Operation
Load Start
The inverter will start the generator when running a high load. It will stop the generator when the
load decreases.
When the
L
OAD
terminals register an amount greater than
Start kW
for the
High load start delay
time,
the generator will start.
Following this operation:
When the
L
OAD
terminals register an amount less than
Stop kW
for the
High load start delay
time, the
generator will stop.
NOTES:
This function is meant to protect against rapid and unnecessary battery
discharge. It does not protect against overload if the load is simply too large.
Large, instantaneous loads can still overload the Mojave inverter if the
generator does not start in time. The loads should be sized appropriately.
When this function runs the generator, the inverter will charge the batteries.
However, it is not programmed to perform a complete charge cycle. The
charge might not be complete if the inverter reaches the
Stop kW
point and
shuts down.
These settings will only operate when the
Start on high load
item is enabled.
Quiet Time
During evening hours or other times when generator noise is not desired, the generator can be
prevented from starting automatically.
The 24-hour and 2-hour start settings will not start the generator during these times.
Similarly, the
Start SoC
,
Start on high load
, and
Exercise
functions will not start the generator.
The generator can be started normally with the
Generator
item under the
ACTIONS
view.
The generator can be started normally using its own controls
Quiet time start
will begin a single, daily quiet time. This period will end upon reaching
Quiet time stop
.
Alternate quiet times for weekends or other occasions are not available.
NOTE:
The 2-minute start setting will start the generator regardless of quiet time. This is
considered an emergency start due to low battery voltage. It overrides quiet time to
perform required battery charging.
These settings will only operate when the
Quiet time
item is enabled.
Exercise Start
The generator can be started on a regular basis to ensure that it does not sit unmaintained too long.
When the inverter reaches the
Exercise start time
on the designated
Exercise day
, the generator will
start. It will continue running for the
Exercise duration
.
The generator will not close the relay during an exercise period. It will not charge batteries or deliver
generator power to the loads.
