Note¹:
This voltage is scaled depending on your battery system;
≤
0.3 for 12-volt systems,

≤
1.2 for 48-volt systems.
Why would I use Quiet Time?
Quiet Time is used when there are park rules or local regulations
that prevent generators from running (e.g., noise requirements during sleep hours). 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.
Where should I set Quiet Time?
Set the Quiet Time begin and end 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.
What is Quiet Time Topoff?
The Quiet Time Topoff feature charges the battery prior to the
start of Quiet Time in an attempt to prevent the inverter from shutting down from a low battery
condition during the entire Quiet Time period. The Quiet Time Topoff feature is enabled whenever
you select a time under the
Set Time to Topoff Battery before Quiet Time
menu.
The
Set Time to Topoff Battery before Quiet Time
(or “topoff time period”) determines how long
the battery voltage is monitored before the start of Quiet Time. During the topoff time period,
if battery voltage is 0.3 volts
¹
or less of reaching the
04A Gen Run DC Volts
start parameter,
the generator automatically starts and charges the batteries before Quiet Time turns off the
generator.
If an optional Battery Monitor Kit (ME-BMK or ME-BMK-NS) is installed and enabled, the Quiet
Time Topoff feature also autostarts the generator if the battery’s SOC is within 4% or less of
reaching the
04D Gen Run SOC
start parameter during the topoff time period.
Where should I set Quiet Time Topoff?
Normally, setting Quiet Time topoff to 30 or 60
minutes is a good idea. In cases where the DC or inverter loads are unusually high or the SOC
autostart setting is low—which may cause the batteries to be heavily discharged during the Quiet
Time period—you may want to increase Quiet Time topoff to 90 or 120 minutes; this ensures the
batteries receive the maximum charge time before Quiet Time shuts the generator off.
Info:
When the generator starts on QT topoff, it continues running until it reaches the
Quiet Time start parameter—even if the VDC or SOC autostop parameter is reached.
Scenario example (Topoff based on battery voltage):
The
04A Gen Run DC Volts
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.) and the battery voltage is within 0.3 volts of the
04A Gen Run DC Volts
start
setting, the generator autostarts to allow the batteries to charge for 60 minutes before Quiet
Time turns the generator off.
Scenario example (Topoff based on battery SOC):
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.)
and the battery’s SOC is within 4% of reaching the
04D Gen Run SOC
start setting, the generator
autostarts to allow the batteries to charge for at least 120 minutes before Quiet Time turns the
generator off.
