You can now adapt your installation to the source which it is
connected to.
Max. current of the AC source (Input limit) {1107}.
When an asterisk (*) is present, it informs you that the selected value corresponds to
the one set in factory by default (factory setting).
In case of using the Xtender on a public grid, it is actually the value of the circuit
breaker on the source side (fuse or breaker).
In a building, this value lies generally between 8 and 16A.
In the case of a shorepower or of a camping terminal, it lies between 2 and 6A.
In case of using the Xtender on a genset, you can divide the genset power by the
operating voltage (for instance for a genset of 3500VA, or 3500W, and 230V you get
3500/230=15.2).
Caution: the powers given on the gensets are often overestimated compared to their
real performances. To obtain a useable value it is necessary to multiply this result by
0.6 or 0.7 (in that case 15.2*0.7=10.64).
Press the key SET to modify the value of this parameter (it appears in reverse video). By means of the
keys “arrow upwards” and “arrow downwards” change the value to adapt it to your source and
validate your setting with the key SET (OK).
6.3 ADAPTATION TO THE BATTERY
Charge current {1138}
In order that your Xtender manages the best possible the energy stored in your batteries and that it
charges them optimally, it is necessary to indicate the current which they can be charged with. You
will find this value in the technical data provided by your batteries manufacturer.
In a system with several Xtenders, this value represents the current of each Xtender. It
is therefore necessary to divide the current required by your battery by the number
of Xtenders.
In the case of lead-acid batteries, one generally uses one tenth or one fifth of the
battery capacity value.
For instance for a 500Ah battery: 500/10=50A to 500/5=100A.
Press 2 times on the key “arrow downwards” to display the
following screen:
Once beyond this screen you can come back to it by means
of the key ”arrow upwards”.
Press the key SET to access to the settings.
Then again on the key SET to access to the basic parameters.
With the key “arrow downwards”, access the menu “Battery
and charger cycle”.
