SECTION 2 | Installation 2.0 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES EVO-RC-PLUS is provided with 10M/33ft, RJ-45 data cable (straight wired). Check the proposed routing distance of the wire and use longer wire, if necessary. • Flush mounting of the Remote requires appropriate cut-out in the wall/panel - See Fig 2.1. Full scale installation Template for panel cut-out and pilot holes for mounting screws is also provided along with the unit.
PAGE 7
SECTION 2 | Installation 1. Cut an opening in the wall using the supplied Installation Template (based on Fig 2.1). 2. Drill four pilot holes (use 2mm / 5/64" diameter drill bit) for 4 screw (Self Taping, Flat Head No. 6 x 5/8" long) that will attach the remote to the wall (refer to Fig. 2.1 for hole locations and dimensions). 3. Route one end of the cable through wall opening to the EVO Inverter/Charger, and then plug it into the RJ-45 Remote Control Jack port on the EVO Inverter/Charger TM TM 4.

SECTION 4 | Parameter Setup 4.4.2.5 COMPENSATE (Table 4.3, Screen No. 5) This parameter sets the temperature compensation for the battery. The operational range of the EVO Inverter/Charger is -20°C to 60°C. TM This compensation voltage will affect the Absorption Voltage/Equalize Voltage/Floating Voltage/ Batt Over Volt/Restart Voltage/Low Volt Alarm/Batt Low Voltage when the Temperature Sensor is installed on the battery (see Fig 2.5 in the Owner's Manual for Evolution Series Inverter/Charger).
PAGE 45
SECTION 4 | Parameter Setup 4.4.2.7 RESET VOLTAGE (Table 4.3, Screen No. 7) • T he inverter will restart when the battery voltage rises to this set value or above after "Battery low voltage!" shutdown occurs. • If automatic starting / stopping of Generator is used with RELAY FUNCTION set at "3= Generator 1" [Section 4.8.2.5.2(b)], the Relay will turn off when the battery voltage remains at this value or higher for time period equal to "GEN OFF DELAY" (Section 4.4.2.18).
PAGE 46
SECTION 4 | Parameter Setup 4.4.2.9 BATT LOW VOLTAGE (Table 4.3, Screen No. 9) This parameter sets the battery low voltage threshold at which the Inverter Section / the complete EVO Inverter/Charger will be shut down to protect the battery from deep discharge: TM • When the battery voltage drops to the set threshold of “BATT LOW VOLTAGE”, the Red LED marked “Fault” will flash once per second. The buzzer in EVO Inverter/Charger will beep once per second.
PAGE 47
SECTION 4 | Parameter Setup 4.4.2.10 LV DETECT TIME (Table 4.3, Screen No. 10) To prevent "Battery low voltage!" fault and shut down of the inverter due to momentary dips in battery voltage as a result of high power, short duration AC loading (e.g. motor starting, inrush current etc.), a timer is used to qualify "BATT LOW VOLTAGE"(Section 4.4.2.9) condition only if the battery voltage drops to or below the set “BATT LOW VOLTAGE” threshold for the set “LV DETECT TIME” (Section 4.4.2.10).
