IEEE

activates the AUX output as an alert that the utility grid does not meet IEEE parameters for the

grid-interactive function (see page 101). It can operate a light or alarm to show that the grid-interactive function
has shut down and that there may be problems with the grid. The AUX output will cycle on and off if IEEE
parameters are met and the IEEE timer is counting down. This function has no settable parameters. The output
deactivates if the timer has expired and normal parameters are met.

Source Status

activates the AUX output whenever the inverter accepts an AC source. It can operate a light or

alarm to show that the utility grid is present or that a generator has started. Alternately, it could be used to show
that the source has disconnected. This function has no settable parameters. The output deactivates if no AC
source is present.

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 controls a larger relay, which allows current to flow from
the batteries to a dedicated AC load when energized. The output deactivates following a delay when a low DC
voltage setting is reached. See the Radian Operator’s Manual for other conditions when this function may
be deactivated.

NOTE

:

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.

Figure 111 Divert AC

Set Points:

ON: Batt – Sets the high-voltage level at which the AC Divert

function activates the AUX output.

Delay – Sets the delay time after the ON: Batt setting is
reached before the AUX output is activated.

OFF: Batt – Sets the low-voltage level at which the AC Divert

function deactivates the AUX output.

Delay – Sets the delay time after the OFF: Batt setting is

reached before the AUX output is deactivated.
