    Fault Reference Code Fault Code Fault Event Icon on Fan is locked when inverter is off. Over temperature Battery voltage is too high Battery voltage is too low Output short circuited or over temperature is detected by internal converter components. Output voltage is too high.
  • Page 32: Battery Equalization

    Battery Equalization Equalization function is added into charge controller. It reverses the buildup of negative chemical effects like stratification, a condition where acid concentration is greater at the bottom of the battery than at the top. Equalization also helps to remove sulfate crystals that might have built up on the plates. If left unchecked, this condition, called sulfation, will reduce the overall capacity of the battery.
  • Page 33 However, in Equalize stage, when battery equalized time is expired and battery voltage doesn’t rise to battery equalization voltage point, the charge controller will extend the battery equalized time until battery voltage achieves battery equalization voltage. If battery voltage is still lower than battery equalization voltage when battery equalized timeout setting is over, the charge controller will stop equalization and return to float stage.
