Search Menu - Alpha Group OutBack Power MATE3 Owner's Manual

Search Menu

This menu adjusts the inverter's search circuit, which minimizes power draw when no loads are present.
See the inverter Operator's Manual for more information on the Search function.
To access the Search menu:
5. Access the Inverter menu as shown in Figure 71 on page 75.
6. Use the control wheel (if necessary) to highlight the Search menu.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
7. Use the control wheel to adjust each set point.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
This should cause the highlighting to advance to the next set point.
Repeat for each set point.
8. After setting the parameters for each set point, press the TOP navigation key to return to the
Main Menu screen.
Set Points:
 Sensitivity: Adjusts the Search mode sensitivity while searching for loads. Setting this item to zero
will disable Search.
 Pulse length: Adjusts the duration of each search pulse (in single AC cycles). A longer duration means
inverter detects a load more quickly. It also consumes more power.
 Pulse spacing: Adjusts the time between search pulses (in single AC cycles). Shorter spacing means
the inverter detects a load more quickly. It also consumes more power.
