This owner’s manual describes the
Fleet Power
TM
3000-12
Inverter/Charger from
Xantrex Technology Inc. This unit performs
three distinct functions:
1. DC to AC power inverting.
2. Automatic transfer switching between
inverter power and incoming AC power.
3. Automatic three-stage battery charging
plus manual battery equalizing.
• The inverter provides regulated 120 volt AC
power at a crystal controlled frequency from a
deep-cycle battery bank and is rated at 3000
watts.
The output is a modified sine wave and is
compatible with most appliances, tools and
other 120 VAC equipment. (Note: certain laser
printers, breadmakers, digital clocks and small
battery chargers may not operate on modfied
sine wave.) An idle mode reduces battery
power consumption when loads are removed
from the inverter. There is a low battery cutout
protection circuit and momentary surge power
of more than twice the inverter rating for start-
ing electric motors. High efficiency ensures the
longest possible battery life between charges.
• The internal transfer switch allows the
FP3000-12 to be connected to an external AC
source and transfer the source power through
directly to the loads. When the external AC
power source is disconnected, the transfer
switch allows automatic switching back to the
inverter.
The FP3000-12 operates as a self-contained
backup power system—just add batteries.
INTRODUCTION
• The FP3000-12 battery charger is
electronically controlled and rated at a
maximum output current of 140 amps DC.
It is designed to rapidly and optimally charge
wet, gel, or Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)** cell
deep-cycle batteries. Battery charging is
automatically accomplished in three stages:
Bulk Charge, Acceptance Charge and Float
Charge.
Using a Remote Control Panel, a manually
engaged Equalizing Charge cycle is possible.
Simple, automatic operation is made possible
by the microprocessor in the FP3000-12. In
most cases, no attention or maintenance is
required.
Electronic Protection
Fast-acting electronic circuits protect the
inverter from overloads and short circuits.
Other protection includes a low and high
battery voltage cutoff and automatic shutdown
if an over-temperature condition occurs. When
the fault condition is corrected, the unit will
automatically reset. Example: remove over-
load, charge batteries or allow to cool.
**Battery type selection is set on the front of the unit
or with the Remote Control Panel.
