There's new firmware out today for the MATE3, you should probably try that. On Wed, Apr 27, 2016 at 8:31 PM, jay wrote: > HI All, > > I’ve got a problem that outback tech hasn’t been able to figure out. > > off grid system > mate 3 > quad stacked VFX 3648 > > The generator

Why size is the generator? How much load? On Wed, Apr 27, 2016 at 8:31 PM, jay wrote: > HI All, > > I’ve got a problem that outback tech hasn’t been able to figure out. > > off grid system > mate 3 > quad stacked VFX 3648 > > The generator is set to specific start/stop

Re: [RE-wrenches] Outback programing question

That is what we are doing as a temporary fix. According to outback the charger should stay off if it's set that way. It's unclear why it's not doing it. Actually opticsRE will allow full programming. No phone app ( darn) but computer yes. Jay > On Apr 29, 2016, at 7:41 PM, Ray Walters

Hi Jay; Ah, its for load shedding. How come the max input amps setting doesn't limit the total power drawn from the generator? That should throttle back the charging rate to maintain full power thru to the loads. Giving the batteries a 56 v for 5 min and dropping back to float wouldn't

Hi Ray, I guess my answer is that its way easier to switch one button with easy access than go deep into the menus and have to change 4 inverters. This situation is a short term thing. In this case it is an issue as the generator cannot handle both the chargers and the load. And he doesn’t

What's wrong with the chargers being on? Just set the charge settings (absorb 56 v, and absorb time 5 minutes) fairly low. It will lightly charge for a few minutes, and then go to float. Just because your customer imagines this to be a problem, doesn't mean it actually is. Its not going to

Re: [RE-wrenches] Outback programing question

When the generator is auto started, the inverter's charger will be enabled. After the generator is stopped, the inverter's charger will be returned to the mode before the generator started. The logic is if you are running the generator the Inverter's charger should be enabled. You could lower
