Page 46: Using Search Mode
Configuration bring the battery level back above the Low Batt Cut Out setting. After shutdown, the inverter does not support any AC loads, and AC loads must be powered by either a generator or grid power. If using an automatic generator starting system, it is recommended to set the AGS voltage trigger setting higher than the XW Inverter/Charger Low Batt Cut Out voltage. - Page 47 Inverter Settings Menu Notes: • Search mode, by function, cannot work with clocks and timers or devices that need power 24 hours a day. Examples of devices with timers include video recorders, coffee makers with brew timers, refrigerators, and freezers with defrost timers.

Page 49: Battery Charger Functions
Charger Settings Menu Battery Charger Functions When AC power is available, the XW Inverter/Charger can operate as a battery charger. Different battery types and chemistries require different charging voltage levels. Not charging batteries at the required levels can shorten battery life or possibly damage them. - Page 50 Configuration Absorption Stage Absorption charge is the second stage of battery charging and provides the batteries a controlled, constant voltage. During this stage, the current supplied to the batteries slowly decreases. When this current falls below 2% of the battery capacity, or when the configurable Absorb Time expires, the charger switches to the Float or NoFloat stage, depending on the selected charge cycle.

Page 55: Grid Support Settings
Grid Support Settings Grid Support Settings The Grid Support Settings menu contains configuration options for grid-tie operation. To enable all these settings, Grid Support must be enabled in the Setup menu (see “XW Inverter/Charger Setup Menu” on page 3–2). Important: To allow Grid Support to function after battery charging has completed, it is recommended to set the Charge Cycle to 2-Stage. -
Page 56: Energy Management
Configuration Table 3-6 Grid Support Settings menu Item Description Load Shave Amps Sets the maximum amount of current that can be drawn from the AC1 (grid) input by the loads and battery charger combined. This setting determines the amperage level at which the inverter starts drawing power from the batteries to add to the utility power to meet the demand of the loads. -
Page 57: Peak Load Shaving
Grid Support Settings Grid support enabled, Sell enabled In this mode all available excess DC power is first used to power local loads, and any excess is exported to the utility grid. Note: Running and Start-up (Peak) currents are limited to the maximum current limits of the inverter. - Page 58 Configuration When using the system for time-of-use metering, the system should be designed with a battery capacity large enough to support loads during the entire peak rate period without reaching the Low Battery Cut Out setting. To further ensure the batteries are able to support the loads, an additional source of power (solar, wind or hydroelectric) is recommended.
-
Page 59: Generator Support Settings
Generator Support Settings Generator Support Settings Generator support allows power to be automatically drawn from the batteries to assist an AC generator to support heavy loads (loads that exceed the available current from the generator). Generators have a limited output current and it is possible to reach this limit when operating heavy loads. -
