01 SEARCH WATTS
UNIT SETUP
02 LowBatCutOut
UNIT SETUP
03 VAC Dropout
If a load greater than the wattage level setting turns on while the Inverter
/ Charger is searching, the inverter starts inverting mode, to power the
appliance.
If the
Inverter/Charger
spends a lot of time searching and you can tolerate small
loads <5 watts, being off, then use the search watts feature. If you have
small loads (digital clocks, satellite receivers, wifi routers) which need to be
on, then the search watts feature should be turned off.
2. LOW BATTERY CUTOUT (LBCO)
The lowbattcutout setting sets the DC voltage level that turns off the
Inverter/
Charger
to protect the battery bank from over-discharge damage. If the battery
bank voltage drops below the LBCO selected set-point continuously for more
than one minute, the fault LED comes on and the Inverter / Charger turns off.
The default setting for the lowbattcutout is 10.5 VDC and the range is 9.00
to 12.2 VDC (increments by 0.01 VDC).
If you want to cycle the batteries slightly - but don’t want to discharge them
more than 20% - then set the LBCO from 11.5 - 12.2 VDC.
In some applications, such as those installed in an off-grid home or when
doing a lot of boon-docking (dry camping) in your RV, you may want to cycle
down to 50% by setting the LBCO from 10.0 to 11.4 VDC. Higher discharge
rates will decrease battery life.
In extreme circumstances you have the ability to discharge the batteries to
80% by setting the LBCO between 9.0 - 9.5 VDC. Higher discharge rates
will decrease battery life.
3. VAC DROPOUT
The VAC dropout is used to select the minimum AC voltage that must be
present at the AC Input before the
Inverter/Charger
switches the inverting mode
off. This setting also determines the minimum AC voltage threshold where
the AC Pass through disengages and the inverting mode is switched on to
provide AC power. This feature protects any sensitive AC appliances from
shore power fluctuations.
The default setting for the VAC dropout is 85 VAC and the range is 80 to
100 VAC (increments by 1 VDC).
If the setting is set to 80 VAC, when the AC input voltage drops to 80 volts
the IC Series will switch from AC pass through mode to Inverting mode.
4. MAX CHARGE TIME
The max charge time is a safety feature that ensures abnormal conditions
do not cause the charger to hold batteries at a high voltage for a prolonged
period of time.
