GEN Port
Generator Input Mode
1.
Go to
Hybrid Setting > GEN Port
page and choose
Generator Input
as below.
Note: You need to shut down the Inverter to set the Generator Input Mode.
Generator Input Mode:
Under this mode, the GEN port works as an input port from the generator
while under off-grid condition. The generator input can charge the battery or take the backup load.
The generator has two start-stop ways, one is controlled by dry contact of inverter, the other is controlled
by manual. For the former, the start and stop of the generator is completely controlled by the inverter. For
the latter, the generator is started and stopped by manual control.
Note: The capacity of generator should be larger than that of hybrid inverter.
2.
All parameters have been set by default.
Maximum Input power from Generator (W):
Maximum input power from generator. Forbid the
generator power larger than the setting value (W).
Maximum GEN charger power (W):
Maximum battery charge power from generato .
Generator start SOC (%):
Battery SOC below which the generator starts to charge the battery.
Meanwhile, the generator running time should not exceed the maximum runtime setting value (Min).
Generator end SOC (%):
Battery SOC above which the generator stops charging the battery.
Generator Max Runtime (Min):
When the generator running time reaches to the setting value, the
inverter will disconnect the input from generator. But the generator will keep working for a while defined
by ”Generator down time (Min)”.
Generator Down time (Min):
When the inverter disconnect the input from generator, the generator will
keep working for a while by the down time setting value (Min). For generators that switch on and off by
dry contact, it will stop working automatically when the generator working time reaches to the down time
setting value (Min).For generators that are manually switched on and off, it will stop working by manual
regardless of the down time setting value (Min).
Note: The total generator running time is equal to “Generator Max Runtime (Min)” plus
“Generator down time (Min)”.
