Series stacking can also be used to connect to 240 VAC only power systems providing both 120 and 240 VAC outputs. A series stacking interface cable (DRI) is required to connect the series stacking port of the inverters. In this mode, one of the inverters will function as the primary and the other inverter becomes the secondary. The first unit switched ON becomes the primary and ensures the secondarys output is 180 degrees out of phase for 240 VAC operation. Both units can charge the batteries or provide battery backup power during a utility outage. The following illustrations provide a general overview of AC and DC wiring configurations and output voltages supplied by stacked inverters. Detailed wiring and operating instructions are provided with the DRI interface kit available from Xantrex Technology Inc. NOTE: Only 120 VAC/60 Hz models can be stacked.

The controls are easily accessible, and the LEDs provide inverter/charger status at a glance. POWER ON/OFF Switch The POWER ON/OFF control is a momentary contact switch that turns the inverter/charger ON or OFF by pressing it once. When the inverter is first connected to the batteries, it will run through a self test consisting of flashing the LEDs in sequence, operating the cooling fan momentarily and switching the transfer relay three times. Once the self test has successfully completed, the POWER ON/OFF switch is activated. Both ports are RJ11 type telephone style connectors and are used for controlling the inverter and regulating the charger voltage based on temperature. Its primary function is to provide serial communications to an optional Trace remote control unit (RC4 or RC8). The port also acts as a stacking interface control when two DR Series inverters are used in a series configuration. When two inverters are stacked, a remote control cannot be used with either unit. Remote Controls (RC4 or RC8) DR Series inverters are designed to operate with either an RC4 or RC8 remote control units. Both remotes incorporate a membrane switch with a single red LED display combination to start and stop the inverter, as well as provide overall system operating status. Solid With AC line power present, the unit is charging the batteries while directing AC to the load. With no AC line power present, the inverter is running on the batteries and supplying AC to the load. Blinking Slow (1 to 3 flashes @ 1 second intervals) The inverter is in search mode (no load connected).
