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 systemPage TIME OF DAY 6 MENU HEADING GENERATOR TIMER 7 MENU HEADINGTo defeat timers set start = end Gen doesn’t run during quiet time unless batt volts is less thanMENU HEADINGS SETUP MENUMENU SYSTEM PagePage INVERTER SETUP 9 MENU HEADINGMENU SYSTEM Set Grid Usage FLT SELL SLT LBXMENU SYSTEM This 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 PageBATTERY GENERATOR SUPPORT MODEGENERATOR OPERATIONOPERATION GENERATOR SUPPORT/OVERLOAD PROTECTION120 VAC VS. 120/240 VAC GENERATORS PageAC GENERATOR CONTROL AUTOMATIC GENERATOR CONTROL MODEDC BATTERY INVERTER/ CHARGERAUTOMATICALLY GEN CONTROL RELAYSGENERATOR STARTING SCENARIOS OPERATIONOPERATION GENERATOR STARTING AND STOPPING CONFIGURATIONSMANUALLY PageFigure 23, Two Wire Start Wiring Diagram TWO WIRE START GENERATORS2 WIRE TYPE GENERATOR GENERATOR AUTO START REQUIREMENTS AND TYPESHONDA TYPE GENERATOR THREE-WIRE START GENERATORSFigure 25, Three-Wire Start Wiring Diagram ONAN Type OPERATIONFigure 26, Relay RY7 and RY8 Sequence 3-TO-2 WIRE CONVERTERSGENERATOR CONTROL SEQUENCE OPERATIONOPERATION GENERATOR ERROR CAUSESGENERATOR STOP COOL DOWN PERIOD PageOPERATION EQUALIZATION CHARGING, AUTOMATIC GENERATOR CONTROL SYSTEMAn automatic equalization charge process is available in the SW Series Inverter/Charger.

This can be used together with the solar array or alone without a solar array. The inverter can be programmed to sell the energy in the batteries at a specific time and then to recharge the batteries at another time.

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 offPage “SERIES” STACKED OPERATION USING MULTIPLE INVERTERSINPUT/OUTPUT BYPASS BREAKER SWITCH - 240 VAC LOADS OPERATION240 VAC/60 HZ ONLY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS GENERATOR CONTROL SETTINGS“PARALLEL” STACKED OPERATION OPERATIONThe inverters can operate in parallel as battery chargers from the same AC source connected to the same battery.
