on the optional remote display to initialize another
cycle.
If AC power is connected, the XC Series will turn on, check which battery
banks are present and healthy, and begin charging.
While the XC Series is off, and a fault is present, the remote display will
turn itself on approximately once per minute to show the fault and then turn
itself off.
Using A Generator As Source Power
The XC Series can be run from a regular power source or from an alternate
power source such as a generator. Refer to Appendix A, “Specifications” for
AC input draw to determine the size of generator you need. Many generators
provide output voltage that is modified sine wave or modified square wave
(MSW) rather than the true sine wave (TSW) that your utility provides.
The XC Series may be used with MSW generators but the lifetime may be
reduced somewhat depending on the severity of any peak voltage
overshoots, and the severity of waveshape risetimes.
