Section 3: Configuration
Inverter Configuration
All the items on the Inverter menu are configuration parameters. The first two items are Load Sense
parameters. The remaining items are high- and low-voltage alarms and cut-off settings. See “Prosine
Inverter Load Sense Mode‚” on page 56 for a complete discussion of the Load Sense feature.
Load Sense Parameters. You can define a minimum load at which the inverter will provide AC
power. Any load that draws less than the minimum current, adjustable from 1 to 1401 watts, will not
activate the inverter. Loads that draw more than the minimum current will activate the inverter from
Standby mode to Invert mode. A minimum setting of zero will disable Load Sense altogether. Power
consumption by the inverter when it is not on Standby is about 60 watts. When Load Sense is enabled
and the inverter is in Standby mode, power consumption is about three watts, conserving your
batteries.
When Load Sense mode is active (turn-on power >0), the inverter tests for loads connected to it by
sending a pulse signal. You can define the interval between these pulse signals. A longer interval
between pulse signals consumes less energy than a shorter interval, thus reducing idle current
requirements. You can set the interval between signals from two to 26.5 seconds.
High and Low Voltage Alarms & Cutoffs. The Prosine inverter/charger features integrated
circuitry to protect excessive charging and discharging of your batteries, and an audible warning alarm
to alert you to when high- and low-voltage conditions occur. You can use the ACS Control Panel to
specify the levels at which the alarms will sound, and at which the inverter/charger unit will cut off
and shut down. Alarm values cannot be outside the cutoff range. Ex: Low Cutoff Range = 11.0V; Low
Alarm must be 11.0V or higher.
