This can be caused by the solar array or other charging source not being regulated. Check the controller for proper operation. Some controllers have a “equalize” setting which over-rides the normal operation, allowing the battery voltage to be unregulated. Return the controller to the “normal” setting and check for proper operation. If you are using NiCad type batteries, you will need to increase the HIGH BATTERY CUT OUT VDC setting. The inverter will automatically reset once the battery voltage has dropped 1.5 volts below the HBCO setting for a 12 VDC system, 3 volts for a 24 VDC system and 6 volts for a 48 VDC system MENU SYSTEMPage To defeat timers set start = end GENERATOR TIMER 7 MENU HEADINGTIME OF DAY 6 MENU HEADING Gen doesn’t run during quiet time unless batt volts is less thanMENU SYSTEM SETUP MENUMENU HEADINGS PageMENU SYSTEM INVERTER SETUP 9 MENU HEADINGPage Set Grid Usage FLT SELL SLT LBXThis setting controls when the inverter turns off due to a low battery voltage condition. The inverter will turn off only after this level has been reached for the period of time set by the following item. When the automatic generator control system is used, the generator will be started when the battery voltage has dropped below this value for 30 seconds continuously. This will occur even during the quiet time period.

Some applications may want to allow the alternate power source solar, wind or hydro to recharge the battery instead of allowing the utility to provide the power. The only option is to program the SET MAX CHARGE AMPS AC menu item under the BATTERY CHARGING 10 menu heading to the minimum value, 1 amp AC, and set the BULK VOLTS and FLOAT VOLTS settings, also under the BATTERY CHARGING 10 menu heading, to a low value TRANSFER TIMEOPERATION PageGENERATOR GENERATOR SUPPORT MODEBATTERY OPERATION120 VAC VS. 120/240 VAC GENERATORS GENERATOR SUPPORT/OVERLOAD PROTECTIONOPERATION PageDC BATTERY AUTOMATIC GENERATOR CONTROL MODEAC GENERATOR CONTROL INVERTER/ CHARGERGENERATOR STARTING SCENARIOS GEN CONTROL RELAYSAUTOMATICALLY OPERATIONMANUALLY GENERATOR STARTING AND STOPPING CONFIGURATIONSOPERATION Page2 WIRE TYPE GENERATOR TWO WIRE START GENERATORSFigure 23, Two Wire Start Wiring Diagram GENERATOR AUTO START REQUIREMENTS AND TYPESFigure 25, Three-Wire Start Wiring Diagram ONAN Type THREE-WIRE START GENERATORSHONDA TYPE GENERATOR OPERATIONGENERATOR CONTROL SEQUENCE 3-TO-2 WIRE CONVERTERSFigure 26, Relay RY7 and RY8 Sequence OPERATIONGENERATOR STOP COOL DOWN PERIOD GENERATOR ERROR CAUSESOPERATION PageAn automatic equalization charge process is available in the SW Series Inverter/Charger.

This can result in the battery voltage reaching the HIGH BATTERY CUT OUT VDC setting unless a charge control device limits the battery voltage. Note that the LOW BATTERY CUT IN VDC setting must be set below the external charge controllers regulation setting or the system would never transfer back to the battery. The best compromise involves setting the BULK VOLTS DC equal to the FLOAT VOLTS DC default value, and setting the LOW BATTERY CUT IN VDC setting to the default BULK VOLTS DC setting. Make sure the external charge controller is set slightly higher than the LOW BATTERY CUT IN VDC setting so that the voltage can be reached without the charging source shutting off OPERATIONPage INPUT/OUTPUT BYPASS BREAKER SWITCH - 240 VAC LOADS USING MULTIPLE INVERTERS“SERIES” STACKED OPERATION OPERATION“PARALLEL” STACKED OPERATION GENERATOR CONTROL SETTINGS240 VAC/60 HZ ONLY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS OPERATIONAUTOMATIC GENERATOR CONTROL WITH MULTIPLE INVERTERS BATTERY CHARGING WITH MULTIPLE INVERTERSThe inverters can operate in parallel as battery chargers from the same AC source connected to the same battery.
