NOTE:
In FX-class grid-interactive inverters, Input Type also controls the cycle used by the inverter’s battery
charger. This overrides the selections offered in the Charger Status screen. (See page 56.)
 Grid selects a charge cycle consisting of bulk, absorption, and float stages. Upon completion, the charger goes
into Silent mode until it reaches the “re-float” voltage, when it will re-enter the float stage.
 Gen selects a charge cycle consisting of bulk, absorption and float stages. Upon completion, the charger
remains in the float stage to maintain the batteries until the AC input is disconnected.
IMPORTANT:
The Input Type selection also controls other AC source parameters, as
described in the inverter Operator’s Manual. If Gen is selected, a
grid-interactive inverter will not sell power. However, the AGS function
(see page 116) will function even if
Grid is selected.
The above material does not apply to Radian-class inverters, or to FX-class inverters without
grid-interactive functions.
IMPORTANT:
Selecting the charge cycle does not automatically activate the charger. If the
charger is deactivated, it must still be activated using the
Charger Status
screen. (See page 56.)
