Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
Operate the Inverter in an environment free of flammable gases or fumes. To
ensure that the Inverter’s safety features are not compromised, use the Inverter as
specified in this manual and do not substitute parts or make any unauthorized
modifications. Contact the service technician for service and repair help. Repairs
must be made by experienced service technicians only.
WARNING
The XDI is intended for installation in a restricted access location. This is an area
intended for qualified or trained personnel only, access to which is controlled by
a locking mechanism (for example, a key lock or an access card system).
WARNING
Appropriate care and attention must be exercised when connecting any
equipment to a DC supply system due to the short circuit energy hazard that
exists.
CAUTION
The inverter will operate from a DC source in the range of -40 V to -60 V. The
maximum voltage without damage to the unit is -80 V. The source and cabling
shall be capable of supplying 45 A continuously for a worst case operating
voltage of -40 V. Under overload conditions (maximum 3 kW) the source
requirement will be 90 A at -40 V

Introduction
Inverter Information
Description
The Xantrex Datacom Inverter (patent pending) is the most versatile
modular rack mounted Inverter system for telecom and industrial
applications requiring constant AC power from standard –48 V battery
systems. The XDI consists of a 1 U (1.7 in, 73 mm) thin, true sinewave
2000 VA/1500 W inverter module rated for continuous duty, and a
compatible 19-inch wide equipment rack mount frame with back-plane
mounted connectors. The system is easily scalable by adding parallel-
connected modules and can be configured in N+1 single or three-phase
arrays for maximum reliability. No single unit is a “master”, and an array
of units will tolerate the failure of one or more parallel-connected
inverters.

CAUTION
The inverter will operate from a DC source in the range of -40 V to -60 V. The
maximum voltage without damage to the unit is -80 V. The source and cabling
shall be capable of supplying 45 A continuously for a worst case operating
voltage of -40 V. Under overload conditions (maximum 3 kW) the source
requirement will be 90 A at -40 V
Input Connector and Cables
The XDI input connector is a 2-pole, double lug terminal block with
separate double studs for the ground connection. A minimum of 6 AWG
copper conductor (rated 85°C minimum) is the recommended wire gauge
for all three input cables.
DC Input Wire Connection
Important: The following procedure should be used as a guide only. Ensure
that the installation complies with the specific wiring rules applicable to your
country or area of jurisdiction.
The DC input wiring should be routed through a 60 A circuit breaker for
each inverter used. This provides additional disconnect options and adds
to safety. A 2-pole breaker is recommended, but should a single pole be
used, it should be mounted in the negative side of the input wiring.
To connect DC input wires from the breaker:
1. Ensure DC breaker is de-energized.
2. Strip 7/16 in. (11 mm) off the positive, negative and ground cables
and install a standard two hole compression lug (hole diameter:
0.25 in. (6 mm)) on each cable.

Overview
The User-line interface provides basic remote control and monitoring on
the Inverter using TTL logic signals. The available signals are an Inverter
on/off input, fault and Inverter-on flags as well as a configurable auxiliary
line. The aux output can only be configured when the Ethernet option
card is installed. The user lines are optically isolated with typical source/
sink capability of 10 mA. To prevent damage to this interface, do not
exceed 40 mA of source/sink current.

CAN/SYNC Connector
Overview
The CAN/SYNC connector provides access to functions necessary for
operation of multiple units in parallel, series or three phase. The
connector is a 7-position wire clamp adjacent to the user-line. Two sets of
signals are provided on this connector:
•
Can-bus: Paralleled units relay data necessary to achieve load sharing
between units using this arbitration bus. The protocol used is
proprietary hence cannot be and should not be interfaced to different
products.
•
Sync-lines: Used to configure and synchronize units in parallel, series
or 3 phase.

CAUTION
Before attempting any connections, ensure power to rack is off by de-energizing
input and output circuit breakers.
This section covers the realization of different output configurations available
with this product line.
Stand-Alone Operation
A 120 Ohm resistor should be connected across the CAN-hi and CAN-lo
terminals to properly terminate the bus. No other connections to this port
are necessary for single unit operation.
Parallel Operation
When operated in this mode, up to ten XDI inverters can operate on a
single bus by daisy chaining the canbus lines. Any additional units above
this will still operate autonomously and not participate in load sharing
arbitration. At power-up, the first ten units to access the bus acquire a
unique I.D. each, beyond which no more I.D.s are made available. No
unique master exists in a parallel system. All units continuously execute a
complex algorithm to determine the load current based on the number of
units online and the highest individual current. This ensures no
interruption to the load should any unit in the system fail or is turned off.
Connection
•
•
Make connections to the CAN/SYNC connector using its screw-type
wire clamps. It may be necessary to remove the mating connector to
facilitate connections to the terminal. Daisy chain the CAN-bus lines
across all units in parallel (i.e. all CAN-hi terminals are connected
together and likewise for CAN-lo). 120 Ohm terminating resistors
must be connected across the CAN terminals of the first and last units
in the chain.
Also daisy chain the “SYNC-OUT 0” and “return” terminals on the
connector. This provides phase lock between paralleled units. See
Figure 2-8.

To create the Split-voltage between the top phase and bottom phase,
connect the L2 terminals of the first group to L1 terminals of the
second group. This node must also be connected to safety ground.

Overview
XDI inverters can be configured for 3-phase operation where necessary.
Synchronizing signals are used to achieve this functionality, precisely
phase locking the units at 120 phase displacement. For single units this
results in a 6kVA 3-phase source but up to 2 more units can be added to
each phase to increase capacity. (See “Parallel Operation” on page 2–15
for wiring details.) The units can be configured for 3-phase, 4-wire or 3-

Inverter Module Installation and Operation
Operation of Inverter Module
Theory of Operation
The XDI is a digitally controlled power converter. It provides galvanic
isolation from the DC input to the AC output. The isolation stage is a
class D amplifier (patent pending).
Depending on the rack wiring, inverters can operate in stand-alone,
parallel, 3-phase or split-phase mode. Details on rack wiring are in
Chapter 2.
When paralleled there is no master unit and each unit adjusts its own
power level for best power sharing.
way to remotely control and monitor the status of each Inverter in the
rack.
All user lines (see Figure 2-3) as well as communication lines between the
units (CANbus and synchro lines - see Figure 2-3) are isolated from the
input DC and output AC power potential.
System Startup
Turn the front panel switch (see Figure 3-2) to the ON position to enable
At power-on, the unit enters into a self-diagnostic mode to check that the
inverter is functioning correctly and no alarm conditions exist. During
this short delay (about 10 seconds), the “Standby/ON” Indicator (see
Figure 3-2) will flash green. Once the unit has completed its self-
diagnosis and everything is functioning correctly, by default the inverter
output will turn on. The “Standby/ON” indicator will remain solid green
and he power will be delivered to the output AC terminals (see Figure 2-
3).

quickly but conserves power in the meantime. In this mode the output to
your inverter remains OFF and the green “Standby/ON” LED (see Figure
3-2) on the front panel flashes. The “Standby” mode can be initiated via
the user interface lines (see Figure 2-3) or via an optional Ethernet
connection.
Please note that during the self diagnostic mode, the flashing of the green
LED is with approximately 50% duty cycle. During the standby mode the
flashing is significantly slower (with approximately 10% duty cycle, this
is referred to as “short flash”.)
Cooling Fans
To improve operating efficiency and extend fan lifespan, fan speed is
controlled by the XDI’s microprocessor. When the XDI’s internal
temperatures are below a safe threshold the fans will remain off. As the
internal temperatures rises, fan speed will smoothly increase to the
maximum.

Protections and Alarms
Protections and Alarms
Overview
The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) in the inverter continuously monitors
a number of parameters for purposes of protecting the power source, load,
inverter and user from hazardous conditions. Fuses on the DC input and
AC output provide additional hardware fault protection. An alarm is
triggered whenever a fault is detected. The protective action in the case of
a fault is to turn the inverter off. The inverter then enters a self-diagnosis
loop until the fault causing the alarm clears. This also clears the alarm in
the fault register and allows the inverter to resume normal operation. If an
alarm is tripped the fault flag on the user port as well as the red front panel
indicator will be active.When equipped with the Ethernet option, the
actual fault condition causing the alarm can be queried.
Input Voltage Protection
The inverter will continuously operate from an input source in the range
of -35 to -75 Vdc. Should the input voltage fall outside this range for
more than 4 seconds, the inverter output is disabled and internal relays
open to isolate the load and source. In this condition, the red LED on the
front panel is lit and fault flag on the user port is set high. The inverter
resumes normal operation as soon as the input is within acceptable limits
for 2 seconds.
Output Voltage Protection
The output is monitored for conditions potentially damaging to the
inverter or load. A voltage exceeding 140 Vac (263 Vac for the 230 V
model) at the inverter output for over 1 second, or a voltage below 80 V
(154 Vac for the 230 V model) for more than 5 seconds will cause the
inverter to shut down and open the internal load relay. This fault condition
is reported by setting the fault flag on the user port and fault LED on the
front panel. The DSP continues to check for compatible output conditions
before enabling the inverter and switching to “on-line” status.

Inverter Module Installation and Operation
Overload Protection
The inverter will deliver the rated load power continuously at the rated
ambient temperature. It will also reliably operate up to 1600 Watts
without further restriction on the maximum ambient temperature. The
internal temperatures of critical components monitored by the DSP will
determine operating time at this overload range. Beyond 1600 Watts, the
DSP computes the power and extrapolates the operating time at that
power level before shutting down. The maximum overload rating is
re-starts after a 10-second pause. Should three such events occur within a
2-minute interval, the inverter shuts down permanently. Normal operation
can be restored by clearing the alarm (see “To Clear an Alarm” on
page 3–11) or using the front panel switch.

Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
This feature protects critical components from failure due to temperature
stress should a fan fail or the ambient temperature or internal temperature
exceed acceptable levels. This module also controls the fans, turning them
on when internal temperatures exceed 35°C and increasing fan speed in
proportion to increase in temperature. When an OTP event occurs, the
Inverter shuts down and the fault flag is set on the front panel and user-
line port. Fans maintain operation at maximum speed until internal heat-
sink temperatures drop below 70°C at which point the inverter re-starts.
Short-circuit Protection
The inverter output is short-circuit proof. The DSP detects a sustained
protect the load. The inverter will attempt to power the load a total of
three times in a 4-second window before permanently shutting down.
After clearing the load fault, normal operation can be restored (see “To
Clear an Alarm” on page 3–11).
Over-Current protection
The inverter can reliably deliver up to 50 A of peak current without
tripping any protections. Two levels of protections are provided. The first
level of protection is hardware based, providing peak current clipping at
50 A. Should the current exceed this (e.g. in the event of severe back-
feed) the DSP forces the inverter to skip a line cycle. Three consecutive
line cycle skips will force a reset of the inverter where the output is
temporarily disabled for about 4 seconds or until the back-feed falls away.
Internal Diagnostics
Upon power-up or fault event, the inverter executes a sequence of internal
diagnostics checking for compatible conditions at the DC input, output
and selected internal modules. Different alarms cause execution of
differing diagnostic sequences. All preceding fault conditions are
continuously monitored as part of the internal diagnostics routine. In
addition, the internal bus voltage, which is the inverter voltage source is
also monitored. The diagnostic module checks to ensure this is within
limits at start-up and continuously during normal operation. A failure of
this bus sets the fault flag on the front panel and user-line port and
disables the inverter. Normal operation resumes when within limits.

Inverter Module Installation and Operation
Fuses and Grounding
The inverter is equipped with non-user replaceable, internal fuses for fault
protection. The input fuse (fuse F1) is rated at 60 A, 170 Vdc, 100 kA 1R
and positioned in the return path. Both L1 and L2 output ports are
protected with slow acting fuses (fuses F2 and F3). The fuse ratings are
model dependant and as follows:
XDI2048 120 V output: 20 A 250 V
Grounding studs are provided adjacent to the DC input and AC output
ports. The equipment must be grounded at these locations as required by
end applications and local regulations. See Chapter 2, “Rack Mount
Frame Assembly and Installation” for connection details.
Incorrect Connection Protection
•
Input contactor will not close for normal startup with reverse polarity
input connection.
•
•
The output contactor will not close if AC back feed is detected on
power up or if a unit is unable to synchronize to the AC bus.
The output fuse will open for output faults not covered by internal
protection circuitry.
Output (AC) Alarm
The following conditions will cause an output alarm:
•
•
•
•
•
Output overload
Output short circuit
Output Over-voltage
Over-temperature
Module failure
When such a condition exists,
1. The red FAULT indicator located on the front panel is turned on,
2. The open collector “Fault” alarm output is energized,
3. The output contactor is opened and the inverter output is disabled.
Except in the case of an Output Overload when the module will
continue to run for a short period, depending on the overload power,
prior to shutdown.

TM-DIOP-01XN-01
Maintenance
To Clear an Alarm
Depending on the cause of the alarm, the alarm may be cleared
automatically as soon as the fault condition has elapsed. In some cases,
the alarm is cleared by:
•
•
•
cycling the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel,
toggling the Shut_Down user line,
or toggling between Standby and Active buttons on the Web Browser
interface (if Ethernet Option is being used).
Maintenance
Periodic
Cleaning
Whenever a unit is removed from operation, clean the outside surfaces
with a weak solution of soap and water. If required, use low-pressure
compressed air to blow dust from in and around components on the
Fan Filter
Replacement
The XDI is fitted with disposable fan filters which prevent the entry of
dust and debris into the unit. These filters should be inspected every six
months. When the filters become dirty they can be replaced as shown in
Figure 3-4.

Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions
Introduction
The Ethernet interface card allows you to monitor/configure settings
using a Web page. It also adds email functionality to the XDI. The unit
will automatically send an email when it is powered up or when there is a
fault condition.
This section describes how the Web page and email works.
Network Connection
This configuration is used when you want to communicate to one or more
XDI inverters over a network. In order to use network connection the
network settings on the XDI’s Ethernet interface card must be configured
properly. Chapter 2 describes how to configure the network settings for
the first time.
Setting up to communicate using network connection:
1. Wire up the rack mount assembly as stated in the XDI manual.
2. Connect the XDI to a network.
3. Turn on the inverter.
4. Wait for an email that will be sent to the configured “Email Alert
Address”.
5. Run a Web browser program on the computer.
6. In the address box of your browser, type in the configured IP address
sent in the email.
Important: Each XDI Ethernet on the network will allow only one Web
browser to access its Web page at any one time.
TM-DIOP-01XN-01
4-9
Operating Instructions
Using DHCP
A DHCP server is used to obtain a dynamic IP that is unique on the
network. To enable DHCP, set the default IP to “0.0.0.0”. On power up
the Ethernet interface card will request a unique IP address from the
DHCP server which it will set as its active IP address.
If the “SMTP (email) Server” and “Email Alert Address” is setup
properly the Ethernet interface card will send an email with the obtained
IP address to be used on your Web browser.
On power up, if the default IP address is set to “0.0.0.0” the “Gateway IP”
will be reset to “0.0.0.0” as well so that it could obtain a valid gateway IP.
This is done to facilitate the use of the XDI on different networks when
using DHCP. If the default IP is static, the gateway IP is left unchanged.
Important: If you set the default IP to “0.0.0.0” and you connect a computer
directly to the inverter (without a DHCP server), the unit’s active IP will also be
“0.0.0.0”and communication to the inverter will not be possible.
To correct the problem, connect the inverter back onto the network using DHCP
or reset the Ethernet (see “Resetting” on page 4–6).
What Power On Does
During power on the Ethernet interface card takes approximately 8
seconds to initialize. If a DHCP server is used, the card resets the gateway
completed, the card will attempt to enable its Web server. It will do so for
the next minute. If successful, it attempts to send an email to the
configured “Email Alert Address” using the configured “SMTP Server”
(see “Network Connection” on page 4–9).
TM-DIOP-01XN-01

Password
The Web page interface is password protected. See “Password” on
page 4–12 for the default password. The Web page uses the industry
standard MD5 algorithm to authenticate the remote user.
Network configurations (Default IP, SMTP Server etc.) are protected with
one password (at+iRPG) and all other settings (for example, Monitor
Refresh Rate and Standby) are protected by another (at+iWPWD). For
Therefore, when you try to change a parameter, a password prompt may
appear twice. After submitting a password you can freely change
parameters for 10 minutes.

screen that will appear when both passwords are needed. There may be
only one box at other times. Enter the previously saved password into
both boxes and select “Submit”.
