values; therefore, the “External Shunt Other Inverter” should be selected when
not using the shunt of that inverter.
Fuel Gauge Cutout:
Battery chemistries and types have different static voltage readings at differ-
ent states of charge. The battery voltage may be used to determine an approxi-
mate state of charge for that battery type and chemistry. The Fuel Gauge Cutout
voltage is a reference point to determine a battery with no reserve capacity amp
hours remaining. Changing the value of the Fuel Gauge Cutout will affect the
fuel meter, automatic generator start and stop points if set by SOC (state of
charge) and time left to run or charge. The Fuel Gauge will read 0 when preset
and the Fuel Gauge Cutout voltage reaches the 50 percent SOC battery voltage.
NOTE: The remaining field items are used to program the Automatic
Generator Start parameters.

The house batteries operate most of the interior lighting and most appli-
ances. As the house battery power is consumed the reserve battery capacity
diminishes. The inverter can be programmed to automatically start and stop the
generator to keep up with the drain on the house batteries. All field reference
points are house battery indications or conditions. A wide field of parameters
may be chosen for the generator start and stop points. These points may be put
in three categories:
1. House battery voltage.
2. State of charge (SOC). The Fuel Gauge Cut-out affects SOC.
3. Absorb or Float point of the charge cycle.
Example: The inverter can be programmed to start the generator when house
battery voltage falls to 11.4 Volts. As the battery voltage rises, the inverter can
be programmed to stop battery charging when house battery condition obtains a
percentage of state of charge (SOC). When selecting the field reference points,
make sure that the start and stop points are spread apart. It is possible to set
parameters too close, causing short cycling of the generator. The menu will dis-
play the status of the generator while pending generator start. The generator
must be operating correctly for proper automatic generator operation.
NOTE: If the generator is started manually from any remote switch
other than the RC7 GS remote, while automatic generator start fea-
ture is enabled, the generator will shut down due to field parameter
settings.
To override the automatic generator operation so that the generator may be
used manually, use the RC7 GS remote Inverter button to start or stop the gen-
