OPERATION

EQUALIZATION CHARGING, AUTOMATIC GENERATOR CONTROL SYSTEM

An automatic equalization charge process is available in the SW Series Inverter/Charger. To start the equalization process, select EQ from the SET GENERATOR menu item, accessible by pressing the green GEN MENU button on the Control Panel.

During the next automatic generator run period, the inverter can be set to complete an equalization charge process. You must first select EQ from the SET GENERATOR menu item. The generator will start the equalization process the next time the generator is automatically started and will automatically stop and return the cursor to the AUTO position in the SET GENERATOR menu item once the equalization period has been completed.

The SET EQUALIZE TIME menu item under the BATTERY CHARGING (10) menu heading sets the amount of time that the battery voltage must exceed the BULK VOLTS DC setting before the equalization process is considered to be completed. This timer is an accumulating type timer that does not reset if the voltage drops momentarily below the bulk voltage setting. During the equalization process, the voltage will be limited to the level of the SET EQUALIZATION VOLTS DC menu item.

During the equalization process, the BULK LED will flash slowly to indicate that the EQ position has been selected from the SET GENERATOR menu item. When the process has finished, the FLOAT LED will be on if the generator or utility power is still available.
