The inverter uses a battery temperature sensor to adjust charge voltage.
When the battery temperature rises the BTS will send this information,
registering as counts, to the inverter to decrease charge voltage. Voltage
compensation with temperature variation is necessary to keep charge volt-
age at optimum figures. The BTS should be adhered to a house battery. If
the BTS is unplugged, the inverter default setting of 77º F/25º C is used as
the charge temperature reference point.
Incorporated in the inverter is a double pole “pass-through” relay which
trips when AC power is supplied to the input terminals. This will transfer AC
power through the inverter to a sub panel supplying AC power to outlets and
appliances. When AC power is supplied to the inverter, the internal battery
charger will “ramp up” battery charging voltage. A 20 second time delay allows
charge stabilization before pass through AC power is supplied to the sub panel.
This field is a general overview of system status. This is the primary screen
of the RC7 remote. This field area includes: Main menu display.
• Waiting for AC: System inactive waiting
for AC power to be supplied.
• Inverting: Unit is inverting.
• Charging Cycle Status: Bulk, Absorb or
Float mode.
• Battery State of Charge: Based on the Fuel
Gauge Cutout setting. It may be displayed in
percentages or as a fuel gauge.
• Time Left To Run: This evaluates the
battery reserve capacity at current operating
load. It is based on the Fuel Gauge Cutout
and Battery Bank Capacity settings.
• Time Left To Charge: Estimated time left to
charge batteries to full state of charge. This
is based on Fuel Gauge Cutout and Battery
Bank Capacity settings with current battery
voltage.
• Generator Start/Stop: Use inverter ON/OFF
button to remotely start the generator or to
over- ride automatic generator start feature
for manual operation. This feature is
available to use without altering automatic
generator start programming.
