MENU SYSTEM

METERS (4) MENU HEADING

The current meters provided measure only the real, in phase component of the current. This is the portion of the power that actually uses power from the battery. This allows better estimation of the DC power drawn by the load or the battery charger. This may cause the reading to vary from other AC meters.

NOTE: The meters do not display a (+) symbol for positive values.

Inverter/charger

 

Amps AC

00

All models

Range: -64 to +64 Amps

Reads AC amperage. Positive (+) amps indicates inverter is charging the batteries. Negative (-) amps indicate the inverter is powering the AC loads and the batteries are being discharged.

Input

 

Amps AC

00

All models

Range: -64 to +64 Amps

Reads total AC input current from the grid (AC1) or generator (AC 2). The reading is positive (+) if the inverter is drawing power from the utility grid to charge the battery or power AC loads and negative (-) if the inverter is selling power into the utility grid (only available if SELL mode is enabled).

Load

 

 

Amps

AC

00

All models

Range: 00 to 64 Amps

Reads the current that is going to the AC loads. This reading is always positive (+).

Battery actual

 

volts DC

12.6

12 VDC models

Range: 5.0 to 17.5 VDC

Battery actual

 

volts DC

25.2

24 VDC models

Range: 10.0 to 35.5 VDC

Battery actual

 

volts DC

50.4

48 VDC models

Range: 20.0 to 71.0 VDC

Reads the battery voltage. Similar to the voltage reading of a standard DC voltmeter. The actual battery voltage value is used for the LOW BATTERY CUT OUT; HIGH BATTERY CUT OUT, LOW BATTERY TRANSFER, LOW BATTERY CUT IN and BATTERY SELL VOLTS settings.

Battery TempComp

volts DC

12.6

12 VDC models

Range: 5.0 to 17.5 VDC

Battery TempComp

volts DC

25.2

24 VDC models

Range: 10.0 to 35.5 VDC

Battery TempComp

volts DC

50.4

48 VDC models

Range: 20.0 to 71.0 VDC

Note: The BTS must be installed for temperature compensation to be operational.

Reads the battery voltage after it has been adjusted based on the battery’s temperature. This value is used by the battery charger for its regulation settings. The value will decrease from the actual battery voltage if the battery is cold and will increase if the battery is hot, which may give the appearance that the batteries are being overcharged during winter and undercharged in the summertime. This improves the performance of the batteries in cold weather and reduces gassing in hot weather. If you are using a NiCad or other alkaline type battery, be sure to adjust the SET TEMP COMP menu item under the BATTERY CHARGING (10) menu heading of the SETUP MENU to NiCad.
