 Divert AC activates the AUX output to divert excess renewable energy to an AC load powered by the inverter, in
response to high DC (battery) voltage. The AUX output operates a larger relay, which allows current to flow from
the batteries to a dedicated AC load when energized.
NOTE :
~ If the inverter load exceeds the system amperage limit, the AUX output will deactivate to prevent an overload condition.
~ During variable conditions, the AUX output is activated no more than once per minute. This prevents rapid nuisance
cycling of the AC load in the event of rapidly changing battery conditions.
This function has settable DC voltage and time parameters.


AC Drop activates the AUX output whenever the inverter disconnects from an AC source. It can operate a
light (or alarm) to show that the utility grid has failed or that a generator has shut off. This menu has no
adjustable settings.
Set Points:
 Enable Voltage – Sets the high-voltage level at which the
Divert AC function activates the AUX output. It remains
active as long as the voltage remains above this set point.
 OFF Delay – Prevents the AUX output from activating again
for a certain amount of time, even if the voltage rises above
the
Enable Voltage set point again. This prevents nuisance
cycling of the Divert AC function.
