Set Low Battery

cut out VDC 11.0

12 VDC models

Range: 08.0 to 16.0

Set Low Battery

cut out VDC 22.0

24 VDC models

Range: 16.0 to 32.0

Set Low Battery

cut out VDC 44.0

48 VDC models

Range: 32.0 to 64.0

This setting controls when the inverter turns off due to a low battery voltage condition. The inverter will turn off only after this level has been reached for the period of time set by the following item. When the automatic generator control system is used, the generator will be started when the battery voltage has dropped below this value for 30 seconds continuously. This will occur even during the quiet time period. This setting is not temperature compensated.

Set LBCO delay

minutes15

All models

Range: 00 to 255

This setting controls how long the inverter delays before turning off due to a low battery voltage condition. The inverter will turn off only after the LOW BATTERY CUT OUT VDC level has been reached for this period of time continuously. If you are using the automatic generator control system, don’t set this delay period shorter than the amount of time it takes the generator to start and connect or the power will go off and then back on when the generator auto starts due to a LBCO condition.

Set Low battery

cut in VDC 13.0

12 VDC models

Range: 05.0 to 17.5

Set Low battery

cut in VDC 26.0

24 VDC models

Range: 10.0 to 35.0

Set Low battery

cut in VDC 52.0

48 VDC models

Range: 20.0 to 70.0

This setting controls when the inverter turns back on once it has shut off after the battery reached the LOW BATTERY CUT OUT VDC setting. It is also used to control when the system resumes powering the AC loads from the inverter when LBX mode is being used. In LBX mode, the best performance will often be achieved if this setting is higher than the BULK and FLOAT VOLTS DC setting in order to reduce cycling of the system. The DC charging sources (wind, solar etc.) must then cause the battery voltage to rise above the charger settings before the system resumes inverter mode operation. This setting is not temperature compensated.

Set High battery

cut out VDC 16.0

12 VDC models

Range: 00.0 to 16.5

Set High battery

cut out VDC 32.0

24 VDC models

Range: 00.0 to 33.0

Set High battery

cut out VDC 64.0

48 VDC models

Range: 00.0 to 66.0

This is the battery voltage at which the inverter turns off. The inverter will automatically restart once the battery voltage has dropped 1.5 VDC below the HBCO setting for 12 VDC systems, 3 VDC for 24 VDC systems, and 6 VDC for 48 VDC systems. This setting is not temperature compensated.

Set search

watts48

All models

Range: 00 to 240

The sensitivity threshold of the search mode circuit is adjustable. If set to zero, it is effectively disabled. The sensitivity is only adjustable in increments of 16 watts.

Set search

spacing59

All Models

Range: 10 to 255*

The length of time between each search pulse is also adjustable. The setting is in cycles. Therefore, a setting of 60 would generate search pulses that are 1 second apart. The range of settings is from 10 to 255 cycles, which equals a search pulse from 6 times a second to once every 4.25 seconds. This adjustment can be used to speed up the response of the search circuit, which will reduce the delay when starting a load. Reducing the spacing increases the power consumption of the inverter when it is in the search mode, reducing the benefit of it. Typically, the default value is acceptable.
