VEConfigure Inverter Parameter Setting
DC input low shut-down

44V

DC input low restart

48V

DC input low pre-alarm*

48V

* The pre-alarm setting is dependant on your preference and on site specific requirements. You may
wish for this to be activated earlier in an off grid situation to allow time to start a backup generator.

ESS System Settings

If you are using the battery as part of a 

grid connected ESS system

, please review the 

ESS Quickstart

guide

 and 

Design and Installation Manual

.

The settings that are specific to the Pylontech battery in the VEConfigure ESS Assistant are below:

Select the externally managed Lithium battery option

ESS Parameter

Settings

Sustain voltage.

48V

Dynamic cut-off values set all values to 46V.
Restart offset:

1.2V (Default)

Due to the reliability of the grid supply and the behaviour of the sustain voltage threshold in ESS; you
may wish to suppress the low voltage pre-alarm warning so that it does not trigger every day on its
regular deep cycle. See 

ESS FAQ Q5

 - about suppressing the low-voltage alarm.

Hardware Protection Points

In normal operation, the charge parameter limits are set by the Pylontech battery and communicated
through the system by the 

GX device

 to the inverter/charger and MPPT.
