CONTROLS, INDICATORS AND COMPONENTS
AC1 IN GOOD (Green)
Indicates that AC power is present at the AC HOT IN 1 and NEUTRAL IN 1 input terminals. This input is intended for utility power. When an AC source is connected to the input terminals, it will start to blink slowly (once a second) to show the AC voltage has been detected. After the inverter has connected to the AC source, the LED will be solid. If the LED starts to blink during operation, utility power has been dropped.
AC2 IN GOOD (Green)
Indicates that AC power is present at the AC HOT IN 2 and NEUTRAL IN 2 input terminals. This input is intended for generator power. When an AC source is connected to the input terminals, it will start to blink slowly (once a second) to show the AC voltage has been detected. After the inverter has connected to the AC source, the LED will be solid. If the LED starts to blink during operation, generator power may have been dropped.
This LED will also blink slowly (once a second) when the automatic generator control system is enabled. When the generator has started, it will continue to blink slowly until the generator has been connected. If the generator does not successfully start, the AC 2 IN GOOD LED will stop blinking and the red ERROR LED will turn on. The ERROR CAUSES (5) menu heading will indicate a GENERATOR SYNC ERROR condition.
BULK (Yellow)
This indicator will be on to indicate the inverter is in the Bulk or Absorption charge stage. This indicator will go off and the FLOAT indicator will illuminate when the battery voltage has been held near the SET BULK VOLTS DC setting for the time period determined by the SET ABSORPTION TIME setting from the BATTERY CHARGING (10) menu heading.
If the EQ mode is selected from the SET GENERATOR menu item under the GENERATOR MODE (2) menu heading, the BULK LED will slowly blink while the charger completes the equalization process.
FLOAT (Green)
This indicator will be on when the battery voltage has reached the Float Stage of the charging process. It will now regulate the charging process to the SET FLOAT VOLTS DC setting from the BATTERY CHARGING (10) menu heading. The SET FLOAT VOLTS DC setting provides a maintenance charge to the battery until another Bulk Charge Cycle is initiated or the AC source is disconnected. If a generator is manually controlled and powering the battery charger, the FLOAT indicator will come on to indicate that the generator should be turned off, since the battery is now fully charged.
This indicator is also used to indicate the regulation setpoint when the inverter is operating as an Utility Interactive Inverter (SELL mode). The indicator will blink slowly to indicate the battery is regulated to the SET BATTERY SELL VOLTS DC setting from the BATTERY SELLING (17) menu heading, and the indicator will be “solid” to indicate the battery is regulated to the SET FLOAT VOLTS DC setting from the BATTERY CHARGING (10) menu heading.
ERROR (Red)
Indicates that an operating error has occurred (refer to the ERROR CAUSES (5) menu heading for a list of possible causes). To reset the inverter, press the red ON/OFF MENU button and then select OFF and then ON with the SET POINTS buttons or by pressing the red button several times.
This indicator will blink slowly to indicate that the AC source frequency is not
OVERCURRENT (Red)
The load requirement has exceeded the inverter’s maximum output AC amps. A sustained overcurrent condition will require a manual reset by pressing the red ON/OFF MENU button and then selecting OFF and then ON with the SET POINTS buttons or by pressing the red button several times. Momentary flashing of the red OVERCURRENT indicator means that the inverter has reached it maximum output AC amps and has automatically reset itself. This may occur during motor startups and is acceptable.
