Settings Required for Setting up Inverters and Charge
Controllers
The maximum and continuous charge and discharge currents for the respective models are
provided in Table 3.1. Ensure that the combination of the mains (shore power) charger,
alternator, and the Solar Charge Controller (SCC) does not exceed the maximum continuous
charge current.
Use the voltage settings provided in Table 3.3 for the setup of the inverters and chargers.
Note that if any of the voltage thresholds are exceeded the following sequence will occur:
The battery will use CAN Bus or the analogue outputs to stop charge or discharge as
applicable
If CAN is not available, it will use a digital control output if connected to open a relay
that controls the charging or discharging devices
If this is not available, the battery will trip by switching off its own breaker.
Frequent occurrences of the last situation are not desirable.
The low battery warning can also be set according to user requirements on the inverter
depending on how much battery power may be used before grid power will take over from
the battery (if it is available). It should be determined based on how much battery SoC is
desired at all times as a minimum to ensure adequate capacity to handle a grid outage or
load shedding. The daily cycling depth is also a consideration for the user in terms of battery
service life.
