Description
Sets the time to halt charging on AC1 (Grid). The AC2 (Gen) port is unaffected
by the Conext XW+ block settings. The charger block start and stop settings
allow you to select when the charger stops charging on AC1. To disable the
charger block function, set Chg Block Start and Chg Block Stop to the same
time. See "Charger Block" on page 3–32.
Sets the time that charging on AC1 can resume. At the Chg Block Stop time,
charging on AC1 is enabled again.
For default settings, see "Charger Settings Menu" on page B–3.
When AC power is available, the Conext XW+ can operate as a battery charger.
Different battery types and chemistries require different charging voltage levels.
Not charging batteries at the required levels can shorten battery life or damage
the batteries. The Conext XW+ is configured at the factory to work with the
battery types recommended for inverter applications. If the default settings do
not work for your specific installation, you can adjust the charge stage settings
(as recommended by the battery manufacturer) on the Custom Battery
Settings menu (see page 3–21).
Note: This information is provided for guidance only. Variations in battery
chemistry and site-specific environmental considerations mean that you should
consult your system designer or battery manufacturer for specific
recommendations for appropriate battery voltage and current settings.
DAMAGE FROM HAVING DIFFERENT CHARGER SETTINGS
Make sure that all XW+ units in the multi-unit setup have the same Charger
Settings. For example, if one XW+ unit has a Battery Type of Flooded, all XW+
units must have the same Battery Type.
To copy the settings to one unit from another, see "Copying Settings From
Another Unit" on page 3–47.
Make sure that all Xanbus devices in the same network, such as connected
MPPT solar charge controllers and the Battery Monitor, have the same Charger
settings. Refer to each device's owner's guide for information on how to
change the charger settings.
Failure to follow these instructions may damage the battery/batteries.
