GENERATOR MENU
The GEN (generator) category of the advanced menu section allows for adjustment of the AC input voltage window and time delays to
match the characteristics of the AC source if that AC source is a generator. This setting can be found in the SETUP/FX/INPUT menu.
All OutBack Power System FX’s other than the “Grid-Tie” FX’s have a default of GEN (generator) as the AC source.

Selecting
<FX> allows adjustment of the FX’s advanced programming.
Selecting
<PG2> advances the user to the second page of the advanced menu.
Selecting
<GEN> allows adjustment of the AC input set points and operation.
The
AC INPUT CONNECT DELAY set point adjusts the time period of when the FX sees an
acceptable AC source to when it connects the AC loads to that source. This is useful to allow a
generator to warm up. This setting has a range between 0.2 minutes to 15 minutes in 0.1 minute
increments.
The
AC2/GEN LOWER LIMIT set point allows adjustment of the minimum voltage that the AC
source is allowed to be in order for the FX to connect to that source. The FX will back off the
charger if the AC source is at this lower limit. If the AC source falls below this limit, the FX will
disconnect from the AC source until it is above this value. This setting has a range between 70
vac and 110 vac in 1 vac increments.
The
AC2/GEN UPPER LIMIT set point allows adjustment of the maximum voltage that the AC
source is allowed to be in order for the FX to connect to that source. If the AC source exceeds this
value, the FX will disconnect from the AC source until it is below this value. This setting has a
range between 130 vac and 150 vac in 1 vac increments.
The
AC2/GEN INPUT LIMIT sets the maximum amount of current the FX allows to be drawn from
the AC source. When the AC input current limit is reached, the power draw of the battery charger
is backed off to prevent overloading the AC source. If the AC loads exceed this limit, the FX will
give a warning and start blinking the red “ERROR” LED. This setting has a range between 5.0 aac
and 60.0 aac in 1.0 aac increments.
The
AC2/GEN TRANSFER DELAY is the amount of time that the AC input will remain connected
to the AC source when the AC input voltage drops below the AC2/GEN lower limit setting. Once
the AC voltage has risen above the AC2/GEN lower limit setting for the AC INPUT CONNECT
DELAY time period, the AC source will be reconnected. This setting has a range between 0
cycles and 240cycles in 1 cycle increments.
The
AC2/GEN SUPPORT setting is not operational at this time.
Selecting TOP returns the user to the top of the ADV/FX/GEN menu section. Selecting ADV
