Thebacklitenergydisplayshowsinstantaneouspower,accumulativepower,
ACvoltage, ACcurrent, ACpowerfactorand ACfrequency.Seepage14for
moredetails.
AfterdarkwhenthesolarinputisnolongeravailabletheInverterwill
automaticallydisconnectfromthe ACgrid. Thisfeatureensuresthatduring
thenight,theInvertercannotconsumeanypowerwhatsoeverwhile
remainingidle.Uponsunrisethenextmorningwhensolarinputbecomes
availableagain,thePVedgewillautomaticallyreconnecttothe ACgridand
begingeneratingpower.
ThePVedgeautomaticallysynchronizestothe ACgrid,thereforetheoutput
ofmultipleunitscanallbeconnectedtogether,andtheywillallbe
synchronizedbythe ACgrid.
Theoptimumpowerlevelfromthesolarinputdependsontheavailablesolar
modules.Evenincloudyweatherwithfluctuationsinthesolarradiation
level,thePVEdgeconstantlymonitorsandtrackstheoptimumoperating
pointtoensuremaximumpowerfromthesolarmodulesisachieved.
The ACgridvoltageandfrequencyiscloselymonitoredbythePVEdge
alongwithantiislandingchecksviaactivephaseshifts.Isolationbetween
theDCinputand ACoutputisachievedviathe Toroidal Transformer. The
Inverterisfittedwithacoolingfan,whichistemperaturecontrolledandonly
operateswhenrequired.
WheninBatterymode(MPPT disabled)amaintenancecycleisperformed
every30days. Thisisashortboostcycleforsealedbatteriesoranequalize
chargeforfloodedcells.InthismodethebottomLEDwillflashslowlyuntil
thecycleiscompleted.
TheSolarinputsofmultipleunitInvertersarenottobeparallelled
unlessusedwithabattery.PleasecontactLatronicsformoredetails.

TheLatronics TurbineControllerutilizesthelatestinmicro-controllerdesigntodelivera
stableandsafesupplyofpowertothegridconnectinverter.Designedspecificallyto
integratewiththePVEdgelineofLatronicsinverters,itallowsbattery-lessgrid
connectionofwindandwaterturbines.
NOTE:
PVEdgemustbeinBatteryMode.
