Over Discharge Protection (ODP)
When enabled, ODP shuts down the inverter at a specified voltage (low battery
cutoff) to protect the batteries from over discharge damage. The inverter circuitry
calculates the lowest (safe) DC voltage (leaving approximately 20% battery
capacity) based on the position the Battery Type Selector switch and the amount
of current drawn by the load. Under no-load conditions this level is typically
between 11.8 and 12.0 Vdc (for a 12-volt battery bank).
Important: The range of set points between 2 and 5 o’clock also determine the low AC
Transfer Voltage. This must be considered when adjusting this potentiometer with ODP
enabled (see Table 3-3).
Important: When ODP is disabled (set points between 9 and 1 o’clock), the inverter is
programmed to shut OFF when the batteries reach approximately 8.5 Vdc (1.4166 V/cell)
for 12-Vdc systems (17 Vdc for 24-volt systems).
