What Is Energy Management?
Selectronic have developed the ENERGY MANAGEMENT feature as a means of
understanding your power system. By incorporating ENERGY MANAGEMENT our
SA Series inverters will continually interrogate and provide you with
vital information to help you understand and control your system. ENERGY
MANAGEMENT means no more guess work, just facts to get the most out of
your remote power system.
Displays
At the heart of the SA Series inverters is a Liquid Crystal Display
and keypad. The illuminated display will actively show you INVERTER
STATUS, TIME and DAY, AC VOLTS, AC AMPS and BATTERY VOLTS. The display
will also alert you to the cause of any inverter shutdown due to high
or low DC volts, AC overload and temperature overload. A set of diagnostic
readings can also be accessed to assist in remote trouble shooting.
All of these ENERGY MANAGEMENT features may be displayed, set and controlled
at any convenient location by using the optional
remote key pad.
Amp Hour Meter
When used with the optional external current
shunt, the SA Series inverters will monitor all charge and discharge
currents. The display will show a NETT current figure and continually
calculate the charge in your battery. The SA Series inverters will also
log MINIMUM BATTERY CHARGE each day for up to 30 days or each week up
to 52 weeks, essential information for maximising battery life. DAILY
PEAK CHARGING is also displayed - a consistent figure in this screen
will indicate that charging sources are working correctly.
Control Outputs
Two outputs are supplied which can be configured to control external
circuits. These outputs can be set to come on with TIME and DAY, INVERTER
OVERLOAD or LOW BATTERY CHARGE (optional shunt required). Use a pump
to fill a header tank once a week, control security lighting or start
a generator, you imagination is the limit.
User Inputs
Two user inputs have many applications including generator warnings
or security indicators on a battery room door.
Simplicity
Whilst Selectronic's SA Series inverters are very sophisticated, they
do not require complex programming. Most systems will work perfectly
well with the factory settings, or alternatively your supplier can programme
your inverter before despatch.
