Adjusting load sensitivity (cont.)
3.
Adjust the pot until the LED is steady green, now turn the pot back the opposite way until the LED flashes green.
Allow 10 seconds in between adjustments for stabilisation.
Clockwise = less sensitive, anti clockwise = increased sensitivity.
Note: the trim pot is extremely sensitive.
When the LED flashes
GREEN
, the unit is in standby mode.
4.
Turn on the smallest AC load in the home. The unit should now deliver power, and the AC Status LED should be
GREEN. However, if the LED is ORANGE the sensitivity must be increased.
5.
Now turn OFF the AC load. The LED should return to flashing GREEN, if this does not occur, reduce sensitivity.
Troubleshooting
AC Load does not stay ON
Some AC loads may not be large enough to hold the inverter ON. This condition may be recognised by the load turning off after
every eight to ten seconds, then back on again. AC Status LED will also be flashing orange.
There are two possible solutions to this:
a)
Increase the sensitivity of the inverter by turning the Standby Pot slightly counter clockwise until the LED shows steady
green;
b)
Increase the amount of AC load on the inverter.
Inverter shuts down due to Over Temperature
Your inverter will safely provide the output power as described in the technical data section in the conditions specified. If your
inverter shuts down and indicates over temperature, it may be that you have exceeded one of the parameters.
Check for the following:
•
Ensure the inverter has adequate ventilation; insufficient ventilation can severely restrict the power output of your inverter.
•
Ensure the true power rating of your appliance (including power factor) does not exceed the rating of your inverter.
Inverter shuts down when trying to start a load.
When starting a load such as a motor it may cause the inverter to shut down. If this is the case:
a)
ensure the battery voltage is within spec when the appliance is trying to start, if not, you may need to increase the size
of your batteries.
b)
If battery voltage is OK then the inverter may be too small, consult your Solar Energy Australia representative.
Screeching noise on radio when inverter is operating.
Your Solar Energy Australia inverter is manufactured to the highest standards for the reduction of EMI (Electro Magnetic
Interference). It is still possible however that in extreme cases, interference may be noticeable in radios or Television sets. Below
are some suggestions to try to reduce this noise.
