PRELIMINARY

j How to Program PRO-Verter to Match AC Source Output Current

Set the “Grid Max Current” setting to the same value as the maximum continuous output current
of the AC grid power source connected to the PRO-Verter. Set “Gen Max Current” value using the
recommended settings in Table 1. These settings are required to optimize generator/PRO-Verter
interactions and System performance. If the PRO-Verter current setting is greater than the power
source, the source will be overloaded and fault. If the PRO-Verter current setting is lower than the
power source, System performance will be reduced or not be able to support loads that fall within
the rated performance of the PRO-Verter.

System Con�guration, Setup, Operation, and Safety Information

Notice



KEEP IT COOL.

If used in direct sunlight, shade the PRO-Verter to reduce solar loading and

subsequent derating of PRO-Verter output.



Clean or replace PRO-Verter air intake �lters regularly to maintain optimal performance.

Spare �lters may be located behind I-Plate.



HEAT-RELATED DERATING:

Internal temperatures over

122 �F (50 �C) will signi�cantly reduce

the power the PRO-Verter can supply to charge batteries and to buffer surge loads.



DO NOT USE THE PRO-VERTER IN CONJUNCTION WITH A MODIFIED SINE WAVE AC INPUT

SOURCE.



This PRO-Verter is programmed to charge 24 VDC LiFePO batteries using a constant current/constant

voltage (CC/CV) charging protocol.

Voltage is not an indicator of battery state of charge.



Contact Solar Stik Technical Support if recon�guration to another battery chemistry is required.



DO NOT STORE BATTERIES IN A DISCHARGED STATE!

Always recharge batteries completely

before storage or transport.



A 24 V battery must be connected for the PRO-Verter to operate.



Solar panels, if used, should be oriented for maximum daily sun exposure.



Consult the generator manual for critical generator operation information.



The TECH PORT is for high-level maintenance and programming. Contact Solar Stik Technical Support

for information.

Quick-start Guide

Connect Hybrid System Components

Refer to diagram for recommended setup and connections.

When connecting compatible power generation sources:



TQG

� Connect ONLY to GEN COMM �1.



Ranger/Defender

single operation � Connect to GEN COMM �1 or �2.



Ranger/Defender

tandem operation � Connect to GEN COMM �1 and �2. (Use AC

PARALLEL Power Cable.)



Photovoltaic (PV) Array(s)

� Connect to SOLAR ONLY. (Multiple arrays require use of

Solar Y Cable.)

System Activation, Initialization, and Calibration

1. Activate the System.

a. Expander Pak (if equipped) - Turn on the master circuit switches.

b. PRO-Verter user interface - Press ON/OFF button on the user

interface and hold for two (2) seconds.

2. Set PRO-Verter 24-hour clock at the user interface.

a. Press the ENTER button.
b. Press the DOWN button to arrive at TIME SETTING; press ENTER.
c. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to change the value of the digit.
d. Press ENTER when the value is correct to move to the next digit.
e. Press ENTER to �nalize the setting procedure.

3. Program AC Max Current inputs. (See Hybrid System Con�guration Chart.)

a. Toggle the Generator Type switch to desired position.
b. Set the AC Maximum Input Current (= generator or grid output(s)).

i. Press the ENTER button.
ii. Press the DOWN button to arrive at INPUT SETTING.
iii. Press the ENTER button.
iv. Press the DOWN button to arrive at

GRID MAX CURRENT

v. Press the ENTER button and hold until number �ashes.
vi. Use the UP or DOWN button to change number.
vii. Press ENTER to move to the next digit.
viii. When correct value is entered, press and hold ENTER to save.
ix. Press DOWN to arrive at

GEN MAX CURRENT

x. Repeat steps v. through vii.

4. Test PRO-Verter and generator operation.

a. Toggle the GENERATOR CONTROL SWITCH(ES) to the ON position. Once the generator

has run for two (2) minutes the AC input should be quali�ed.

b. When the PRO-Verter enters CHARGING mode, RAPIDLY toggle the GENERATOR

CONTROL SWITCH(ES) to the AUTO position.

System Recovery with Overdischarged Batteries

If batteries are discharged to a �critical-low� level, the System may cease to function. There are two
(2) methods to restore a System with overdischarged batteries:

1. Connect an active generator/grid 120 VAC power source to the PRO-Verter 120 VAC Input.

Toggle and hold the System Recovery momentary switch

for two (2) minutes

to activate the

recovery circuit. Continue holding the Recovery toggle switch while pressing the user interface
ON/OFF button. Once the user interface powers up, release the System Recovery switch and the
user interface ON/OFF button. The System will begin charging the batteries within two (2)
minutes.

2. Connect an active PV array (exposed to sun) to the PRO-Verter. Turn on the PRO-Verter user

interface. Use either an active generator/grid 120 VAC source or continuous PV to charge the

batteries.

System Deactivation

Power down the user interface BEFORE disconnecting batteries. Press and hold the user interface
ON/OFF button for �ve (5) seconds and then release. The user interface will turn off.

System Con�guration Re�uirements

Operation of a Hybrid System

When operating in a high-ef�ciency HYBRID model, energy from batteries is used to support
the load(s). The total daily power required for the load(s) is generated by a renewable PV array

and/or a fuel-driven generator. The PRO-Verter S 3000 manages all system functions,
ensuring constant power to the load through proper cycling of the batteries and connected

power generation sources.

The PRO-Verter S 3000 uses battery voltage to initiate generator start and stop functions. In a
properly sized System, the batteries and generator should both cycle 1-2 times daily.

�ee �ybrid �ystem �on��uration ��art �or recommended supported �oads, �eneration
requirements, and recommended battery capacities.

Con�guration of a Hybrid System (See System Manual.)

1. Determine the total daily power requirements.
2. Establish the proper battery capacity.
3. Con�gure generator/grid AC and PV recharging.

WARNING

Shock Hazard

Do not operate the system when cables

and components are on wet ground.

Do not operate in wet environments with lid open.
