Xantrex Technology XW manual Start DCV 30 sec, Values, Default

Configuration

Start DCV 30 sec

Full Name	Starting Battery Voltage—30 seconds
Purpose	The “Start DCV 30 sec” trigger enables the XW Auto Generator Start to
	start the generator whenever the battery voltage reaches or drops below a
	pre-set voltage for longer than 30 seconds.
	The XW Auto Generator Start will stop the generator when the stop
	trigger is provided (“Stop V”, “Stop Absorb”, or “Stop Float”).
Dependencies	The “Start DCV 30 sec” trigger requires the XW Auto Generator Start to
	be in Automatic mode and needs the “Stop Absorb” or “Stop Float”
	trigger be enabled or a parameter to be set for the “Stop V” trigger.
	Values	Default
	Disabled, 4.0 V to 65.0 V(increments of 0.1 V)	44.0 V
Considerations	If the voltage trigger is set too high, the generator will start more
	frequently than is convenient.
	If the voltage trigger is set too low, the batteries may be damaged by
	repeated cycles of excessive discharge. The generator running time
	necessary to charge the batteries may exceed “Max Run Time” and use
	too much fuel in the process.
	If using the XW Inverter/Charger Low Batt Cut Out voltage setting to
	trigger a start-on-voltage setting on the XW Auto Generator Start, be sure
	to set the XW Auto Generator Start voltage trigger higher than the XW
	Inverter/Charger Low Batt Cut out voltage. Otherwise the inverter output
	turns off and then back on when the generator auto-starts.
	If using an automatic generator starting system with the start trigger set to
	the same voltage as the LBCO voltage, do not set the LBCO Delay for
	less than the amount of time it takes the generator to start and connect.
	Otherwise, inverter output turns off and then back on when the generator
	auto-starts.
Battery Voltage	Battery voltage can be monitored from the System screen or the inverter/
Information	charger menu.

If “Stop Float” or “Stop Absorb” has been enabled, the generator will stop when the Float or Absorption stages of the battery charging have begun.

If the “Stop V” is used, the generator will stop when the battery voltage reaches the parameter set in this trigger, regardless of whether the batteries are charged.
