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 GENERATOR TIMER 7 MENU HEADING To defeat timers set start = endTIME OF DAY 6 MENU HEADING Gen doesn’t run during quiet time unless batt volts is less thanSETUP MENU MENU SYSTEMMENU HEADINGS PageINVERTER SETUP 9 MENU HEADING MENU SYSTEMPage 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.

This can be used to limit the charger output as well. The charger will “back-off” if the combination of AC loads and the charger reaches the AMPS AC setting of the AC INPUT connected to prevent overloading the source or tripping breakers.

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 valueOPERATION PageGENERATOR SUPPORT MODE GENERATORBATTERY OPERATIONGENERATOR SUPPORT/OVERLOAD PROTECTION 120 VAC VS. 120/240 VAC GENERATORSOPERATION PageAUTOMATIC GENERATOR CONTROL MODE DC BATTERYAC GENERATOR CONTROL INVERTER/ CHARGERGEN CONTROL RELAYS GENERATOR STARTING SCENARIOSAUTOMATICALLY OPERATIONGENERATOR STARTING AND STOPPING CONFIGURATIONS MANUALLYOPERATION PageTWO WIRE START GENERATORS 2 WIRE TYPE GENERATORFigure 23, Two Wire Start Wiring Diagram GENERATOR AUTO START REQUIREMENTS AND TYPESTHREE-WIRE START GENERATORS Figure 25, Three-Wire Start Wiring Diagram ONAN TypeHONDA TYPE GENERATOR OPERATION3-TO-2 WIRE CONVERTERS GENERATOR CONTROL SEQUENCEFigure 26, Relay RY7 and RY8 Sequence OPERATIONGENERATOR ERROR CAUSES GENERATOR STOP COOL DOWN PERIODOPERATION PageEQUALIZATION CHARGING, AUTOMATIC GENERATOR CONTROL SYSTEM An 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 USING MULTIPLE INVERTERS INPUT/OUTPUT BYPASS BREAKER SWITCH - 240 VAC LOADS“SERIES” STACKED OPERATION OPERATIONGENERATOR CONTROL SETTINGS “PARALLEL” STACKED OPERATION240 VAC/60 HZ ONLY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS OPERATIONBATTERY CHARGING WITH MULTIPLE INVERTERS AUTOMATIC GENERATOR CONTROL WITH MULTIPLE INVERTERSThe inverters can operate in parallel as battery chargers from the same AC source connected to the same battery.
