24VDC PRO-Verter 5000-120 AGS Operator Manual
PRO-Verter Charge Mode Status Messages
When AC power (grid utility or generator) is connected to the PRO-Verter, it automatically begins
to monitor the AC input for acceptable voltage. After the AC input is accepted, the AC transfer
relay (inside the PRO-Verter) closes and Charge mode begins.
The PRO-Verter is programmed for constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV), two-stage
charging. The charging voltage and current profiles are show in Figure 21. This setting
consolidates all the battery charge settings required for a two-stage charging cycle.
Constant Current
Charge Mode Status Messages
reported on LCD user interface
This is the period when the maximum programmed charge current (110 A) is applied to the System
batteries. The battery voltage increases rapidly toward the maximum programmed charge voltage
(29.0 VDC). The lower the battery voltage, the higher the current.
Constant Voltage
This is the period when the battery voltage approaches its programmed maximum voltage value.
The charging current declines as the battery approaches its full-charge capacity. The generator is
programmed to automatically stop the fuel-driven generator when the battery voltage reaches 28.8
VDC and automatically start the generator when the battery voltage falls to 25.0 VDC.
The LCD screen will display constant current most of the time during charging. Constant voltage
may be seen as the System batteries approach full charge.
Note:
Whenever the CC/CV battery type is selected, some other settings will be automatically
changed to values optimized for the CC/CV charge protocol. If a different “battery type” (Setup
03C) is selected, all charge settings must be reviewed to ensure they are correct for the new
battery-type selection.
