MENU SYSTEM

The ERROR LED can be used to indicate when the generator frequency is well adjusted. When the frequency is within ± 5% of the nominal value, the LED will be off. Once outside this window, the LED will be on. A frequency meter is also provided in the METERS (4) menu heading to allow a more precise adjustment of the generator. It is able to indicate the frequency of the generator only after the inverter has been able to synchronize to the generator. The acceptable frequency range for the SW Series is 53 to 67 Hertz for 60-Hertz models and 44 to 56 Hertz for 50-Hertz models.

Inverter breaker

trippedNO

The inverter’s output AC circuit breaker on the left end of the chassis has tripped or is “open”. Operating too large of an AC load may cause this. Reduce the loads connected and reset the circuit breaker by pressing it in or moving the handle depending upon the type of breaker included.

TIME OF DAY (6) MENU HEADING

Provides the reference for any time functions enabled. Does not reset when the “PRESS FOR FACTORY DEFAULTS” button is pressed. Will reset only if DC power to the inverter is lost.

Set Clock hour 00:00:00

Indicates and allows setting of the hours for the internal clock. This setting is based on a 24-hour clock and adjusts in 10-minute increments.

Set Clock minute 00:00:00

Indicates and allows setting of the minutes for the internal clock.

Set Clock second

00

Indicates and allows setting of the seconds for the internal clock.

GENERATOR TIMER (7) MENU HEADING

Start Quiet

 

Time h:m

08:00

Generator will not be started during this period unless the actual battery voltage reaches the LOW BATTERY CUT OUT VDC setting for a continuous period of 30 seconds. Causes the automatic generator control system to ignore the AC load and battery voltage start settings. The quiet time period is usually set for the sleeping hours.

End Quiet

 

Time h:m

08:00

This setting finishes the quiet time period, allowing the generator to start as required by the settings of the GEN AUTO START SETUP (12) menu heading in the SETUP MENU. To disable the quiet time, set the start and end times equal. The generator exercise system will start at this time setting and will run for 15 minutes if the generator exercise timer has reached the SET EXERCISE DAYS menu item setting. For example, if the SET EXERCISE DAYS menu item is set for 1, then the generator will start every day at this time. To disable the generator exercise system, set the SET EXERCISE DAYS menu item to zero.

INFORMATION DISPLAY

The following information is displayed as additional Menu Items.

Gen doesn’t run during quiet time unless batt volts is less than

LBCO volts for 30 seconds, or load > load start amps.

To defeat timers set start = end.

If exercise day set to 1 then gen will always start @ end quiet.

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.
