Pressing any button enables the panel. This first button activation shows the status. To
change, press the button again.
7.1.3 Battery Charger Draw - Set Input:
The SPS automatically limits the
battery charger AC current draw to a maximum of 25 Amps and the SPS also has the
automatic power share feature (see section 2.3.3 page 12). The user may want to
further limit the charger’s maximum AC current draw because of a limited capacity
“shore” power source (ie: 15 Amps rather than 30 or 50 Amps).
Decrease the input AC charge current limit in increments of 5 Amps by pressing the
“CHARGER DRAW – SET INPUT” button on the Inverter/Charger Control Panel (see
figure 2, item 4, page 7).
7.1.4 LCD Remote Control/Status Panel Display Messages:
MESSAGE
MESSAGE EXPLANATION
a)
This indicates that the SPS is in “inverter mode”. The panel displays the
wattage of the load and the voltage of the batteries. The “inverter mode”
will activate only if there is no external AC power connected to the SPS.
b)
This indicates that the battery charger is OFF because there is no external AC
power connected to the SPS. The inverter is also turned OFF.
c)
When external AC power is connected to the SPS the three-stage battery
charger may be activated. This indicates that the charge current limit has
been set to 0 amps (see section 7.1.3 on this page). The battery charger is
not active.
d)
This indicates that the three-stage charger is in the bulk mode. The bulk
mode is the first stage of the battery charging process. The display also
indicates the battery voltage and the amount of DC charge current flowing
into the batteries. See tables II & III on page 15 for more information.
e)
This indicates that the charger is in the acceptance mode, the second stage
of the battery charging process. The display also indicates the battery voltage
and the amount of DC charge current flowing into the batteries. See tables II
& III on page 15 for more information.
f)
This indicates that the charger is in the float mode, the third stage of the
battery charging process. The display also indicates the battery voltage and
the amount of DC charge current flowing into the batteries. See tables II &
III on page 15 for more information.
