Remote Buttons and Menu Items
The
fi
ve menu pushbuttons (SHORE, AGS, METER, SETUP, or TECH) allow the
inverter/charger system to be con
fi
gured to your speci
fi
c preferences. These
menus also allow you to access menu items that can help with monitoring
and troubleshooting your system.
This section covers each menu button’s function and its various con
fi
gurable
settings. This helps to optimize the operation of the inverter/charger.
3.3.1 SHORE
Button
This menu button enables you to quickly change your
Shore Max
setting to
coordinate with the circuit breaker rating from the incoming AC source.
• SHORE:
Shore
Max
– This setting determines the level in AC amps at
which the inverter/charger begins to back off the battery charger to reduce
the load on the incoming AC power. Whenever the incoming AC is connected
and passing thru the inverter, the incoming AC current that is used to power
the AC loads and charge the batteries is monitored. If this current begins to
approach the
Shore Max
setting, the battery charger current is automatically
reduced. This ensures the AC loads have all the current that the incoming
AC power can provide.
If using a MSH (Hybrid) Series inverter, the
Shore Max
setting will also
determine when the battery current begins to operate in parallel with the
incoming AC power to support the inverter loads, known as Load Support.
The Load Support feature uses additional power from the inverter’s battery
to run loads greater than what the incoming AC power can run alone, and
prioritizes the power of any external DC source (e.g., alternator, solar, etc.,)
over the incoming AC power to run inverter loads. For more information, see
the Load Support Mode section in the Owner’s Manual of the MSH models.
Setting for all models except dual-source inverters:
◊
Shore
Max
Default setting:
30 Amps
Ranges:
5-60 Amps (5 amp increments from 5 Amps to 20 Amps, and
10 amp increments from 20 Amps to 60 Amps).
Setting for dual-source inverters (i.e., MSH4024RE):
◊
Shore
Max
(AC1 input) and
Shore Max2
(AC2 input)
Default settings:
Shore Max =
30 Amps, Shore Max2=30 Amps
Ranges:
5-60 Amps (5 amp increments from 5 Amps to 20 Amps, and
10 amp increments from 20 Amps to 60 Amps).
