For example:
o
During cold weather, a battery often requires a higher charging voltage. Some inverters might not
accommodate these voltages and can shut down during charging, cutting off power to their loads.
o
During hot weather, limiting the
RTS Compensation
values assures the voltage stays high enough to
charge the batteries instead of dropping too low in reaction to a higher ambient temperature.
o
Battery manufacturer specifications indicate not to exceed a certain voltage or battery damage
could occur.
In all cases, the batteries should be monitored to ensure they are being charged according to
the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
RTS Compensation has two options available.
o
WIDE
allows the RTS full control over charging. This option uses the default values for the RTS.
o
LIMIT
sets the minimum and maximum voltages for the RTS.
Pressing the soft key below each option switches between the two options. When the LIMIT
option is visible, a <SET> soft key is available to advance to a screen that allows the user to
adjust the settings.
