2. Auto LBCO
Automatic Low Battery Cut Out (Auto LBCO) prevents the inverter from
draining the batteries below 10.9 V dc (with no load on the output). When this
mode is enabled (ON), the inverter shuts OFF when the batteries reach
10.9 V dc. When it is disabled (OFF), the inverter remains ON until the batteries
reach a voltage of 8.5 V dc, at which point the inverter will shut off. When ac
input is available again, the inverter automatically resets and begins charging the
batteries. The default setting is OFF.
Press the RIGHT arrow (Settings) to select the desired function. After
selecting, press the DOWN arrow to scroll to the next menu or the UP arrow to
move to a previous menu.
3. Battery Capacity
Battery Capacity refers to the battery’s reserve capacity in amp-hours. The
RC7 approximates the battery state-of-charge (SOC) and run-time then
estimates the battery capacity (Auto) over several charge/discharge cycles.
However, setting the capacity manually assures a more accurate initial SOC and
run-time calculations. The default setting is Auto.
The Battery Capacity setting also sets the absorption charge time where the
batteries are charged at the bulk voltage.
Auto ------------ 110 minutes (1.8 hours)
125 A hrs ------ 60 minutes (1 hour)
250 A hrs ------ 90 minutes (1.5 hours)
375 A hrs ------ 120 minutes (2 hours)
500 A hrs ------ 150 minutes (2.5 hours)
1000 A hrs ---- 180 minutes (3 hours)
