Low Battery
While inverting, the inverter will not be able to sustain its operation if the battery voltage goes below a
certain point. The inverter will stop functioning and generate an error. The EVENTS LED will illuminate to
indicate an event has occurred. (See Figure 134 on page 139 for reviewing event details.)
This function, Low Battery Cut-Out, is often referred to as LBCO. The function is intended to protect the
the batteries, as excessive discharge may damage a battery. It also protects the inverter’s output and
loads. Continuing to invert on a low DC voltage may produce a distorted waveform.
The range of adjustability will vary with inverter model. See the inverter Operator’s Manual for the specific
range of adjustability.
The inverter will also stop functioning and give an error due to high battery voltage. However, the high-
battery cut-out voltage is not adjustable.
To access the
Low Battery menu:
1. Access the Inverter menu as shown in Figure 71 on page 75.
2. Use the control wheel to highlight the Low Battery menu.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
3. Use the control wheel to increase or decrease the set points to the correct voltage.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
This should automatically move the highlighting to the next set point.
Repeat for each set point.
4. After setting the parameters for each set point, press the
TOP
navigation key to return to the
Main Menu screen.

Set Points:

Cut-Out Voltage: Sets the voltage at which the inverter shuts off due to a low-battery condition. If
the batteries drop to this voltage for five consecutive minutes, the inverter will stop functioning. The
inverter’s ERROR LED will illuminate. The MATE3 will display an event, with a
Low Battery V error
appearing in the Inverter Errors menu.

Cut-In Voltage: Sets the voltage at which the inverter recovers from LBCO. If the batteries rise to this
voltage for ten consecutive minutes (usually through charging), the inverter will begin functioning
again. The
Low Battery V error will clear itself.
