4.2.2 Changing / Entering Parameter Values

Each parameter has a programmable range of values specic to the model number of the EVOTM. Please refer to Tables 4.3 and 4.5 to 4.8 and Sections 4.9 and 4.10 for details. During parameter programming, the displayed numerical value of the parameter consists of multiple digits that are necessary to display the highest numerical value within the programmable range. For example, the programmable range for the parameter BULK CURRENT for EVO1212F / 1212F-HW is 0-60A (Table 4.3). The highest numerical value is “60” and consists of

SECTION 4 | Parameter Setup

[Above screen is Screen 1 of Fig 3.2(a)]

Page 35

2 digits. Hence, for EVO-1212F / 1212F-HW, the numerical value of BULK CURRENT will be displayed /entered as 2 digits. For example, 1A will be displayed / entered as “1A”; 20A will be displayed / entered as "20A" and so on. The overall numerical value of the parameter is changed digit by digit starting from the 1st digit on the left. On entering the desired "Select Parameter" Screen (Figs 4.2 to 4.5), a curser will appear under the 1st digit and the cursor and the digit will be blinking. Scroll to the desired numerical value for the 1st digit using Up and Down Keys. Press the Enter Key momentarily to write the desired numerical value for the 1st digit. The curser will automatically move to the 2nd digit on the right. The 2nd digit and the curser and the digit will be blinking. Scroll to the desired numerical value for the 2nd digit with the help of Up and Down Keys. Then, press the Enter Key momentarily to write the desired numerical value for the 2nd digit. The overall numerical value of the parameter will be selected after scrolling to the desired numerical value for the last digit. Now, press the Enter Key, HOLD for 3 to 4 sec and then release. Process for writing the overall numerical value of the parameter into the memory will be initiated – the screen will display message “Writing…” followed by message “Write Success!”.

Please read Section 4.3.1 for example of programming a typical parameter – BULK CURRENT

INFO

1. When the numerical value for any individual digit is changed that makes the overall numerical value of the parameter outside the programmable range, an Exclamation Sign “!” will appear on the left of the display screen warning you to correct the overall numerical value of the parameter to within the programmable range before writing the new overall numerical value of the parameter to memory. See Tables 4.3 and 4.5 to 4.8 and Sections 4.9 and 4.10 for programmable ranges.

2. If, after scrolling to the desired numerical value for the last digit, the overall numerical value of the parameter is out of the programmable range, the Exclamation Sign “!” will continue to appear on the left of the display screen. If an attempt is made to write this “out of range overall numerical value” into the memory (by pressing and holding the Enter Key when the cursor is at the last digit), message “Out of range!” will be displayed and the screen will go back to display the originally stored value of the parameter. Parameter set up procedure will have to

be re-started.

3. If there is some problem in writing to the memory, message “Write failure!” will be displayed. Parameter set up procedure will have to be re-started.

4.3 PASSWORD PROTECTION FOR PARAMETER CHANGE

In the factory preset (Default) condition, all parameters except Time and Date are protected with a Password. This has been done to prevent accidental / unintentional changes of parameter values. When the required "Select Parameter" Screen is reached and is displayed and

Enter Key is pressed to modify the parameter value, the system will request a 4-digit Password. The Password is 8052. Once you Enter the Password correctly, you don’t need to enter the

Password again until any Key is not pressed for over 60 seconds. An example of Parameter setting is shown at Section 4.3.1. NOTE: Password protection may be disabled, if required – See Section 4.3.2.

This sets the maximum charging current during the Bulk Charging Stage. The default value is 20A for EVO-1212F / 1212F-HW, 15A for EVO-1224F / 1224F-HW and 40A for EVO-2212 / EVO-3012 / EVO-2224 / EVO-4024.

Normally, Lead Acid batteries should not be charged at very high Bulk Charging Current as this will damage the batteries due to overheating and cell degradation. Normal Bulk Charging

SECTION 4 | Parameter Setup

Current is in the range of 10% to 20% of the Ah capacity of the battery bank at C/20 Discharge Rate. Check with the battery manufacturer regarding recommended Bulk Charging Current for your battery bank. This value of “Bulk Charging Current” should be programmed as “BULK CURRENT”.

Please refer to Section 5.4 in the Owner’s Manual for EVOTM Inverter/Charger. In case External Solar Charge Controller is also charging the batteries through DC input terminals marked “EXT Charger” (3,4 in Fig 2.1 in Owner’s Manual for EvolutionTM Series Inverter/ Charger), the amount of Bulk Charging Current produced by the internal Battery Charging Section is adjusted in real time to satisfy the following condition:

• Internal Bulk Charging Current = Programmed Value of “BULK CURRENT” – External Charging Current

For example, if the “BULK CURRENT” in the EVO-1212F is programmed at say the default value of 20A and the external Solar Charge Controller is generating 15A, the internal Battery Charging Section of EVO-1212F will reduce its current from 20A to 5A so that the net charging current is equal to the programmed “BULK CURRENT” value of 20A

INFO

In order to protect against over temperature shut down when operating in higher

ambient temperatures, the set value of “BULK CURRENT” is automatically reduced as follows based on temperature sensed at the Power Transformer and at the Heat Sink for the Power Mosfets:

1. Models: EVO-2212, EVO-3012, EVO-2224 and EVO-4024

• Power Transformer Temperature > 130°C: (i) EVO-2212: Reduce by 4A ev-

ery 10 sec, (ii) EVO-3012: Reduce by 20A every 10 sec, (iii) EVO-2224: Reduce by 1A every 10 sec, (iv) EVO-4024: Reduce by 5A every 10 sec.

• Heat Sink Temperature is > 65 °C: (i) EVO-2212: Reduce by 4A every 10

sec, (ii) EVO-3012: Reduce by 20A every 10 sec, (iii) EVO-2224: Reduce by 1A every 10 sec, (iv) EVO-4024: Reduce by 5A every 10 sec.

2. Models EVO-1212F, EVO-1212F-HW, EVO-1224F and EVO-1224F-HW

4.4.2.6 BATT OVER VOLT (Table 4.3, Screen No. 6)

This parameter sets the upper battery voltage threshold at which inverting / charging operations are switched OFF to protect the unit against damage due to battery overvoltage:

• AC input is not available and EVOTM Inverter/Charger is operating in Inverting

Mode: When the battery voltage rises to the set upper threshold of “BATT OVER VOLT”, the Inverter Section will be shut down and fault message “Battery over voltage!” will be displayed on the LCD screen. The Blue LED marked “Status” will switch OFF and the Red LED marked “Fault” will remain ON steady. The buzzer on EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep steady. The fault will be cleared automatically when the battery voltage drops to 0.5V below the set upper threshold of “BATT OVER VOLT”

• AC input is available and EVOTM Inverter/Charger is operating in Charging Mode:

When the battery voltage rises to the set upper threshold of “BATT OVER VOLT”, the Transfer Relay will be de-energized, charging and pass through will be stopped and PWM drive to the Inverter Section will be switched OFF. Fault message “Battery over voltage!” will be displayed on the LCD screen. The Blue LED marked “Status” will switch OFF and the Red LED marked “Fault” will remain ON steady. The Buzzer on EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep steady. The fault will be cleared automatically when the battery voltage drops to 0.5V below to the set upper threshold of “BATT OVER VOLT”. The unit will start in Inverting Mode, synchronize with the AC input and then, the Transfer Relay will be energized to transfer to AC input at zero crossing. The unit will, thus, resume operation in “Charging Mode”.

4.4.2.8 LOW VOLT ALARM (Table 4.3, Screen No. 8)

• When inverting, if battery voltage is under the set value of "LOW VOLTAGE ALARM", the

Red LED marked "Fault" ashes once per second. The buzzer in EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep once per second.

• If automatic starting / stopping of Generator is used with "RELAY FUNCTION" pro-

grammed at "2=Generator 0" [Section 4.8.2.5.2(a)] or "3= Generator 1" [Section

4.8.2.5.2(b)] or "4= Generator 2" [Section 4.8.2.5.2(c)], the Relay will turn ON if the battery voltage drips to the value of "LOW VOLTAGE ALARM" and remains at this level or lower for time period equal to the value of "GS DETECT TIME" (Section 4.4.2.16). Turning ON of the relay will automatically start the Generator [Refer to Sections 4.8.2.5.2(a) to (c) for details].

• If parameter "MODE" is programmed at "1= Online" (see Section 4.4.2.13) and param-

eter "ONLINE OPTION" is programmed at 0= Option 1" or "1 = Option 2" (see Section

4.4.2.14), the Transfer Relay will be switched ON if the battery voltage drops to the programmed value of "LOW VOLTAGE ALARM" or lower for a period equal to the parameter "GS DETECT TIME" (Section 4.4.2.16). Switching ON of the Transfer Relay will initiate battery charging and AC pass-through (See Section 4.4.2.14 for details).

4.4.2.9 BATT LOW VOLTAGE (Table 4.3, Screen No. 9)

This parameter sets the battery low voltage threshold at which the Inverter Section / the complete EVOTM Inverter/Charger will be shut down to protect the battery from deep discharge:

• When the battery voltage drops to the set threshold of “BATT LOW VOLTAGE”, the Red

LED marked “Fault” will ash once per second. The buzzer in EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep once per second. The Inverter Section will continue to operate normally and the Blue LED marked “Status” will continue to be ON steady.

• If the battery voltage stays at or below the above threshold for duration equal to the “LV

DETECT TIME” (Section 4.4.2.10), only the Inverter Section will be switched OFF and fault message “Battery low voltage!” will be displayed. The Blue LED marked “Status” will be switched OFF and the Red LED marked “Fault” will remain ON steady. The buzzer in EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep steady.

• If the “Battery low voltage!” fault condition is not reset within the “LV CUTOFF TIME”

(Section 4.4.2.11), the EVOTM Inverter/Charger will be shut down completely after “LV CUTOFF TIME” has elapsed (LCD Display / LED / Buzzer will be OFF).

• If the batteries are charged by external Solar Charge Controller connected directly to the

batteries or through the External Charger Input (3, 4 in Fig 2.1 in the Owner's Manual for EvolutionTM Series Inverter/Chargers) and the battery voltage recovers to the set “RESET VOLTAGE” (Section 4.4.2.7) before the expiry of “LV CUT OFF TIME” (Section 4.4.2.11), while in “Battery low voltage!” fault condition, the Inverter Section will restart and the “Battery low voltage!” fault condition will be cleared.

• While in “Battery low voltage!” fault condition, if AC input is made available before the

expiry of “LV CUT OFF TIME” (Section 4.4.2.11), the “Battery low voltage!” fault condition will be cleared. The EVOTM Inverter/Charger will restart in Inverter Mode, synchronize with the AC input and then, transfer to the AC input at zero crossing. It will now operate in Charging Mode.

4.4.2.10 LV DETECT TIME (Table 4.3, Screen No. 10)

To prevent "Battery low voltage!" fault and shut down of the inverter due to momentary dips in battery voltage as a result of high power, short duration AC loading (e.g. motor starting, inrush current etc.), a timer is used to qualify "BATT LOW VOLTAGE"(Section 4.4.2.9) condition only if the battery voltage drops to or below the set “BATT LOW VOLTAGE” threshold for the set “LV DETECT TIME” (Section 4.4.2.10). The timer starts as soon as the battery voltage drops to the set threshold of “BATT LOW VOLTAGE” described at Section 4.4.2.9.

4.4.2.11 LV CUT OFF TIME (Table 4.3, Screen No. 11)

Even when the Inverter Section is shut down due to “Battery low voltage!” fault condition as described above, there will still be some power drawn from the battery to keep the other circuitry in the EVOTM Inverter/Charger alive so that the inverter can be switched on when the fault gets cleared automatically after the battery has been recharged to the “RESET VOLTAGE” (Section 4.4.2.7) or when AC input voltage is available. However, if the fault is not cleared over a long period of time, the battery may get completely discharged. Hence, a timer is used to record the duration of “Battery low voltage!” condition. The EVOTM Inverter/Charger will be completely shut down (LCD Display / LED / Buzzer will be OFF) when the duration of the “Battery low voltage!” fault condition as described above is equal to the “LV CUT OFF TIME”.

The EVOTM will change over to “Charging Mode” and qualied AC input from the Grid will be passed through to the AC Output and at the same time, the Internal AC Charger will start charging the battery. If an external Solar Charge Controller is also connected to the External Charging Terminals (3 and 4, Fig 2.1 in Owner's Manual for EvolutionTM Series Inverter/Charger), the internal AC Charger will limit the charging current to a value = (Programmed Value of "BULK CURRENT" – Value of Current fed from the external Solar Charge Controller).

• Charging will take place as per the charging prole set through the programmable

parameter "CHARGING PROFILE" (Section 4.4.2.21).

• Transfer Relay will be switched OFF (de-energized) on entering “Float Stage” on

completion of “Absorption Stage” and the unit will change over to “Inverting Mode” (NOTE: The battery will be charged to 100% State of Charge after the Transfer Relay has de-energized on entering Float Stage)

1= Option 2:

• The Transfer Relay will be switched ON (energized) if the battery voltage drops to

“LOW VOLT ALARM” (Section 4.4.2.8), or lower for sustained period = “GS DETECT TIME” (Section 4.4.2.16). The EVOTM will change over to “Charging Mode” and qualied AC input from the Grid will be passed through to the AC Output and at the same time, the Internal AC Charger will start charging the battery. If an external Solar Charge Controller is also connected to the External Charging Terminals (3 and 4, Fig 2.1 in Owner's Manual for EvolutionTM Series Inverter/Charger), the internal AC Charger will limit the charging current to a value = (Programmed Value of "BULK CURRENT" – Value of Current fed from the external Solar Charge Controller).

• Charging will proceed as per the charging prole set through the programmable

parameter "CHARGING PROFILE" (Section 4.4.2.21).

• The Transfer Relay will be switched OFF (de-energized) after the programmed value of

“GEN OFF DELAY” (Section 4.4.2.18) counted from the time the battery voltage rises to the programmed value of “RESET VOLTAGE” (Section 4.4.2.7). The unit will exit “Charg-

ing Mode” and revert to “Inverting” Mode. NOTE: There is a possibility that the following situations may occur: (i) The battery voltage may rise higher than the programmed value of "RESET

VOLTAGE" up to the programed value of "ABSORP VOLTAGE" (If the programmed value of "ABSORP VOLTAGE" is > the "RESET VOLTAGE") due to continuation of charging for the programmed value of "GEN OFF DELAY" after the voltage has reached the programmed value of "RESET VOLTAGE"

(ii) The battery may not be charged fully after the Transfer Relay has de-energized

because the programmed values of "RESET VOLTAGE" and "GEN OFF DELAY" may not match the desired Absorption Voltage / Absorption Time of the battery being used.

4.4.2.22 BATTERY TYPE (Table 4.3, Screen No. 22)

Parameter “BATTERY TYPE” is used to change the function of the Temperature Sensor Jack on the EVOTM Inverter / Chargers (6, Fig 2.1 in the EVOTM Manual) to accept potential free relay contact closure control signal from the Battery Management System (BMS) of Lithium Battery for stopping charging / inverting. The Battery Charger Section is designed to operate with either Lead Acid Battery or Lithium Battery. The default setting is 0=Lead Acid where the Temperature Sensor Jack will be used for battery temperature compensation.

When using Lithium Battery where its BMS has capability of generating contact closure control signal for stopping charging / inverting, programmable parameter “BATTERY TYPE” has to be changed from Setting 0=Lead Acid (Default setting) to Setting 1=Lithium.

NOTE: Parameter “CHARGING PROFILE” (Section 4.4.2.21)will be required to be programmed

to select the desired charging prole for the Lithium Battery from the following options:

• 0=3 Stage Adaptive (Default for Lead Acid Battery)

• 1=3 Stage Type 1

• 2=3 Stage Type 2

• 3=2 Stage Type 1

• 4=2 Stage Type 2

[For details, please refer to parameter “CHARGING PROFILE” explained under

Section 4.4.2.21 above]

Lead Acid Battery charging voltages are required to be compensated based on the temperature of the battery cells. Hence, Battery Temperature Sensor [Fig 2.5(a) in the EVOTM Manual] is required to be connected to the RJ-45 Jack marked “Battery Temp. Sensor” (6, Fig 2.1 in the EVOTM Manual). Please see details at Section 3.15 in the EVOTM Manual for Models EVO-1212F / 1212F-HW / 1224F / 1224F-HW.

Charging voltages of Lithium Battery are not affected by temperature and hence, Battery Temperature Sensor is not required to be used.

Pins 4 and 5 of the RJ-45 Jack marked “Battery Temp. Sensor” (6, Fig 2.1) are required to be connected to the Normally Open Contacts of relay in the Battery Management System (BMS) of the Lithium Battery for “Stop Charging or “Stop Inverting” signals (For details, refer to Section 3.16 of the EVOTM Manual for Models EVO-1212F / 1212F-HW / 1224F / 1224F-HW). The BMS will close the Relay contacts as follows:

• To “Stop Charging”: Due to (i) overvoltage of individual cell / overall battery pack, or (ii) over temperature of individual cell or overall battery pack

• To “Stop Inverting”: Due to deep discharge to the level of Low Battery Cut Off Voltage

When the Relay contacts in the BMS close, Pins 4 and 5 of RJ-45 Jack will be shorted. The following actions will be activated:

• EVOTM in Charging Mode: The charging will stop (charging current will be reduced to 0A). The 2nd Line of the Charging Mode Screens shown in the Menu Map for Charging Mode Screens [Fig 3.1(a) and 3.3(b)] will show “Charger Off by BMS” as shown in example below for Screen No. 1

4.5.2.2 GRID MAX CURRENT / GEN MAX CURRENT (Table 4.5, Screen Nos. 2 & 3)

In Charging Mode, the net AC input current from the Grid/Generator is the sum of the AC side charging current and the pass through load current. Based on the rated capacity of the Grid Branch Circuit/Generator, the net AC input current will be required to be limited to prevent overloading of the Grid Branch Circuit/Generator.

EVOTM Series has a very powerful battery charger that will require a proportionate higher AC input current from the Grid/Generator. The Grid Branch Circuit/Generator will also be required to provide current to the AC loads. The desired maximum value of input current from Grid/ Generator can be programmed (Default setting is 20A for Models EVO-1212F / 1212F-HW / 1224F / 1224F-HW and 30A for Models EVO-2212 / 3012 / 2224 / 4024). The EVOTM will automatically reduce charging current to support the AC loads on priority and use whatever is extra for charging. This will prevent overloading of the Grid Branch Circuit/Generator. If the AC input current is over the setting value by 1A for 5 seconds, the EVOTM Inverter/Charger will stop outputting and display an error message “Input over current!” on LCD screen. For more details, please refer to Section 5.2.1 of the Owner's Manual for EvolutionTM Series Inverter/Charger.

4.8.2.5.1 (b) Automatic Starting and Stopping of Generator (Options 2, 3 and 4)

NOTE: Applicable for Models EVO-2212 / 3012 / 2224 / 4024 ONLY.

INFO

The following programmable parameters have been referred to in the description below. Links to detailed information on these parameters are given below:

• “LOW VOLT ALARM”: Please refer to Section 4.4.2.8

• “GS DETECT TIME”: Please refer to Section 4.4.2.16

• “EQUALIZE-4STAGES”: Please refer to Section 4.4.2.12

• “GEN ON TIME”: Please refer to Section 4.4.2.17

• “GEN OFF TIME”: Please refer to Section 4.4.2.18

• “RESET VOLTAGE”: Please refer to Section 4.4.2.7

The Normally Open “NO” and “Common” contacts of Status Relay (14, Fig 2.1 in the Owner's Manual for EvolutionTM Series Inverter/Charger Models EVO-2212 / 3012 / 2224 / 4024) can be used to also automatically start and stop generator through appropriate external Generator Auto Start / Stop Module. 3 options (Options 2, 3 and 4) explained below are available for carrying out this function depending upon user requirements. The “Common” and “NO” terminals are wired to the optional Generator Auto Start / Stop Control Module which, in turn, is wired to the Remote Start / Stop connections on the Generator. The AC output terminals of the Generator are wired to the Generator Input Terminals on the EVOTM (7, 8, 9 in Fig 2.3 in Owner's Manual for EVOTM Series Inverter/Charger Models EVO-2212 / 3012 / 2224 / 4024). For installation details, please refer to Section 3.15 / Fig 3.13 and Section 3.16 / Fig 3.14 in the Owner's Manual for EVOTM Series Inverter/Charger Models EVO-2212 / 3012 / 2224 / 4024.

INFO

It is recommended that “GSCM-Mini” Series of Generator Start / Stop Control Module, appropriate for the generator to be used, may ordered directly from Atkinson Electronics www.atkinsonelectronics.com

Based on the Generator Start Logic contained in of one of the selected Options 2, 3 or 4 explained below, the Status Relay will be switched ON (energized), its “Common” and “NO” contacts will close and the external Generator Start / Stop Control Module will initiate automatic starting of the Generator. Once the Generator has started and starts feeding AC output to EVOTM (within the programmed limits of voltage and frequency), the EVOTM will be synchronized with the Generator and once synchronization is completed, the load will be transferred instantly (within 1 ms) to the Generator at Zero Crossing of the voltage waveform for seamless transfer and for better protection of Transfer Relay contacts. The EVOTM will now operate in “Charging Mode” with the AC power from the Generator charging the batteries as well as providing power to the AC load(s).

Based on the Generator Stop Logic contained in one of the selected Options 2, 3 or 4 explained below, the Status Relay will be switched OFF (de-energized), its “Common” and “NO” contacts will open and the external Generator Auto Start Control Control Module will initiate automatic stopping of the Generator. When AC output of the generator is shut down, the EVOTM will automatically transfer the AC load(s) to the “Inverter Section” within 16 ms.

SECTION 4 | Parameter Setup

Relay Options 2, 3 and 4 related to automatic starting and stopping of generator are explained below:

4.8.2.5.2(a) Option 2 = Generator 0 (This is the Default Option):

This Option will start the Generator at “LOW VOLT ALARM” and stop the Generator when the batteries are fully charged till completion of 3-Stage Charging Cycle.

• If the battery voltage drops to “LOW VOLT ALARM” [(i) for 12V: 9.5V – 12.5V / Default 11.0V

(ii) for 24V: 19.0V – 25.0V / Default 22.0V] or lower for continuous period = “GS DETECT TIME” (0-600 sec; Default 10 sec), the Status Relay will be energized. “Common” and “NO” contacts of the Status Relay will close to initiate automatic starting of the Generator.

• Once the generator has started and starts feeding AC output (within the programmed

limits of voltage and frequency), the EVOTM will change over from “Inverting Mode” to “Charging Mode”. Battery charging will be initiated as per full and complete 3-Stage Charging Algorithm ("EQUALIZE-4STAGES", Option 0 = No).

• On entering “Float Stage” on completion of “Absorption Stage”, the Status Relay will be

switched OFF (de-energized). “Common” and “NO” contacts of the Status Relay will open to initiate automatic stopping of the Generator. When AC output from the Generator switches OFF, EVOTM will change over to “Inverting Mode” (NOTE: The battery will be charged to 100% State of Charge after the Transfer Relay has de-energized on entering Float Stage).

4.8.2.5.2 (b) Option 3 = Generator 1

This Option will start the Generator at “LOW VOLT ALARM” and stop the Generator when the batteries are charged to the desired programmed level of voltage (“RESET VOLTAGE”) and stay at this desired level of voltage or higher for the desired programmed time period = “GEN OFF DELAY”.

• If the battery voltage drops to “LOW VOLT ALARM” [(i) for 12V: 9.5V – 12.5V / Default 11.0V (ii)

for 24V: 19.0V – 25.0V / Default 22.0V] or lower for continuous period = “GS DETECT TIME” (0600 sec; Default 10 sec), the Status Relay will be switched ON (energized). “Common” and “NO” contacts of the Status Relay will close to initiate automatic starting of the Generator.

• Once the generator has started and starts feeding AC output (within the programmed

• When the batteries are charged to the desired programmed level of voltage = “RESET

VOLTAGE” [(i) for 12V: 12.0V – 17.0V / Default 14.0V (ii) for 24V: 24.0V – 35.0V / Default

28.0V] and stay at this desired level of voltage, or higher for the desired programmed time period = “GEN OFF DELAY” (0-240 min; Default 60 min), the Status Relay will be switched OFF (de-energized). “Common” and “NO” contacts of the Status Relay will open to initiate automatic stopping of the Generator. When AC output from the Generator switches OFF, EVOTM will change over to “Inverting Mode” (NOTE: The State of Charge of the battery after the Status Relay has been switched OFF (de-energized) and Generator is stopped will be indeterminate).

4.8.2.5.2 (c) Option 4 = Generator 2

This Option will start the Generator at “LOW VOLT ALARM” and stop the Generator after the desired programmed value of run time of the Generator = “GEN ON TIME” (0-240 min; Default = 60 min) counted from the time the Status Relay is switched ON (energized).

Fault Message Symptoms and Trouble Shooting

Battery low voltage!

• EVO

Inverter/Charger is in FAULT MODE because the battery voltage has dropped to

the set lower threshold of “BATT LOW VOLTAGE”

• When the battery voltage drops to the set lower threshold of “BATT LOW VOLTAGE”, activation of this fault protection is initiated. The Red LED marked “Fault” will ash once per second and the buzzer in EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep once per second. The Inverter Section will continue to operate normally and the Blue LED marked “Status” will continue to be ON steady (NOTE: Fault message “Battery low voltage!” will not be displayed during this time)

• If the battery voltage stays at or below the above threshold for duration equal to the set “LV DETECT TIME”, only the Inverter Section will be switched OFF and fault message “Battery low voltage!” will be displayed. The Red LED marked “Fault” will now change to steady ON, the Blue LED marked “Status” will switch OFF and the buzzer in EVO

Inverter/Charger will now beep steady. If the “Battery low voltage!” fault condition is not reset within the “LV CUT OFF TIME”, EVO

Inverter/Charger will be shut down completely after the expiry

of “LV CUT OFF TIME” (LCD Display / LED / Buzzer will be OFF).

• If the batteries are charged by external charger connected directly to the batteries or through the External Charger Input (3, 4 in Fig 2.1 in EVO

Inverter/Charger Manual) and the battery voltage recovers to the set “RESET VOLTAGE” before the expiry of “LV CUT OFF TIME” while in “Battery low voltage!” fault condition, the Inverter Section will restart and “Battery low voltage!” fault condition will be cleared.

• While in “Battery low voltage!” fault condition, if AC input is made available before the expiry of “LV CUT OFF TIME”, the “Battery low voltage!” fault condition will be cleared. The EVOTM Inverter/Charger will restart in Inverter Mode, synchronize with the AC input and then, transfer to the AC input at zero crossing. It will now operate in Charging Mode

Battery ultra low voltage!

• EVO

Inverter/Charger is in FAULT MODE because the battery voltage has dropped to 9V or lower for the 12VDC input Models EVO-1212F / 1212F-HW / 2212 / 3012 or to 18 V or lower for the 24 VDC input Models EVO-1224F / 1224F-HW / 2224 / 4024.

• When the battery voltage drops to 9V or lower for the 12 VDC version of EVOTM Inverter/ Charger or 18V or lower for the 24 VDC version, only the Inverter Section will be switched OFF and message “Battery ultra low voltage!” will be displayed. Red LED marked “Fault” will be steady ON, the Blue LED marked “Status” will be switched OFF and the buzzer in EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep steady.

• When the duration in “Battery ultra low voltage!” fault condition is equal to the set duration of “LV DETECT TIME”, the message will change to “Battery low voltage!” If “Battery low voltage!” fault condition is not reset within the “LV CUT OFF TIME”, EVOTM

Inverter/Charger will be shut down completely after the expiry of “LV CUT OFF TIME” (LCD Display / LED / Buzzer will be OFF).

• If the batteries are charged by external charger connected directly to the batteries or through the External Charger Input (3, 4 in Fig 2.1 in EVOTM Inverter/Charger Manual) and the battery voltage recovers to the set “RESET VOLTAGE” before the expiry of “LV CUT OFF TIME” while in “Battery low voltage!” fault condition, the Inverter Section will restart and “Battery low voltage!” fault condition will be cleared.

Battery over voltage!

EVOTM Inverter/Charger is in FAULT MODE because the battery voltage has risen to the set upper threshold of “BATT OVER VOLTAGE”

(a) AC input is not available and EVOTM Inverter/Charger is operating in Inverting Mode:

• There will be no AC output because the Inverter Section will be switched OFF. The Blue LED marked “Status” will be switched OFF and the Red LED marked “Fault” will be steady ON. The buzzer in EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep steady

• The fault will be cleared automatically when the battery voltage drops to 0.5V below the set upper threshold of “BATT OVER VOLT”

(b) AC input is available and EVOTM Inverter/Charger is operating in Charging Mode:

• There will be no AC output or charging because the Transfer Relay will be de-energized and PWM drive to the Inverter Section will be switched OFF.

• The fault will be cleared automatically when the battery voltage drops to 0.5V below to the set upper threshold of “BATT OVER VOLT”. The EVOTM Inverter/Charger will restart in Inverting Mode, synchronize with the AC input and then, the Transfer Relay will be energized to transfer to AC input at zero crossing. The unit will, thus, resume operation in “Charging Mode”

Input over current!

EVO

Inverter/Charger is in FAULT MODE because the input current being drawn from the AC input source (Input current = Charging Current + Pass Through Current to the load) is 1A more than the set threshold of “ GRID MAX CURRENT” / "GEN MAX CURRENT" for 5 seconds (current is sampled every 33.3 µs).

• There will be no AC output because the Transfer Relay will be de-energized, charging will

be stopped and PWM drive to the Inverter Section will be switched OFF. The Blue LED marked “Status” will be switched OFF and the Red LED marked “Fault” will be steady ON. The buzzer in EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep steady

• EVOTM Inverter/Charger will be latched in OFF condition and will require manual reset

by powering OFF, waiting for 1 minute and then powering ON again

• The set threshold of “ GRID MAX CURRENT” / "GEN MAX CURRENT" (Section 4.5.2.2)

should match the breaker capacity of the AC input source / AC input Branch Circuit. If AC input current capacity cannot be increased, reduce the AC load / “BULK CURRENT” (Section 4.4.2.1) accordingly.

Output over current!

EVO

Inverter/Charger is in FAULT MODE because the instantaneous output current being drawn by the AC load in Inverting Mode is 330% of the rated value of the EVO

Inverter/Charger for 2 samples (current is sampled every 33.3 µs).

• There will be no AC output because the Inverter Section will be switched OFF. The Blue

LED marked “Status” will be switched OFF and the Red LED marked “Fault” will be steady ON. The buzzer in EVO

Inverter/Charger will beep steady

• EVO

Inverter/Charger will be latched in OFF condition and will require manual

reset by powering OFF, waiting for 1 minute and then powering ON again

• Ensure that the maximum instantaneous surge current of the load is not more than

300% of the rated current of the EVO

Inverter/Charger for 1 millisecond

EVO

Inverter/Charger is in FAULT MODE because of overload conditions in Inverting Mode:

• There will be no AC output because the Inverter Section will be switched OFF. The Blue

LED marked “Status” will be switched OFF and the Red LED marked “Fault” will be steady ON. The buzzer in EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep steady

• EVOTM Inverter/Charger will be latched in OFF condition and will require manual

reset by powering OFF, waiting for 1 minute and then powering ON again

• Ensure that overloading is limited to the specied limit

Output over load!

Output voltage is less than 96Vrms for 300 cycles (5 seconds at 60Hz)

Output over load 1!

Output power is over the Power Boost Rating: 110% for 30 min

Output over load 2!

Output power is over the Power Boost Rating:

• 120% for 10 min for EVO-1212F / 1212F / 1224F / 1224F-HW

• 120% for 5 min for EVO-2212 / 3012 / 2224 / 4024

Output over load 3!

Output power is over the Power Boost Rating:

• 140% for 1 min for EVO-1212F / 1212F / 1224F / 1224F-HW

• 140% for 30 sec for EVO-2212 / 3012 / 2224 / 4024

Output over load 4!

Output power is over the Power Boost Rating:

• 150% for 30 sec for EVO-1212F / 1212F / 1224F / 1224F-HW

• 150% for 5 sec for EVO-2212 / 3012 / 2224 / 4024

EVO

Inverter/Charger is in FAULT MODE because there is a short circuit on the output side in Inverter Mode. Short circuit protection is activated when: (i) EVO-1212F/1212F- HW/1224F/1224F-HW: Output voltage is < 15Vrms for 6 cycles and output current is > the rated output current of 10.00Arms, (ii) EVO-2212/2224: Output voltage is < 15Vrms for 6 cycles and output current is > the rated output current of 18.33Arms (iii) EVO-3012: Output voltage is < 15Vrms for 6 cycles and output current is > the rated output current of 25.00Arms and (iv) EVO-4024: Output voltage is < 15Vrms for 6 cycles and output current is > the rated output current of 33.33Arms

• There is no AC output because the Inverter Section has been switched OFF. The Blue

LED marked “Status” will be switched OFF and the Red LED marked “Fault” will be steady ON. The buzzer in EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep steady

• EVOTM Inverter/Charger will be latched in OFF condition and will require manual reset

by powering OFF, waiting for 1 minute and then powering ON again

NOTE: If there is short circuit condition in Charging Mode i.e. when AC input is available,

short circuit condition on the output side will trip the AC input breaker. The load will be transferred to the Inverter Section and the Inverter Section will then see short circuit condition and will shut down as described above

Output failure!

EVO

Inverter/Charger is in FAULT MODE because AC input from Grid / Generator has been connected to the AC Output terminals by mistake. 10VAC or above seen at the AC Output Terminals at the time of boot up of EVOTM Inverter/Charger will activate this protection

• The Blue LED marked “Status” will be switched OFF and the Red LED marked “Fault”

will be steady ON. The buzzer in EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep steady

Transfer Relay will be de-energized and the Inverter Section will be switched OFF.

• Check that the fans are working properly, there is no blockage of air suction and

discharge vents, adequate cool replacement air is available and the ambient temperature is within the limits. Reduce the load / “BULK CURRENT” (Section 4.4.2.1)

• The fault will be cleared when the transformer has cooled down to 80°C

Heat sink over heat!

EVO

Inverter/Charger is in FAULT MODE because the internal heat sink in the EVOTM Inverter/ Charger has overheated to 70°C

• The Blue LED marked “Status” will be switched OFF and the Red LED marked “Fault” will

be steady ON. The buzzer in EVOTM Inverter/Charger will beep steady

• If in Inverting Mode, Inverter Section will be switched OFF. If in Charging Mode, the

Transfer Relay will be de-energized and the Inverter Section will be switched OFF.

• Check that the fans are working properly, there is no blockage of air suction and discharge

vents, adequate cool replacement air is available and the ambient temperature is within the limits. Reduce the load and “BULK CURRENT” (Section 4.4.2.1)
