High Battery
voltage NO
The inverter turns off due to a high battery voltage condition determined by the HIGH BATTERY CUT
OUT VDC setting. This can be caused by the solar array or other charging source not being regulated.
Check the controller for proper operation. Some controllers have a “equalize” setting which over-rides the
normal operation, allowing the battery voltage to be unregulated. Return the controller to the “normal”
setting and check for proper operation. If you are using NiCad type batteries, you will need to increase the
HIGH BATTERY CUT OUT VDC setting. The inverter will automatically reset once the battery voltage
has dropped 1.5 volts below the HBCO setting.
High AC input
voltage NO
Your inverter/charger monitors single cycle voltage problems from the AC source. The high AC voltage
level is determined by the SET INPUT UPPER LIMIT VAC setting. If the AC voltage rises above this
setting the INVERT (yellow) LED on the inverter will flash rapidly and remain on for 3 minutes. This error
is an advisory error only and will not drop the AC input.
Gen failed to
start NO
If YES is displayed, it indicates that the automatic generator start system was not able to successfully
start the generator. The system completes five start cycles and requires that the generator operate for a
minimum of 5 minutes before the starting attempts counter is cleared. To manually clear this error, access
the SET GENERATOR menu item by pressing the green GEN MENU button on the SWRC, then select
OFF and then AUTO or ON using the set points buttons.
Gen stopped due
to V/F NO
If YES is displayed, it indicates that the automatic generator start system was not able to successfully
connect to the generator after it was running. If the generator runs for 10 minutes without operating in the
AC Voltage and Frequency tolerance windows, then the automatic start system stops the generator and
indicates an error condition. To manually clear this error, access the SET GENERATOR menu item by
pressing the green GEN MENU button on the SWRC, then select OFF and then AUTO or ON using the
set points buttons. The acceptable frequency range is 53 to 67 Hertz for 60-Hertz models. The acceptable
AC input voltage window is determined by the INPUT UPPER LIMIT VAC and INPUT LOWER LIMIT
VAC settings. See AC INPUT REQUIREMENTS on page 63 for more information.
Gen max run time
error NO
If YES is displayed, it indicates that the generator ran for a period of time that exceeded the SET MAX RUN
TIME menu item setting under the GEN AUTO START SETUP (12) menu heading. This error indication will
only light to let the user know that the generator ran longer than originally expected. This error LED is an
advisory indication only and will not allow the inverter to stop the generator. To disable the MAX RUN TIME,
set the time to zero. To manually clear this error, access the SET GENERATOR menu item by pressing the
green GEN MENU button on the SWRC, then select OFF and then AUTO or ON using the set points buttons.
Gen speed error
NO
If YES is displayed, it indicates that the automatic generator start system has detected that the generator
frequency is with in acceptable tolerance, but is not well adjusted. This error condition is an advisory error
only. It will cause the red ERROR LED to blink, but will not cause the automatic generator start system to
shut down the generator.
