Generator Control based on Battery Load
The SP PRO will automatically start and stop the generator based on the average power delivered to the load
over the time period of the limit. Two installer configurable settings determine the power levels at which the
generator will be started.
• A 5 minute rating
• A 15 minute rating
The power level at which these settings take effect is Net Battery Load.
The generator will continue to run until the average load power falls below all start limits and all other stop
criteria are met. It can take several minutes for the average battery load to fall below the set limit once the
loads have been removed.
Generator Automatic Stopping
The SP PRO will automatically stop the generator when it is no longer required for charging the battery or
supplying the load.
If the generator is automatically started in any of the prescribed periods the SP PRO will stop it after it reaches
Stop SoC% unless:
• A generator scheduled run is in progress
• The average load kW exceeds one of the configured start limits
• The minimum generator run time (Generator Min Runtime) has not expired
• The remote run signal is active.
If the generator is automatically started in the Generator Lockout period, the generator will be stopped after
the minimum generator run time or Generator Lockout Override Stop SoC unless:
• A generator scheduled run is in progress.
• The remote run signal is active.
