period days

30

All models

Range: 00 to 255

Sets a maximum number of days allowed between operation of the generator. When an internal counter reaches the number of days set, the generator will be started at the END QUIET TIME menu item setting. The run time is fixed at 10 minutes. If the generator is manually or automatically operated for 5 minutes at any time during this period, then this counter will reset and the period will start again. If this menu item is set for 1 day, then the generator will start everyday at this time. If the period is set to zero, then the exercise system will be disabled. If power is present at the AC1 input, the generator will not be connected to during the exercising operating period.

Set Maximum run

time h:m

08:00

All Models

Range: 00:00 to 23:50

This setting provides an indication that the generator operated excessively after it was automatically or manually started. Once this time period is reached, the error LED will flash and a GEN MAX RUN TIME ERROR condition will be indicated in the GENERATOR MODE (2) menu heading. This error is an advisory only error and does not stop the generator and the inverter/charger will continue to operate normally. While the error condition exists, the generator can be started manually or automatically. To reset the error condition, press the green GEN MENU button to select OFF, then the AUTO or ON. Setting the time to 00:00 defeats this function.

Set RY7 Function

GlowStop Run

All Models

Allows Relay 7 (RY7) to provide two different generator start routines. The relay labeled RY7 is used to either provide a STOP signal or a RUN signal. It can also be used to provide a GLOW signal on diesel generators with glowplugs. Note that the right side choice, RUN, is the default.

When RUN is selected as the function of the RY7 relay, the RY7 COM and RY7 N.O. contacts remain closed while the generator is running. The RY7 N.C. (normally closed) contact is open (not connected to the common terminal) while the generator is running. When the generator is off, the RY7 N.C. terminal is connected to the RY7 COM terminal. This configuration is useful for starting a two wire (auto crank) type generator.

When GLOWSTOP is selected as the function of the RY7 relay, the RY7 COM and RY7 N.O. contacts remain open while the generator is running. The contacts close only when it is time for the generator to be stopped, then re-open. This is useful for generators that require a stop signal to shut down the generator.

The GLOWSTOP setting can also be used for diesel generators. This relay can be used to provide both the GLOW and STOP signals. When this is done the generator will be given both GLOW and STOP signals before cranking and when stopping.

Set Gen warmup

seconds60

All Models

Range: 16 to 255

Sets the number of seconds the generator is allowed to warm up before the load is connected and the battery charger started. If the generator is located in a cold location (below freezing), a longer setting may be required.

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.
