External Power Mode Continued
Equalization
Available only for wet lead-acid batteries, this function overcharges the battery in a controlled way to remove
sulphate buildup from the battery's internal plates. Consult your battery manufacturer on how frequently the
equalization process should be carried out. Equalization can only be initiated with a RV-C CAN command. The
process will not start until a full charge cycle has been completed.
NOTE: When performing the equalization process, disconnect all additional DC loads.
Monitor
In this mode, the charger stops charging at the end of a charge cycle. The inverter monitors battery voltage and
restarts a charge cycle if necessary.
NOTE: When in charge mode, the charger may not be able to charge at its full capacity if AC power is being used
in bypass mode.
NOTE: The charger is capable of charging AGM, gel, or wet lead-acid cell batteries. Selection of battery type must
be done when ordering the inverter from the factory. The battery type may also be set with the NVM Setup Utility
or via RV-C CAN. Contact the factory for further details on RV-C CAN. More information about the NVM Setup
Utility is available on page 25.
Bypass
The loads attached to the inverter output will directly operate from the external AC power line independently of
the inverter on/off status. If the inverter is left on (standby mode), the built-in bypass relay will automatically cycle
back and forth between inverter and external power modes depending on the availability of the external AC power
line. If the AC limit is set to zero amps, there will be no current available and the charger will not operate, but
bypass will still function. This fault will self-recover when the setting is changed to >0.
NOTE: If the AC load is short-circuited while in bypass mode, an internal fault may occur.
