SW Series Inverter/Charger
Part No. 2031-5
Rev. C: February 2001
•
ON - Starts the generator that is controlled by the inverter. If this position is selected, it will
manually turn on the generator that is connected to the GEN CONTROL relays. The OFF position
must be selected to manually turn the generator off.
•
EQ - Triggers the battery charger to complete the equalization process. If an AC source is
connected to the AC HOT IN 1 terminals, then the equalization process will begin. If no AC source is
connected to the AC HOT IN 1 terminals, then the generator will start the equalization process the
next time the generator is automatically started. Once the equalization process has been completed,
the cursor will return to the AUTO position. If you are battery charging - in FLOAT charge - from the
Utility or a manually controlled generator, you may initiate another BULK charge by moving the cursor
through EQ.
Gen under/over
speed
NO
If YES is displayed, it indicates that the automatic generator control system has detected that the
generator frequency is with in acceptable tolerance, but is not well adjusted. This error condition will cause
the red ERROR LED to blink, but will not cause the automatic generator control system to shut down the
generator.
The ERROR LED can be used to indicate when the generator frequency is well adjusted. When the
frequency is within is within 3 hertz of the nominal value (57 to 63 for 60 Hz units, 47 to 53 for 50 Hz units),
the LED will be off. Once outside this window, the LED will blink slowly. A frequency meter is also provided
in the METERS (4) menu heading to allow a more precise adjustment of the generator. It is able to
indicate the frequency of the generator only after the inverter has been able to synchronize to the
generator. The acceptable frequency range for the SW Series is 53 to 67 Hertz for 60-Hertz models and
44 to 56 Hertz for 50-Hertz models.
Generator start
error
NO
If YES is displayed, it indicates that the automatic generator control system was not able to successfully
start the generator. The system completes five start cycles and requires that the generator operate for a
minimum of 5 minutes before the starting attempts counter is cleared. To manually clear this error, select
OFF and then AUTO or ON from the SET GENERATOR menu item, which can also be accessed by
pressing the green GEN MENU button on the control panel.
Generator sync
error
NO
If YES is displayed, it indicates that the automatic generator control system was not able to successfully
connect to the generator after it was running. If the generator runs for 10 minutes without operating in the
AC voltage and frequency tolerance windows, then the automatic control system stops the generator and
indicates an error condition. To manually clear this error, select OFF and then AUTO or ON from the SET
GENERATOR menu item, which can also be accessed by pressing the green GEN MENU button on the
control panel.
Gen max run time
error
NO
If YES is displayed, it indicates that the generator ran for a period of time that exceeded the SET MAX
RUN TIME menu item setting under the GEN AUTO START SETUP (12) menu heading. This error
indication will only light to let the user know that the generator ran longer than originally expected. This
may be caused by many variables such as; excessive AC or DC loads operating while the generator is
trying to charge the battery; the generator operating near the INPUT LOWER LIMIT VAC setting; or the
batteries no longer holding a charge. This error LED is an advisory indication only and will not allow the
inverter to stop the generator. To disable the MAX RUN TIME, set the time to zero. To manually clear this
error, select OFF and then AUTO or ON from the SET GENERATOR menu item, which can also be
accessed by pressing the green GEN MENU button on the control panel.
