Generator Control Settings
The last tab in the AC Source section is the Generator Controller Settings
If there is an automatic generator permanently connected to the system
the generator Control Setting should be set to Enabled. If there is no
automatic generator connected it should be disabled.
The Generator Available control allows 2 states. Follow Input allows
you to switch the generator availability on and off with an input signal
(normally 12 volts from the generator) Assume Always allows the inverter
to operate as if the generator is always available.
Minimum Runtime determines the shortest time the generator will run.
This is to ensure the generator wont start and stop too frequently.
The
PRE-SYNCHRONISED WARM UP TIME
is the length of time, after the
generator starts, before the generator is connected to any load.
This is then followed by the
WARM UP TIME,
the length of time, after the
PRE-SYNCHRONISED WARM UP TIME
, before a charging sequence
starts. Once synchronised, the AC Load is transferred to the generator
during the
WARM UP TIME
. The staged warm up sequence allows the
generator to circulate the oil within the motor thoroughly and to allow the
motor to reach operating temperature before being loaded then heavily
loaded by the charger.
COOL DOWN TIME
disconnects the load from a generator for a period
of time before shutdown to allow turbochargers to cool down before
switching off. The COOL DOWN is overridden if generator is stopped
using front panel push button.
GENERATOR LOCK OUT
provides a “quiet time” when the generator will
not run unless the batteries get to a dangerously low level. This setting is
generally used for overnight operation.
