BULK CHARGE TRIGGER TIMER (15) MENU HEADING

Set Start Bulk

time00:00

All Models

Range: 00:00 to 23:50

Starts the bulk charge process at the time shown. Setting to 00:00 defeats this function. This setting should be enabled when using the SLT mode so that the batteries are charged once each day. With the GRID USAGE TIMER enabled, the START BULK TIME setting should be set near the beginning of the charging time window for best operation. Since the battery will usually be fully charged when this timer setting is reached, the battery charger will usually reach the ABSORPTION stage of the charging process quickly and will then hold the battery near the SET BULK VOLTS DC setting for the ABSORPTION TIME setting (default time period is 2 hours). This setting does not need to be adjusted if you are using FLT mode with a generator. This setting works with the AC1 HOT IN 1 input only.

48 VDC models

Range: 20.0 to 66.0

This is the voltage at which the inverter transfers the loads from the battery to the utility grid. It is used only with the LBX and FLT modes. This setting is not temperature compensated. The transfer will occur only if the battery voltage remains below this setting for 20 seconds. The system returns to powering the AC loads from the battery once the battery voltage has reached the LOW BATTERY CUT IN setting. This setting works with the AC1 HOT IN 1 input only.

This setting controls when the inverter turns back on once it has shut off when 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

See menu 9 to enable LBX mode.

Make sure LBX is above LBCO volts.

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.
