Studer Innotec RCC-03 Basic configurations, Maximum current of the AC source power sharing

Studer Innotec

According to the user level selected, it is possible to access several hundred configurations. For this reason, each configuration has a unique ID displayed top right. In the event of questions on the subject of a configuration, ensure that you have this number at hand.

When you modify a configuration, a star is displayed to the left of the value if it corresponds to the factory-set value.

The various configurations can be adjusted within a large range. Nevertheless, some configurations are interdependent and cannot be adjusted beyond the value of other configurations. You can consult the list of dependencies on the list in appendix 1.

Basic configurations {1100}

The basic configurations serve to adapt the Xtender characteristics to the elements that surround it. Use these configurations in order to optimise the operation of the inverter/charger and to benefit from the maximum performance of your installation.

Maximum current of the AC source (power sharing) {1107}

Adjust this configuration in the event of connection to a limited power source, for example, a generator of moderate power output or a dock or camping connection. The adjustment of this value limits the instantaneous power consumed from the source in charger mode. The power available is attributed by first priority to consumers and then to battery charging. If the consumption level changes, the battery charge current is automatically adjusted.

A.Power available and used to recharge the batteries

B.Maximum AC source current (adjusted to 10 A here)

C.Consumer current

D.Power supplied by the inverter (smart boost function)

If the consumption level is higher than the controlled level, the maximum source current will be exceeded, except when the smart boost function is activated.

Locking {1123}

In certain cases it may be useful to deactivate the Xtender functions to obtain specific behaviour. Different possible locks may be accumulated in order to refine the system operation.

Where there is lock on the inverter, charger or transfer function, a small padlock is displayed on the configuration display.

Authorised inverter {1124}

This configuration authorises operation in inverter mode. If the inverter is deactivated, a voltage will be present on the output terminals (AC OUT) only if a correct voltage is present at the input (AC-in) and the transfer is not prohibited.

This function can be used for supplying non-critical consumers while ensuring that the battery is not discharged even if the source is faulty.
