Introduction

The PowerXchanger® incorporates the most advanced double-converter technology to receive power of varying voltages and frequencies from the grid and provide a stable sine-wave output voltage at 60Hz frequency enabling the user’s equipment to be plugged in to the PowerXchanger and receive stable 120V/60Hz power. The double-converter principle eliminates power spikes, surges or voltage sag that might occur in the grid power. A PFC rectifier is incorporated to improve conversion efficiency.

The PowerXchanger® conforms to the following standards and guidelines

• UL-ULus (CCN: QQFU/7) Power Units Other Than Class 2,
• UL 1012, Seven Edition, October 14, 2008
• UL-cUL: CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 107.1-01, September 2001
• DEMKO-CB IEC60950-1:2005+A1:2009+A2:2013 (Ed. 2.2)
• TUV/SUD-CB IEC 60335-1:2010+A1:2013 (Ed. 5.1)
• FCC CISPR22 and Part 15: subpart B
• EMC 2004/108/EC
• RoHS Compliant Directive 2002/95/EC

Performance Characteristics and Protection Features

• Full function LCD Display (X-15 Model Only)
• Overload and O/P Short Circuit Protection
• High Output Surge Current Capability for Varying Load
• High Reliability Design, with Sealed Circuitry
• Light Weight and High Efficiency
• Dual Stage Topology for Stable Output Regulation Over a Wide Range of Input Power
• Easy to Install: Wall Mount Bracket Included

Output Overload Alarm
All PowerXchanger® products include an overload alarm system. If the output current drawn by the load exceeds the PowerXchanger’s over-current-alarm threshold (See “Overcurrent Protection Alarm Threshold” above) a white LED will blink every four seconds*. If the overload continues for more than one minute an audible alarm will sound so long as the overload is present. If the overload alarm continues for more than one minute, the Xchanger® will turn off. After a 30-second delay, the Xchanger® will turn on again.

Output Overload Protection
If the output of the PowerXchanger® load exceeds the output overload protection threshold for more than two seconds, the Xchanger® turns off, sounds an audible alarm, and the white LED begins blinking every four seconds*. After a 30 second delay, the Xchanger® will turn on again. If the overload is no longer present, the audible alarm will stop, the LED will stop blinking, and the Xchanger® will operate normally. If the overload is still present, the Xchanger® will once again turn off and wait 30 seconds before attempting to start again.

Output Short Circuit Protection

• If the PowerXchanger® detects that the output voltage is 60VAC or less for at least 250ms indicating that the output is short circuited or extremely overloaded, the Xchanger® will shut down for 30 seconds and then attempt to restart. If the short circuit or overload conditions still exist, the Xchanger® will repeat the attempt to restart up to 30 times. If the short circuit or overload persists after 30 attempts, the PowerXchanger® shuts down and latches off.
• To restore the PowerXchanger® to operation, remove the load which is the cause of the output short circuit or extreme overload, turn the input switch to OFF, wait 5 seconds, and then turn the switch to ON.

Thermal Protection

• If the PowerXchanger® detects an overheating condition, a sequence of 3 beeps every 2 seconds will sound and a white LED will also blink every two seconds.
• If the Xchanger continues to overheat, it will eventually turn itself off to protect itself from damage. Once the PowerXchanger has cooled off sufficiently, it will automatically restart.

Note 1: For example, at 50 °C ambient temperature, the maximum average output power of the X-10 is 900 W. The calculation is: 1200 W – 30 W/°C × (50 °C – 40 °C) = 1200 W – 300 W = 900 W.

Dust and Moisture Resistance
The electronics of all models of the PowerXchanger® Deluxe Series are sealed to protect against the intrusion of dust and moisture, and are rated IP52 (protected against intrusion of dust and water when tilted at an angle up to 15°).
Cooling
All units are designed to operate with natural convection cooling. The X-5, X-10, and X-15 models have an auxiliary fan that will operate only if needed to keep the PowerXchanger® at a safe operating temperature.

Functional Description

A PFC rectifier converts the variable input VAC to 400 VDC. The 400VDC is divided into 2 series connected direct voltage, 0V/200V/400V. A voltage balancing circuit is used to prevent damage that might otherwise be cause by abnormal voltages. From these DC voltages, an AC output circuit generates a sinusoidal AC voltage to supply power to the connected load. Two LC filters switch automatically to maintain the high efficiency regardless of the connected load level.

Selecting the Optimal Location for Desktop or Wall Mount Installation
Your PowerXchanger® can be used on a desktop at the point of use (models X-10 and X-15), with your equipment plugged in directly to the unit, or using the Extension Outlet that comes with the unit it can be located 6 feet away; avoiding the need for extension cords on the floor.
All models, X-5, X-10 and X-15 can be mounted on a wall, and the legs removed (X-10 and X-15)
Consider the Following When Selecting a Location for Use

• Indoor Installation Only
• Select a well-ventilated and cool area. PowerXchangers have sealed electronics and cool only with natural ventilation. This has the benefit that they are not susceptible to dust and humidity and operates silently, since they have no internal fans
• Do not place or install in an airtight closet or cabinet
• Avoid direct sunlight. Direct sunlight will increase the surface temperature

Additionally, Consider the Following When Selecting a Location for Wall Mounting

• Do not mount the PowerXchanger on flammable construction material.
• Mount on solid surface
• For proper air circulation and heat dissipation, allow a clearance of 20 cm on the sides and 50 cm above and below the unit
• The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C to ensure optimal operation, over this range will reduce the average output power for thermal de-rating.

Mounting Unit

Installation to the wall should be implemented with the proper screws. Mount the wall bracket so that the PowerXchanger® can be easily attached to the wall. After that, the device should be bolted on securely.

1. Drill four or eight holes in the marked locations and fix the bracket with screws.
2. Place the unit on bracket slowly down.
3. Check if the unit is firmly secured.
