Charge Rate:
Charge rate is adjustable from 10 to 100%. This feature may be used in many
different ways. Selecting a lower percentage charge rate lowers the inverter AC bat-
tery charger’s current consumption. It will take longer to charge batteries but will
leave user a few extra AC amps when operating from a limited AC power source.
Shore Power Amps:
This is a load shedding feature of the battery charger in the inverter. For exam-
ple: Shore Power Amps set to 30 amps will decrease the AC current available for
the internal battery charger’s use, as pass through AC current value approaches 30
amps. Lowering shore power amps will limit the available AC current for the inter-
nal battery charger’s use. This is adjustable from 5 to 30 amps, in 5 amp incre-
ments.
RC7 GS Setup:
This option allows the user to select the desired screen display. The Last Key
will leave the menu active with the last status viewed on the display. The Rolling
Display will continue to scroll through the active menu status display. Power Saver
allows the display to “sleep” after viewing the status. Touch any key to “awaken”
the RC7GS remote, then press the desired key.
LCD Contrast:
This changes the display screen contrast. Six settings are available. Lighter con-
trast settings may leave the screen difficult to see in a bright atmosphere.
External Shunt:
The inverter monitors both AC and DC current values, whether charging or dis-
charging (figures are approximate), by using internal or external shunts. A shunt
monitors partial current consumption, allowing the majority of current to pass on
heavier conductors. Programming shunt selection affects which shunt the inverter is
using to monitor DC current values. Single inverter systems use their internal shunt
to monitor system DC current values. When programming single inverter systems
select External Shunt None. Dual inverter systems use an external shunt to monitor
system current values. When programming the shunt selection of a dual inverter
system, the master inverter is programmed by the remote installed in the monitor
panel. The master inverter will be programmed as External Shunt This Inverter. The
slave inverter will be programmed as External Shunt Other Inverter.
Fuel Gauge Cutout:
Battery chemistries and types have different static voltage readings at
different states of charge. The battery voltage may be used to determine an approxi-
mate state of charge for that battery type and chemistry. The Fuel Gauge Cutout
voltage is a reference point the inverter uses to determine a battery with no reserve
capacity amp hours remaining. Changing the value of the Fuel Gauge Cutout will
