Hello all,
In our installations in the developing world, we do not do auto start (things just don't generally work automatically...), but we use the GenAlert function to sound an alarm (telling the operator that the battery needs to be charged.) The alarm goes on at 47.2 VDC (48V system). We generally set it go off when the charging has taken the battery up to its float voltage parameter, but that does not mean that the generator goes off. (The audible portion of the alarm can be silences via a timer switch for up to 6 hours..) If the alarm is ignored, we have the LVD set at either 46 V or higher.
