Operation Network Tab Figure 21 Network Tab (SETTINGS View) The items under this tab allow connection to a personal computer or network (wired or wireless). If DHCP is used with a network device such as router, modem, or switch, then many of these values will be assigned from the network device.
Operation Inverter Tab The items under this tab affect many of the Mojave inverter’s basic functions. Interactions with utility grid, generator, and battery charging are set under other tabs. The items presented here are described on the designated pages. They may not appear in the same order as shown below.
Page 38
Operation Inverting This is the Mojave inverter’s primary function. The inverter converts DC voltage from batteries into AC voltage that is usable by AC loads. It will continue to do this as long as the batteries have sufficient energy. The inverter’s design uses a transformer and high-frequency H-Bridge FET modules to achieve the required high-wattage output.
Operation AC Coupling NOTE: This function is performed automatically when the conditions are met as described below. It has no adjustable settings. Many inverter products are “grid-direct” (GD), converting PV power to AC power and sending it directly to the utility grid without the use of batteries. These products have no backup capability. In systems with an existing GD inverter, the Mojave inverter can be added to “couple”...
Operation Time of Use (ToU) The Mojave inverter can choose to run the protected loads using either grid or battery power based on day and time. This permits the system to take advantage of varying utility rates. ToU in this inverter is referred to as “simplified”.
Operation AC coupling (see page 39) may be used with ToU. In the example shown in Figure 24, the Mojave inverter is used in conjunction with a GD inverter (with a PV array) on the protected loads panel. The utility company’s peak rate occurs between 5 PM and 8 PM. The user sets Simplified ToU to Enable.
Operation Rapid Shutdown (RSD) In an emergency, a responder may need to quickly place the system in a de-energized state. The auxiliary (A ) terminal block has terminals designed to receive signals from OutBack Power’s RSI (Rapid Shutdown Initiator) or a similar rapid shutdown device. 12V G 12V+ Relay 1...

Operation Grid Input When the Mojave inverter’s G terminals are connected to a grid-quality AC source and the Grid Input command is set to Use, the inverter will synchronize itself with the grid source and connect to it. Its grid relay will engage, linking the G terminals directly with the L .
Page 46
Operation Grid Relay The Mojave inverter uses mechanical relays to connect the inverter, AC sources, and loads. The and G terminals have separate, independent relays. These are not interchangeable. Each input has a separate set of acceptance criteria (also known as “enter service” criteria). (See the Generator tab on page 70.) Until the grid relay energizes, the G terminals are electrically isolated from L...
Page 47
Operation NOTES: The charger cannot exceed the Import limit (W) setting, even if Charge from grid limit is set higher than Import limit (W). The inverter gives priority to any loads. The inverter cannot restrict the amount of power sent to the loads.
Operation Battery Tab The items under this tab affect the Mojave inverter’s interactions with the battery bank, particularly battery charging. Many items will vary with the battery type. There are no default settings that apply to all batteries. Each Battery Model selection pre-loads the other items with default settings that have been optimized for that particular battery type.
Page 50
Operation The exit (taper) current level for the second stage of charging. See pages 57 and 67. Refloat voltage (V)— Range: 42 to 64. Default: 50.00 The trigger voltage to re-start a maintenance charge. See page 58. Float charge mode — Range: Disabled, Timed, Continuous. Default: Timed The command that permits the third stage of charging to operate.
Battery Selection The Mojave inverter can auto-populate the specifications of select OutBack Power/EnerSys and third-party battery models. If one of these models is in use, it can be selected under Battery Model. This item shows a list of supported batteries. Select the most applicable type.
Page 52
Operation Low and High Battery Limits Max SoC (%): After reaching maximum SoC (state of charge, the charger turns off. Setting it to less than 100% could result in the battery becoming undercharged. See page 53 for more discussion of SoC. Min SoC (%): This selection is the lowest operating point for all functions that discharge the batteries.
Operation Battery Charging IMPORTANT: Battery charger settings need to be correct for a given battery type. Always follow battery manufacturer recommendations. Making incorrect settings, or leaving them at factory default settings, may cause the batteries to be undercharged or overcharged. State of Charge (SoC) Battery capacity is measured in ampere-hours or amp-hours (Ah), a measurement of current over time.
Operation Charge Cycle Battery charging requirements will vary with battery chemistry. The Mojave inverter uses one of several different charge cycles. Selecting a Battery Model on page 51 will set up a charge cycle that has been pre-programed for that battery. Most cycles operate in a combination of progression of constant-current and constant-voltage steps.
Operation Lead-Chemistry Batteries (Three-Stage Charging) When selecting a Battery Model for a lead-acid, AGM, or similar battery, this cycle is generally used. The three stages of this charge cycle are Bulk, Absorption, and Float. These stages are introduced in Figure 27 and described beginning below. The following items describe the operation and intended use for each individual charging step as shown in the graphs.
Operation Bulk Stage This is the first stage in the cycle. It is a constant-current stage which drives the battery voltage up. Bulk typically leaves the batteries at 75% to 90% of their capacity, depending on the battery type, the charger setting, and other conditions. Displayed: Status message: Bulk Voltage Used: Absorb voltage (V) setting.
Page 57
Operation Absorption Stage This is a timed constant-voltage stage. It uses only enough current to maintain the Absorb voltage (usually requiring a tapering current). It "tops off " the batteries at effectively 100% SoC. Displayed: Status message: Absorption Voltage Used: Absorb voltage (V) setting. For the three-stage cycle to proceed normally, this setting should be kept higher than the Float voltage (V) and Rebulk voltage (V) settings.
Page 58
Operation Float Stage This is a timed constant-voltage stage. It is sometimes known as maintenance charging. Float stage balances the batteries’ tendency to self-discharge (as well as balancing the draw of any other DC loads). It maintains the batteries at 100% of capacity. Displayed: Status message: Float Voltage Used: Float voltage (V) setting.
Page 59
Operation Refloat The charger re-enters Float stage with constant-current charging to maintain the batteries. Displayed: Status message: Float. Voltage Used: Float voltage (V) setting. This step may also be used to return to an interrupted Float stage. Entering Float: Upon reaching the Float voltage (V) setting, the charger will behave as on page 58.

Operation Equalization Figure 31 Equalization Equalization is a controlled overcharge that is part of regular battery maintenance. Equalization brings the batteries to a much higher voltage than usual and maintains this high voltage for a period of time. This has the result of removing inert lead sulfate compounds from the battery plates. It also reduces stratification by circulating the electrolyte.
Page 63
Operation Equalization is normally performed only on flooded lead-acid batteries. The schedule for equalization varies with battery use and type. If performed correctly, this process can extend battery life by a considerable amount. This function is not available for battery types that use two-stage charging or a BMS. CAUTION: Battery Damage ...
Operation Lithium-Chemistry Batteries (BMS and Two-Stage Charging) CAUTION: Battery Damage OutBack Power does not approve custom applications, including installation of lithium-ion batteries that have not been published as installable with OutBack Power equipment. Supported batteries are assumed to be new (not repurposed, purchased used, etc), covered under the manufacturer’s warranty for the intended application, and fully compliant to all local and national regulatory requirements.
Operation CAUTION: Battery Damage Only use lithium-ion batteries specifically supported by OutBack Power. See the list of supported batteries at the link on the previous page. Even batteries equipped with CANBUS connections may not be supported by the Mojave inverter/charger. If the battery settings do not automatically configure upon connection, stop and verify compatibility and installation instructions.
Operation Two-Stage Charging When selecting a Battery Model that does not require continuous maintenance, this cycle is generally used. The two stages of this charge cycle are Bulk and Absorption. These stages are introduced in Figure 33 and described beginning below. The following items describe the operation and intended use for each individual charging step as shown in the graphs.
Operation Bulk Stage This is the first stage in the cycle. It is a constant-current stage which drives the battery voltage up. Bulk typically leaves the batteries at 75% to 90% of their capacity, depending on the battery type, the exact charger setting, and other conditions. Displayed: Status message: Bulk Voltage Used: Absorb voltage (V) setting.
Page 68
Operation Time limit: Absorb time (m) setting. The timer counts down from the inception of Absorption stage until it reaches zero. The time remaining can be viewed in Figure The charger may not always run through the timer’s full duration. The timer may expire early if the starting time was left over from a previous cycle.
Page 69
Operation Absorption Timer Time limit: Absorb time (m) setting. This is reset to its maximum amount whenever the battery voltage decreases to the Rebulk voltage (V) setting. The reset occurs immediately, regardless of the duration spent below this voltage. If the battery voltage does not decrease to the Rebulk point, the Absorb time (m) setting will not reset.
Operation Generator Tab The items under this tab affect the Mojave inverter’s interactions with an AC generator, particularly automatic starting. The items presented here are described on the designated pages. They may not appear in the same order as shown below. NOTE : Although SYSTEM TIME on page 15 uses a 24-hour clock format, settable times of day in this menu are formatted using a 12-hour clock.
Page 71
Operation Start on high load (V) — Range: Disabled or Enabled. Default: Disabled. This item allows AGS to start the generator due to a high inverter load. See page 77. Start kW (kW) — Range: 0 to 8. Default: 5.0. The load size above which AGS will start the generator.
Operation Generator Usage The Mojave inverter can connect to a generator to charge batteries and run loads when the utility grid is not available. The generator must be 120/240 Vac (three-wire or “split-phase”) and 60 Hz. It cannot accept single-phase (two wire 120 Vac, 230 Vac, or 240 Vac) or three-phase input. The generator can be started with a manual command or programmed to run automatically with the automatic generator start (AGS) function.
Page 73
Operation If the loads exceed Generator output rating (kVA), the inverter will support the loads by adding battery power to the power used from the generator. It will discharge the batteries at a level up to the Max Discharge Current (A) setting on page 53. This operation can continue until the batteries reach the Minimum SoC setting on page 52.
