Charge Rate:
Charge rate is adjustable from 10 to 100%. Selecting a lower percentage charge rate will lessen the
charger's current consumption, taking longer to charge batteries and leaving the user a few extra AC
Amps when operating from a limited AC power source.
Shore Power Amps:
This is a load shedding feature of the battery charger in the inverter. For example: Shore Power
amps set to 30 Amps will decrease the AC current available for the internal battery charger's use, as pass
through AC current value approaches 30 Amps. Lowering shore power amps will limit the available
AC current for the internal battery charger's use. This is adjustable from 5 to 30 Amps, in 5 Amp incre-
ments.
RC7 GS Remote Panel Setup:
Allows the user to select the desired screen display. The Last Key will leave the menu active, with
the last status viewed on the display. The Rolling Display will continue to scroll through the active
menu status display. Power Saver allows the display to "sleep" after viewing the status. Touch any key
to "awaken" the RC7 GS remote, then press the desired key.
LCD Contrast:
This changes the display screen contrast. Six settings are available. Lighter contrast settings may
leave the screen difficult to see in a bright atmosphere.
External Shunt:
The inverter monitors both AC and DC current values, whether charging or discharging (figures
are approximate), by using internal or external shunts. The shunt monitors partial current consumption,
allowing the majority of current to pass on heavier conductors. Programming shunt selection affects
which shunt the inverter is using to monitor DC current values. Single inverter systems use an internal
shunt to monitor system DC current values. When programming single inverter systems select External
Shunt None. Dual inverter systems use an external shunt to monitor system current values. When pro-
gramming the shunt selection of a dual inverter system, the master inverter is programmed by the
remote installed in the monitor panel. The master inverter will be programmed as External Shunt This
Inverter. The slave inverter will be programmed as External Shunt Other Inverter.
Fuel Gauge Cutout:
Battery chemistries and types have different static voltage readings at different states of charge. The
battery voltage may be used to determine an approximate state of charge for that battery type and
chemistry. The Fuel Gauge Cutout voltage is a reference point the inverter uses to determine a battery
with no reserve capacity amp hours remaining. Changing the value of the Fuel Gauge Cutout will affect
the fuel meter, automatic generator start and stop points if set by SOC (state of charge) and time left to
run or charge. The Fuel Gauge will read 0 when the Fuel Gauge Cutout pre-programmed voltage reach-
es 50% SOC.
NOTE:
The remaining field items are used to program the Automatic Generator Start param-
eters.
