Start DCV 2 hr
Full name Starting Battery Voltage—2 hours
Purpose The “Start DCV 2 hr” trigger enables the XW Auto Generator Start to
start the generator whenever the battery voltage reaches or drops below a
pre-set voltage for longer than 2 hours.
Dependencies The “Start DCV 2 hr” trigger requires the XW Auto Generator Start to be
in Automatic mode and needs the “Stop Absorb” or “Stop Float” trigger
be enabled or a parameter to be set for the “Stop V” trigger.
Considerations If the voltage trigger is set too high, the generator will start more
frequently than is convenient.
If the voltage trigger is set too low, the batteries may be damaged by
repeated cycles of excessive discharge. The generator running time
necessary to charge the batteries may exceed “Max Run Time” and use
too much fuel in the process.
Battery Voltage
Information
Battery voltage can be monitored from the System screen or the inverter/
charger menu.
If “Stop Float” or “Stop Absorb” has been enabled, the generator will stop
when the Float or Absorption stages of the battery charging have begun.
If the “Stop V” is used, the generator will stop when the battery voltage
reaches the parameter set in this trigger, regardless of whether the
batteries are charged.
Values Default
Disabled, 4.0 V to 65.0 V Disabled
