Xantrex Technology XW manual Start DCV 2 hr

Configuration

Start DCV 2 hr

Full name	Starting Battery Voltage—2 hours
Purpose	The “Start DCV 2 hr” 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 2 hours.
Dependencies	The “Start DCV 2 hr” 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	Disabled
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.
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.
