Victron energy Color Control GX - Troubleshooting Common Issues; Understanding Error Codes

16.6. Conditions: User definable parameters that trigger an automatic generator
start/stop
To get to Conditions from the main menu go to: Settings → Generator start/stop → Settings → Conditions
On loss of communication: If ever there is a communication breakdown between the CCGX and the VE. Bus inverter/charger;
and parameters have been set which depend on this information - choose between the following actions:
• Stop the generator: If the generator is running, it will be stopped (default).
• Start the generator: If the generator is not running, it will be started.
• Keep running: If the generator is running at the time of data loss, this setting will keep it running.
Stop generator when AC-input is available: This option is ideal for backup systems where a Quattro has mains/grid electricity
connected to its AC-in 1 or AC-in 2 terminal and a Genset connected to the other AC-in terminal. If this option is activated, the
Genset will not stop until mains voltage is restored after a mains failure. This functionality is not available for VE.Can connected
Quattros.
The following parameters may be user-defined to trigger an automatic generator start/stop:
• Manual [104]
• Stop generator when AC-input is available [102]
• Battery SoC [102]
• AC load* [103]
• Battery current [103]
• Battery voltage [103]
• Inverter high temperature [104]
• Inverter overload [104]
• Periodic run [104]
(* The value measured here will be the total AC consumption of the system.)
Condition-parameters are prioritised in the order shown above. When a number of conditions are reached at the same time, only
the highest-priority condition will be shown as active. All enabled conditions will be evaluated - even if the generator is already
running. When the active condition has been satisfied, an un-met parameter in a lower-priority condition will keep the generator
running.
16.6.1. Generator stop when AC-input becomes available after a mains failure
• Disabled
• AC input 1
• AC input 2
16.6.2. Relays triggered by Battery SoC
• Use Battery SoC value to start/stop: Toggle this feature on or off.
• Start when Battery SoC is lower than: Set the depletion level for autostart.
