Your SP PRO monitors the lifespan of certain components within your inverter.
By advising you of the amount of
C
apaCitOr
L
iFe
and
F
an
L
iFe
that have been
consumed SP LINK allows you to plan for long term maintenance at a time that will
not inconvenience you.
The technical data stored in the BATTERY panel is essential for analysing system
problems.
The
C
HarGinG
M
Ode
window advises what stage of charge your SP PRO is at, or
will start from next time the generator starts.
We have previously discussed how battery problems can be isolated using

.
SP LINK records how long it has been since your batteries received an equalising
charge and how long before such a charge is due.
The

describes how well your batteries are receiving the
charge current presented; another factor in determining your battery maintenance
/ replacement program.
The
dC i

V

is compared to the
S

V

(a measurement taken
right at the battery bank) and calculates how much

is present.
If this loss figure is too high it may indicate the loads placed on the inverter are
higher than the design criteria and the cable size may need to be increased.
p
Ower
is the actual load on the batteries, expressed in kW. This figure should be
used in comparison with the battery cable loss figure to determine the relevance
of the loss figure.
The Days to Recharge and Days Since Recharge tracks, if Periodic Recharge is
enabled, how many days between switching to Initial stage and how long before
the SP PRO will switch to initial.
The TEMPERATURE CONTROL panel records the power the inverter is dissipating
and allows your Selectronic Authorised Installer to compare this reading with the
temperature of various hardware items within your SP PRO, in conjunction with
the ambient temperature around the inverter and refer this data to the internal fan
speed to analyse system performance.
