the inverter on
at any voltage above minimum voltage.
The inverter is also
protected against overheating. It will provide its full rated output
up to the temperature listed in the specification sheet. If it is
subjected to higher ambient temperatures or air circulation is
blocked, the inverter may overheat. If the LOW BATT/THERM
buzzer sounds, immediate action is required or the inverter will
shut down. Either reduce load, or provide more cooling in the
immediate environment. If no action is taken, the inverter will
likely shut down within 2 minutes. When the inverter shuts down,
the alarm condition will persist and the cooling fan will continue
to run. Since the inverter has eliminated its load, it will cool fairly
quickly. It will automatically restart when it has cooled sufficiently,
and the LOW BATT/THERM alarm will clear.

OVERPOWER, SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION:
LED STATUS (For XP2000):
XP600/
1100 inverters have three levels of overpower protection. The first
limits peak instantaneous current. The second system limits
absolute power coming from the module. Both of these circuits act
to reduce output voltage as required, to limit current to a safe level
The overpower protection circuit will recover instantly when the
overpower condition clears. The third, is short circuit protection. If
the overcurrent condition is so severe that it causes output voltage
to collapse to 1 Vp for more than 1 second, the inverter will shut
down and not automatically restart. This requires the user to clear
the short circuit safely, and guarantee that hazardous voltage will
not come back on line until desired. To reset the inverter from this
condition, cycle power switch “OFF” then “ON” again.
inverters will provide peak current (45 A) or maximum
surge (4000W) for 3 seconds when the inverter’s internal
temperature is at or below 25 .The output current is then
reduced to 16.7A (rated power) for 4 secs.
XP-2000
oC If the inverter cannot
restore a full sine wave due to overload, the LED will be red. If the
overload condition does not clear in 7 secs., the inverter shuts off
(flashing redindicator).

Inverter requires adequate ventilation for cooling. With proper
cooling, the inverter will operate efficiently and meet its published
ratings. All models can be mounted in several positions. Best
position, with fan down. Second best, horizontal. Third, vertical
with fan up. Least preferred, upside down.
Inverter should be mounted as close to the battery as possible.
Shorter wire has less resistance, which translates to increased
efficiencies.
An in line fuse is recommended, to protect the battery and wiring to
the inverter. This fuse should be located very close to the battery
positive (+) terminal. To select appropriate size fuse, consult the
"Rated and Peak Current" table in appendix "A".
Disconnect the
charger and inverter are off.
Make DC input connections to the inverter as illustrated in
“Appendix C”.
(Optional) Using 12-18 AWG wire, make Remote On/Off
connection from the rear panel terminal labeled “REMOTE” to
one pole of a small toggle switch. Then from the other pole of
toggle switch, make a connection to battery negative (-). Make
sure the toggle switch is in the off position.
Reconnect grounded terminal of the battery.
