SW Series Inverter/Charger
Part No. 2031-5
Rev. C: February 2001
High Battery
voltage
NO
Battery voltage was above the HIGH BATTERY CUT OUT VDC setting. This can be caused by the solar
array or other charging source not being regulated. Check the controller for proper operation. Some
controllers have a “equalize” setting which over-rides the normal operation, allowing the battery voltage to
be unregulated. Return the controller to the “normal” setting and check for proper operation. If you are
using NiCad type batteries, you will need to increase the HIGH BATTERY CUT OUT VDC setting. The
inverter will automatically reset once the battery voltage has dropped 1.5 volts below the HBCO setting for
a 12 VDC system, 3 volts for a 24 VDC system and 6 volts for a 48 VDC system.
Low Battery
voltage
NO
Battery voltage is below the LOW BATTERY CUT OUT VDC setting. The inverter has shut off to prevent
over-discharge of the battery. Allow the battery to recharge or connect to an AC source such as a back-up
generator. The inverter will reset when the battery exceeds the LOW BATTERY CUT IN VDC setting.
AC source wired
to output
NO
Reports that an AC voltage source was connected directly to the AC output. This can be caused by
improper wiring or incorrect installation of the inverter. Check the AC input and output wiring. This
condition is much worse than a short circuit and may cause damage to the inverter. Find the cause and
correct the problem before restarting the inverter. A defective utility or generator AC input relay could
cause this condition. To test, disconnect all input wiring from AC inputs 1 and 2 and restart the inverter. If
the AC IN GOOD LED indicator on the control panel glows, then the inverter’s internal relay is defective.
External error
(stacked)
NO
A problem has occurred with the series interface cable or one of the inverters operated in series. Check the
cable for damage and replace it to see if the problem is corrected. Also, check the connecting AC wiring.
Generator start
error
NO
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 pressing the green GEN MENU button on the control
panel can access.
Generator sync
error
NO
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, or press the green GEN MENU button on the control panel can access.
Gen under/over
speed
NO
Indicates that the automatic generator control system has detected that the generator frequency is not well
adjusted. This error condition will cause the red ERROR LED to illuminate, but will not cause the
automatic generator control system to shut down the generator. If the inverter can not synchronize to the
generator after a 10-minute period, then the GENERATOR SYNC ERROR condition will be reached.
