12 VDC models Range: 01 to 25

Set Max	Charge
amps AC	30

24 VDC & 48 VDC models

Range: 01 to 35

Set Max	Charge
amps AC	15

“E & W” models Range: 01 to 18

Set Max	Charge
amps AC	35

“J & K” models Range: 02 to 40

Sets the maximum amount of AC input current that the battery charger will use to charge the battery. This can be used to limit the charger output as well. The charger will “back-off” if the combination of AC loads and the charger reaches the AMPS AC setting of the AC INPUT connected to prevent overloading the source or tripping breakers. This process occurs automatically.

Set Temp Comp

LEADACID NICAD

All models

Allows selection of the battery type for the battery temperature compensation system. This effectively reduces the battery charging set points when the battery is hot and increases them when the battery is cold. The battery charging set points change ± 0.005 volts per degree Celsius for the LEADACID setting and ± 0.003 volts per degree Celsius per battery cell for the NICAD setting. These battery setpoint changes occur if the battery temperature is higher or lower than 25° C (77° F), and will only occur if the battery temperature sensor (BTS) is installed. The setting should be changed from the default setting only if NiCad or Nickel Iron batteries are used.

AC INPUTS (11) MENU HEADINGS

Set Grid (AC1)
amps AC	60

Standard models

Range: 00 to 63

Set Grid (AC1)
amps AC	30.0

“E & W” models Range: 00 to 31.5

Set Grid (AC1)
amps AC	60

“J & K” models Range: 00 to 63

This setting determines the level in AC amps at which the inverter begins to back-off the battery charger or operates in parallel to reduce the load on the utility grid. Typically, this is set to the size of the AC circuit breaker that feeds the AC HOT IN 1.

Set Gen	(AC2)
amps AC	30

Standard models

Range: 00 to 63

Set Gen	(AC2)
amps AC	15.0

“E & W” models

Range: 00.0 to 31.5

Set Gen	(AC2)
amps AC	30

“J & K” models Range: 00 to 63

This setting determines the level in AC amps at which the inverter begins to back-off the battery charger or operates in parallel to reduce the load on the generator. Typically, this is set to the size of the generator’s circuit breaker feeding the inverter (AC HOT IN 2) or the maximum output amperage ability of the generator.

Set Input	Lower
limit VAC	108

Standard models

Range: 80 to 111

Set Input	Lower
limit VAC	206

“E” models

Range: 170 to 220

Set Input	Lower
limit VAC	88

“J & K” models Range: 70 to 90

Set Input	Lower
limit VAC	196

“W” models

Range: 160 to 210

Sets the lowest voltage at which the inverter is allowed to be connected to the utility grid (AC INPUT 1) or the generator (AC INPUT 2). When the AC input voltage reaches this level, the inverter will stop battery charging and begin to invert in parallel with the AC source to reduce the load. If the voltage continues to drop, the inverter will disconnect and will power the loads from the battery. NOTE: Typically the INPUT LOWER LIMIT VAC setting will be based upon the minimum AC voltage tolerable by the AC loads.

Set Input	Upper
limit VAC	132

Standard models

Range: 128 to 149

Set Input	Upper
limit VAC	254

“E” models

Range: 250 to 298

Set Input	Upper
limit VAC	112

“J & K” models

Range: 105 to 129

Set Input	Upper
limit VAC	244

“W” models

Range: 240 to 288

Sets the highest voltage at which the inverter is allowed to be connected to the utility grid (AC INPUT 1) or generator (AC INPUT 2). This is also the maximum voltage at which the inverter will sell power into the line if SELL is enabled. When this voltage is reached the inverter will disconnect and power the AC loads from the battery. If this voltage drops below this setting, the inverter will reconnect the loads to the AC source.
