Generator Scheduling
Two schedule types are available each with four configurable start and stop times.
RUN SCHEDULE
For daily generator running intended to accommodate day to day peak load
periods. While the SoC method of generator control is recommended to efficiently
and reliably maintain the battery charge, generator schedules may be used as an
alternative generator control method or as an adjunct to SoC control to cater for
expected loads.
UNAVAILABLE SCHEDULE
For emergency generator running intended for use when the SP PRO is in a
shutdown state for an extended period due to some abnormal condition as may
be the case if the SP PRO is unattended for long periods. The backup schedule
will periodically run the generator to power vital appliances such as refrigerator or
freezer etc.
SETTING SCHEDULES
Both Run Schedule and Unavailable Schedule are configured by setting up to four start times and associated
run durations.
For each start time a corresponding stop time must be set.
If start/stop time combinations cause an overlap in generator run periods the generator will continue to run
through both periods.
For Run Schedules, the stop time may be disabled. Disabling a stop time
allows the generator to start
at the scheduled time and automatically stop on completion of a battery charge cycle and/or load power
requirements.
Note: Generator Schedules will override the generator minimum run time. Consider the generator
manufacturer’s recommendation regarding minimum run time when setting schedules.
