3.0 Setup
CTRL: 01 ACIn Control
01 ACIn Control
menu has four different conditions in which the inverter/char-
ger will connect to an incoming AC power source. Only one may be selected at
any one time—multiple conditions can be enabled, but only one can be active.
Info:
Before the inverter allows the AC input to connect to the AC
source (grid or generator), the incoming AC must be quali
fi
ed by the
inverter/charger (voltage is below the high AC input requirements,
above the SETUP button’s
03D
VAC Dropout
setting, and between
50 Hz to 70 Hz for domestic models—40-60 Hz for export models).
Info:
The top status line of the LCD display will alternate the in-
verter/charger status with a secondary AC IN status when AC is
present, but is not connecting as a result of a selection made in
the SETUP menu.
Example:
AC is present, but
Time Connect
has been selected from
the
01 ACIn Control
menu and the current time of day is 6PM. The
SETUP menu’s
02C AC In-Time
current setting is
2AM - 8AM
. The
current time of 6PM is outside the connect time, so the inverter/
charger will not connect to the incoming AC until after 2AM. The
primary
status will display “
Inverting
” and the secondary
status will
display “
Time Connect
” to let you know the reason that incoming
AC has not connected.
• Auto
Connect
– Automatically connects to incoming AC power when the
incoming AC is quali
fi
ed by the inverter/charger (voltage is below the
high AC input requirements, above the SETUP button’s
03D
VAC Dropout
setting, and between 50 Hz to 70 Hz for domestic models—40-60 Hz for
export models).
• VDC
Connect
– Only allows the incoming AC to connect when the DC
battery voltage falls below the
Set Connect Volts
setting in the SETUP
menu’s
02D AC In - VDC
menu item. Disconnects from incoming AC when
the DC battery voltage rises above the
Set Disconnect Volts
setting, also
from the
02D AC In - VDC
menu.
Info
: See SETUP menu 02D on page 26 for a complete explanation
of the
Set Connect/Disconnect Volts
menu settings.
• Time
Connect
– Only allows incoming AC to connect when the time of
day is between the
Set Connect
and
Set
Disconnect
time settings in the
SETUP menu’s
02C AC In - Time
menu item.
Info
: See SETUP menu 02C on page 25 for a complete explanation
of the
Set Connect/Disconnect
time menu settings.
• SOC
Connect
–
Only allows incoming AC to connect when the battery
bank State of Charge (SOC) falls below the
Set Connect SOC
setting in
the SETUP menu’s
02E AC In - SOC
menu item. Disconnects from incom-
ing AC when the battery bank SOC rises above the
Set Disconnect SOC
setting, also from the
02E AC In - SOC
menu. This feature requires the
optional ME-BMK (battery monitor) to be installed.
Info
: See SETUP menu 02E on page 26 for a complete explanation
of the
Set Connect SOC
menu settings.
• AC
In-Disabled
– Disconnects incoming AC when selected. This setting
will prevent incoming AC from connecting to the inverter/charger.
