• 01I Days to remind when to EQ:
This menu sets the number of days that must pass before
the router will remind you to equalize your batteries.
Note:
Depending on type of battery selected, EQing may not be allowed. If this is the case, “EQ
not allowed in this battery type” appears on the display.
Default setting:
OFF
Range:
OFF, 1-255 Days
Info:
Once equalizing begins, the METER: 03B Days Since: EQ Chg Started timer
resets to zero days.

Link PT Charge Settings:
This menu is used to link the PT charging settings (
07A Battery
Type
and
07B Absorb Done)
with the inverter’s charger settings (
03C Battery Type and 03D
Absorb Done Time
). When linked, the inverter’s charger settings are used to determine how
the inverter/charger and the PT controller will charge the battery.
Default setting:
YES
Range:
YES, NO
Note:
If “
YES
” is selected, the link feature is enabled and the PT charging settings (
07A Battery
Type
and
07B Absorb Done
) display “
Linked
,” and are locked and prevented from being adjusted.
SETUP: 02 Inverter Setup
The following menus (02A – 02D) are used to set up only the functions related to the Inverting
mode of the inverter/charger.
• 02A Search Watts:
Allows turning off the
Search Watts
feature or adjusting the power level
to determine when the inverter leaves Search mode. If not needed, select
Sensitivity = OFF
.
When search is turned off, the inverter continuously provides full AC voltage to the loads.
Default setting:
Sensitivity = 5 Watts
Range:
OFF, 5-50 Watts
Info:
When the
Search Watts
feature is active, “
Searching
” appears on the top line of
the LCD display and the green INV LED will
fl
ash.
What is the Search Watts feature?
This feature is used to help save battery power by reducing
the inverter’s output to search pulses when there is no detectable load. If a load greater than the
wattage level setting turns on while the inverter is ‘searching’, the inverter will start ‘inverting’ to
provide full voltage on its output.
Should I use the Search Watts feature?
If the inverter can spend a great deal of time
searching (to reduce the power drain on your batteries) and you can tolerate small loads (less
than 5 watts) being off, then the Search mode feature should be used. However, if some small
loads (e.g., digital clocks, satellite receivers, answering machines, etc.,) are required to be on,
then this feature should be turned off (
Sensitivity = OFF
).
Where should I set Search Watts?
The
Search Watts
setting should be adjusted to the same
power level (or the next lower setting) of the smallest load that you plan to run. If you don’t know
the wattage of the smallest load, turn the switch for the load on and decrease the
Search Watts
setting until the load comes on and stays on.
Info:
Even with
Search Watts
on, some connected equipment— even if turned off—may
draw enough current to keep the inverter in the Inverting mode (i.e., not “searching”).
• 02B
Low Battery Cut Out:
The
Low Battery Cut Out
(LBCO) menu sets the DC voltage level
that turns off the inverter. This helps protect the batteries from over-discharge damage. If
the battery voltage drops below the LBCO set-point continuously for more than 1 minute, the
FAULT LED comes on, the inverter turns off, and the display shows a ‘
Low Battery
’ status.
If the battery voltage falls below 8.5 volts (12-volt models), 17.0 volts (24-volt models) or
34.0 (48-volt models), the FAULT LED and ‘
Low Battery
’ status indications will be immediate.
Default settings:
LBCO Volts = 10.0 VDC
(12v),
20.0 VDC
(24v),
40.0 VDC
(48v)
Ranges:
9.0
-
12.2 VDC
(12v),
18.0
-
24.4 VDC
(24v),
36.0
-
48.8
VDC (48v)
