Stop Load
Full name Stop on Inverter Load Current
Purpose “Stop Load” sets the Auto Gen Start to stop the generator at a specified
AC load on the inverter. The “Stop Load” setting applies to situations
when the Auto Gen Start has started the generator to assist the inverter
with powering the AC load.
When to use Use this setting when you have set a value for “Start Load”.
Stop Absorb
Full name Stop at Absorption Charge Stage
Purpose The “Stop Absorb” setting allows you to set the Auto Gen Start to stop the
generator when the inverter/charger has recharged the batteries to the
Absorption stage.
When to use Set “Stop Absorb” if you want to deliver a partial charge to your batteries.
The Auto Gen Start will start and run the generator until the inverter/
charger charges the batteries through the Bulk charge stage (restoring the
batteries to about 75% of their full charge). The Auto Gen Start stops the
generator when the inverter/charger determines the batteries have reached
the Absorption charge stage.
Set “Stop Absorb” if your inverter/charger is using two-stage battery
charging. If your inverter/charger is set to use three-stage charging, set
“Stop Float” or “Stop Absorb” to stop the generator.
Set “Stop Absorb” if battery charging is your main priority for your
generator (rather than using your generator for powering high AC loads).
You might also use the “Stop Absorb” setting if your batteries are not
being charged enough before the Auto Gen Start stops the generator
because of battery voltage or state of charge.
