The GRID category of the advanced menu section allows for adjustment of the AC input voltage window and time delays to match the characteristics of the AC source if that AC source is the utility grid. This setting can be found in the SETUP/FX/INPUT menu. All OutBack Power System FX’s other than the

Once the password has been correctly entered, the ADV - CHOOSE PRODUCT is displayed. Selecting <FX> allows adjustment of the FX’s advanced programming.
Selecting <PG2> advances the user to the second page of the advanced menu.
Selecting <GRID> allows adjustment of the AC input set points and operation.
The AC INPUT CONNECT DELAY set point adjusts the time period of when the FX sees an acceptable AC source to when it connects the AC loads to that source. This is useful to allow the utility grid to become stable after a utility power outage. This setting has a range between 0.2 minutes to 15 minutes in 0.1 minute increments.
The AC1/GRID LOWER LIMIT set point allows adjustment of the minimum voltage that the AC source is allowed to be in order for the FX to connect to that source. The FX will back off the charger if the AC source is at this lower limit. If the AC source falls below this limit, the FX will disconnect from the AC source until it is above this value. This setting has a range between 80 vac and 220 vac in 2 vac increments.
The AC1/GRID UPPER LIMIT set point allows adjustment of the maximum voltage that the AC source is allowed to be in order for the FX to connect to that source. If the AC source exceeds this value, the FX will disconnect from the AC source until it is below this value. This setting has a range between 250 vac and 300 vac in 2 vac increments.
The AC1/GRID INPUT LIMIT sets the maximum amount of current the FX allows to be drawn from the AC source. When the AC input current limit is reached, the power draw of the battery charger is backed off to prevent overloading the AC source. If the AC loads exceed this limit, the FX will give a warning and start blinking the red “ERROR” LED. This setting has a range between 2.5 aac and 30.0 aac in 0.5 aac increments.
The AC1/GRID TRANSFER DELAY is the amount of time that the AC input will remain connected to the AC source when the AC input voltage drops below the AC1/GRID lower limit setting. Once the AC voltage has risen above the AC1/GRID lower limit setting for the AC INPUT CONNECT DELAY time period the AC source will be reconnected. This setting has a range between 0 cycles and 240 cycles in 1 cycle increments.
Selecting TOP returns the user to the top of the ADV/FX/GRID menu section. Selecting ADV returns you to the advanced screen to allow selection of another product connected to the MATE. Selecting MAIN returns the display to the MAIN screen.
