Grid (AC1)

volts220

“W” models

Range: 00 to 510 VAC

Reads the RMS value of the AC voltage at the inverter’s AC HOT 1 input and NEUTRAL IN 1 terminals. This is usually the connection for the utility grid. Value will drift around before inverter has synchronized.

Generator (AC2)
volts AC	120

Standard models

Range: 00 to 255 VAC

Generator (AC2)
volts AC	220

“W” models

Range: 00 to 510 VAC

Reads the RMS value of the AC voltage at the inverter’s AC HOT 2 input and NEUTRAL IN 2 terminals. This is usually the connection for a back-up, fuel-powered generator. Value will drift around before inverter has synchronized.

Read Frequency		Read Frequency
Hertz	60	Hertz	50
60 Hz models		50 Hz models
Range: 53 to 67 Hz		Range: 44 to 56 Hz

Reads the frequency of the AC source that the inverter is synchronized to. This value may drift around until the inverter has synchronized to the source. Once synchronized, the inverter follows the frequency of the AC source it is connected to.

INFORMATION DISPLAY

The following information is displayed as additional Menu Items.

AC1 & AC2 volts valid only when inverter synced to that input.

Batt volt actual is used for LBCO, HBCO, LBX, LBCI, sell volts and gen starting. Batt volt temp comp is used for float, bulk, eq & aux relays

ERROR CAUSES (5) MENU HEADING

When an error has occurred, the red ERROR LED on the control panel will be illuminated. If a generator error has occurred, the ERROR LED will blink slowly. This menu is provided to assist with the investigation into the error cause. If an error condition has occurred, the word NO will be changed to YES. To reset the error, turn the inverter OFF and then ON.

Over Current

NO

Too large of a load was connected or the AC output wiring was short-circuited. This can occur in inverter or charger mode. To clear this fault, disconnect the loads and restart the inverter. To restart, push the red ON/OFF MENU button on the control panel and then select OFF and then ON or SRCH. Reconnect the loads one at a time to find the load or combination of loads that cause the problem. If the inverter will not restart with all loads and inputs disconnected remove all AC wiring from the terminal block and try to restart again. If it restarts, the problem is with the wiring. If it does not restart, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE on page 112.

Transformer		Heatsink
overtemp	NO	overtemp	NO

The transformer or power transistors have exceeded their safe operating temperature and the inverter has turned off. When operating as a battery charger, the inverter will reduce its charging rate to prevent overheating. As an inverter, overheating can be caused by attempting to operate too large of a load for too long, a failure of the inverter cooling fans, or that the air flow into or out of the inverter is being blocked. The inverter will automatically reset once it has cooled. While the inverter has shut down, AC power from any AC source will not pass through the inverter to power AC loads. Any power management provided by the inverter will not be able to occur while the inverter is off.
