5.0 Operation
• Full
Charge
– This status indicates that you have entered the Battery
Saver™ mode. This mode maintains the batteries without overcharging, and
prevents excessive loss of water in
fl
ooded batteries or drying out of GEL/
AGM batteries. After four hours of Float charging, the charger will turn off
and “
Full Charge
” displays (charger is now in Battery Saver™ mode). If the
battery voltage drops to
≥
12.6 (12-volt models),
≥
25.2 (24-volt models)
or
≥
50.4 (48-volt models), the charger will automatically initiate another
four hours of Float charging. This cycle helps to ensure the batteries are
maintained and continues as long as AC power is continuously connected to
the AC input. “Full Charge” only displays if
Multi-Stage
is selected from the
03G Final Charge Stage
menu.
• Load Support AAC
– The inverter is in the Load Support (Amps AC)
mode because the inverter load is requiring more power than the incoming
AC source can provide on its own. The inverter pulls the additional current—
that is needed for the loads—from the inverter batteries to keep the incoming
AC current from exceeding the
SETUP: 03A AC Input Amps
setting.
Info:
The
Load Support AAC
feature operates in parallel with the AC
input to support the inverter loads and is only available on MSH Series
inverter/chargers. It is only active when the inverter is enabled (INV
LED is on).
Info:
When the inverter is in Inverter Standby mode (charging and
pass-thru), the current is normally a positive value. However, in Load
Support AAC mode, the inverter amps reading is a negative number
to indicate how much current is being provided/removed from the
inverter batteries. The inverter batteries will continue to provide
current to assist the AC input current until the battery reaches 0.5
volts (12-volt systems), 1.0 volts (24-volt systems) , and 2.0 volts
(48-volt systems) above the
SETUP: 02B LBCO
setting.
•
Load Support VDC
– The inverter/charger is in the Load Support (Volts
DC) mode because an external DC source (solar, wind, etc.) is providing
more current than needed—which causes the battery voltage to rise. The
inverter/charger reduces the incoming AC current in an effort to keep the
battery voltage from rising above the temperature-compensated
SETUP:
03B Battery Type
setting.
Info:
The
Load Support VDC
feature operates in parallel with the AC
input to support the inverter loads and is only available on MSH Series
inverter/chargers. This feature is only active in Bulk, Absorb, Float or
EQ Charge modes and when the inverter is enabled (INV LED is on); it
is deactivated if the charger is in Charger Standby.
• Silent
– This displays at the end of the Absorption stage if
Silent
is
selected from the
03G Final Charge Stage
menu. In Silent mode, the charger
is not actively charging but does monitor the battery voltage. When the
battery voltage reaches the
Set DC Volts to ReBulk
setting (from
03G Final
Charge Stage
menu) the charger will restart a Bulk and Absorb charge cycle,
and then transition back into Silent mode at the end of the Absorb cycle.
