cyclic basis. The inverter takes several charging cycles to "learn" an individual
battery bank size. When main battery disconnects have been tuned off,
"learning" curve is erased.
Battery Type:
Many types of batteries, with different chemical compositions, are
available. Different chemical types require different charging characteristics
at different voltages. Selection of available battery types are:
• AGM(absorb glass matte)
• Gel Cell
• Liquid Lead Acid
Charge Rate:
Charge rate is adjustable from 10 to 100 percent. This feature may be used
in many different ways. Selecting a lower percentage charge rate lowers the
inverter AC battery charger's current consumption. It will take longer to charge
batteries but will leave user a few extra AC amps when operating from a limit-
ed power source.
Shore Power Amps:
This is a load shedding feature of the battery charger in the inverter.
Example: Shore Power Amps set to 30 amps will decrease the AC current
available for the internal battery charger's use, as pass through AC current
value approaches 30 amps. Lowering shore power amps will limit the available
AC current for the internal battery charger's use. This is adjustable from 5 to
30 amps, in 5 amp increments.
RC7 Setup:
This option allows the user to select the desired screen display. The Last
Key will leave the menu active with the last status viewed on the display. The
Rolling Display will continue to scroll through the active menu status display.
The Power Saver allows the display to "sleep" after viewing the status. Touch
any key to "awaken" the RC7 remote, then press the desired key.
LCD Contrast:
This changes the display screen contrast. Six settings are available. Lighter
contrast settings may leave the screen difficult to see in a bright atmosphere.
External Shunt:
The inverter monitors both AC and DC current values, whether charging or
discharging (figures are approximate), by using internal shunts. A shunt moni-
tors partial current consumption, allowing the majority of current to pass on
heavier conductors. Single inverter systems use their internal shunt to monitor
system values; therefore, External Shunt None should be selected. Dual invert-
er systems may use the shunt of the other inverter to monitor the entire system
