Where should I set Quiet Time?
Set the Quiet Time start and stop settings
to coincide with local noise requirements, or for a specific time period that
you do not want the generator to automatically run each day.
Set Quiet Time Topoff
This menu sets the time the generator will
autostart and run before Quiet Time starts. The generator will only
start on
Quiet Time Topoff
if the battery voltage (or battery SOC
¹
) start
parameter is within a specified range.
Default setting:
Set Quiet Time Topoff = OFF
Range:
OFF, 30 - 120 Minutes (30 min. increments)
Scenario example (Topoff based on battery SOC¹):
The
04D Gen Run
SOC
menu is set to start at 60%, Quiet Time is set to start at 10PM, and the
Quiet Time Topoff
setting is
120 min
. At 8PM, the battery SOC reaches 64%;
because the Quiet Time Topoff feature is enabled (120 min.), the generator
autostarts to allow the batteries to charge for at least 120 min. before Quiet
Time turns the generator off.
What is Quiet Time Topoff and why should I use it?
The Topoff feature
helps ensure the batteries have enough charge to last (i.e., prevent the inverter
from shutting down from a low battery condition) through the entire Quiet
Time period. When the Topoff feature is enabled by setting a time, the battery
voltage (or battery SOC
¹
) is monitored just before the start of Quiet Time;
and if required, the generator will automatically start to charge the batteries.
This Quiet Time Topoff menu allows you to set a time at which the generator
will autostart before Quiet Time starts. This applies whenever the start pa-
rameters are close to starting the generator at the start of Quiet Time. If the
battery voltage is within 0.3 volts
²
or less of reaching the
04A Gen Run VDC
start parameter, the generator will autostart. The Quiet Time Topoff feature
will also autostart the generator if the batterys SOC is within 4% or less of
reaching the
04D Gen Run SOC
start parameter
¹
.
Scenario example (Topoff based on battery voltage):
The
04A Gen Run
VDC
menu is set to start at 11.5 VDC, Quiet Time is set to start at 10PM, and
the
Quiet Time Topoff
setting is
60 min
. At 9PM, the battery voltage reaches
11.8 VDC; because the Quiet Time Topoff feature is enabled (60 min.), the
generator autostarts to allow the batteries to charge for 60 minutes before
Quiet Time turns the generator off.
Note
¹
:
Generator autostarting based on Quiet Time Topoff using battery
SOC (State of Charge) parameters requires the optional Battery Monitor Kit
(ME-BMK or ME-BMK-NS) to be installed and enabled.
Note
²
:
This voltage is scaled depending on your battery system;
0.3 for
12-volt systems, 0.6 for 24-volt systems, and 1.2 for 48-volt systems.
Set Start Quiet Hour
Set the hour for Quiet Time to start.
Set Start Quiet Minute
Set the minute for Quiet Time to start.
Set Start Quiet AM-PM
Set AM or PM for the start of Quiet Time.
Set Stop Quiet Hour
Set the hour for Quiet Time to stop.
Set Stop Quiet Minute
Set the minute for Quiet Time to stop.
Set Stop Quiet AM-PM
Set AM or PM for the stop of Quiet Time.
Why should I use Quiet Time?
Quiet Time is used when there are park
rules or local regulations that prevent generators from running (sleep hrs.).
If there are no local rules or regulations, you may not want to use Quiet Time
which would allow the generator to run at any time in a 24-hour period.
