for example, to prevent a low rated GenSet from overloading and thus avoid inverter disconnection due to GenSet
voltage drop or to set the maximum power that the Mains supply can deliver.
▪Downsized GenSet: Charging power is automatically reduced to avoid big load steps that cause a voltage /
frequency drop in small generators that make the inverter consider it as unreliable source. This function is
enabled when input current limit is <45A for 50Hz units or <90A for 60Hz units.
2.2.5. Auxiliary Output

11
▪Programmed Time Control
Click on the calendar widget to add timers as shown below. Time format period is 24h. A tick is displayed on the day
that a timer has been added. If no timers are added, the Timer Start condition is OFF.
▪Timer SOC Stop
Function that allows to add an extra condition to turn off the Remote Start signal if Battery SOC reached the SOC Stop
Setpoint. Therefore, is this function is enabled, the Timer Start will turn OFF if time gets to defined end period as usual
or if Battery gets to Stop setpoint.
2.2.6.2. Auxiliary Output Timer
Click on the clock widget to access the Auxiliary Output - Time Control tab as shown below.
▪Programmed Time Control

12
Same function as on Remote Control, where the calendar widget allows the user to add up to three times per day
every day of the week. If timers are added, the Auxiliary Output will enable only during timer period, and will be
disabled the rest of the time during that day. If no timers are added, the Auxiliary Output is Enabled.
The following scenario shows 2x timers has been added on Wednesday, therefore the Auxiliary Output status will be
as follows:
