MENU SYSTEM

High Battery

voltageNO

Battery voltage was above the HIGH BATTERY CUT OUT VDC setting. 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 system.

Low Battery

voltageNO

Battery voltage is below the LOW BATTERY CUT OUT VDC setting. The inverter has shut off to prevent over-discharge of the battery. Allow the battery to recharge or connect to an AC source such as a back-up generator. The inverter will reset when the battery exceeds the LOW BATTERY CUT IN VDC setting.

to

output

NO

 

 

 

Reports that an AC voltage source was connected directly to the AC output. This can be caused by improper wiring or incorrect installation of the inverter. Check the AC input and output wiring. This condition is much worse than a short circuit and may cause damage to the inverter. Find the cause and correct the problem before restarting the inverter. A defective utility or generator AC input relay could cause this condition. To test, disconnect all input wiring from AC inputs 1 and 2 and restart the inverter. If the AC IN GOOD LED indicator on the control panel glows, then the inverter’s internal relay is defective.

External error

(stacked) NO

A problem has occurred with the series interface cable or one of the inverters operated in series. Check the cable for damage and replace it to see if the problem is corrected. Also, check the connecting AC wiring.

Generator start

errorNO

Indicates that the automatic generator control system was not able to successfully start the generator. The system completes five start cycles and requires that the generator operate for a minimum of 5 minutes before the starting attempts counter is cleared. To manually clear this error, select OFF and then AUTO or ON from the SET GENERATOR menu item, which pressing the green GEN MENU button on the control panel can access.

Generator sync

errorNO

Indicates that the automatic generator control system was not able to successfully connect to the generator after it was running. If the generator runs for 10 minutes without operating in the AC voltage and frequency tolerance windows, then the automatic control system stops the generator and indicates an error condition. To manually clear this error, select OFF and then AUTO or ON from the SET GENERATOR menu item, or press the green GEN MENU button on the control panel can access.

Gen under/over

speedNO

Indicates that the automatic generator control system has detected that the generator frequency is not well adjusted. This error condition will cause the red ERROR LED to illuminate, but will not cause the automatic generator control system to shut down the generator. If the inverter can not synchronize to the generator after a 10-minute period, then the GENERATOR SYNC ERROR condition will be reached.

SW Series specifications

Xantrex Technology has established itself as a leader in innovative power solutions, and its SW Series inverters epitomizes this commitment to quality and efficiency. Designed for both standalone and grid-tied applications, the SW Series offers versatile power management for a range of residential and commercial needs.

At the heart of the SW Series is its advanced pure sine wave output, ensuring clean and reliable electricity suitable for sensitive electronics. This feature makes it an excellent choice for applications such as solar energy systems, where it provides high-quality power for a variety of devices, from household appliances to complex machinery.

One of the key characteristics of the SW Series is its modular design, which allows for easy installation and scalability. This modularity enables users to expand their power system as their energy needs grow, making it an ideal choice for both small and large installations. The inverters come equipped with a user-friendly interface, providing clear information on system performance, battery status, and more, ensuring that users can effectively monitor and manage their energy consumption.

The SW Series inverters also incorporate cutting-edge technology, such as the patented Power Factor Correction (PFC) feature, which optimizes energy efficiency by reducing harmonic distortion. This translates into less wasted electricity and lower energy costs, making it an environmentally friendly option for users looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Another notable feature of the SW Series is its ability to operate in extreme conditions. Built with robust components and advanced thermal management systems, these inverters can withstand a wide range of temperatures and environmental challenges, ensuring reliable performance in various settings. This durability makes them suitable for off-grid applications, including remote cabins, RVs, and boats.

Furthermore, the SW Series supports a variety of battery types, including lithium-ion, AGM, and gel batteries, offering flexibility for users to choose the best energy storage solution for their needs. The sophisticated battery management system ensures optimal charging and discharging, prolonging the lifespan of the batteries and enhancing the overall efficiency of the power system.

In summary, Xantrex Technology's SW Series inverters stand out for their pure sine wave output, modular design, energy efficiency features, and robust performance in challenging conditions. With their versatility and advanced technology, they cater to the evolving needs of today’s power consumers, making them a compelling choice in the modern energy landscape.
