    SunPump SDS-D-128 and SunPumps PCA-30M1D SDS Pump Controller

    I have this SunPump I would like to move along. I bought it for $1,130 from Toboa Energy. It is brand new, unused and I just opened the boxes to take these pictures. I'm asking $900 with free shipping or make me an offer (OBO). Backstory is that I bought it thinking I'd set it up down at my...

    Battery Bank Hard Stuck

    Thanks for sticking with it and talking me further through the process. Wouldn't have gotten there without your aid and I am very appreciative!

    Battery Bank Hard Stuck

    I turned off Weak AC Input and limited the charge current to 60A from 70A. And I am now drawing 1900W from the generator. The generator was running at a steady hum when Weak AC Input was selected. Now it varies in it's behavior (sound-wise). Haha, yeah, I was curious about the 112V too.

    Yeah, I went ahead and followed @MisterSandals recommendation. No noticeable difference. It does seem like the software overrides the switches.

    AC INPUT voltage at inverter terminals are a steady 112.1V. The Hz measure at a steady 60.5Hz. Limited AC input to 15A and the only noticeable difference I saw was that it was charging at around 1250W, as opposed to the 1310W it was power at when the AC input was set to 29A. When I disable...

    Hah, right on, glad to hear! Do you have Grid tie-in on your system?

    This was stated in the section with the DIP switch information: Note: when WeakAC is on, the maximum charge current is reduced from 100% to approximately 80%. Both DIP switches were off manually and I switched them on. No noticeable difference in incoming current. So the max I could get is 80%...

    4. Oh my, well glad you got that figured out. 5. It said 68% for state of charge, so I will be needing to recalibrate that. 1. 2. Victron Lugs =26.6V 3. Battery Lugs = 26.5V 4. Battery Monitor = 26.56V

    1. Generator mode 120 to port 1 (29A receptacle). 2. AC input limit 27A. 3. DC charge current 70A. Which to my understanding is the most my Multiplus can deliver? 4. They were both disabled by default. 5. Started generator today with battery bank at 24.1V. The charging current is sitting at...

    Thanks for the learning lesson @sunshine_eggo, it is all starting to make sense now. I went ahead and configured it accordingly, based off of your instructions/explanation. Cheers!

    You can see that the plus sign is greyed out. When typing in 70.0A and saving, it shows no change from 50.0A on the general tab. This is regardless of whether "overruled by remote" is selected or not.

    Hi sunshine_eggo, I got my MK3-USB and accessed the settings, but under the general tab it won't let me increase the incoming AMPs above 50A. I disabled "Current limit overruled by remote" and still no luck. Cheers, FB

    Off grid internet

    I live off-grid in a hard to get to place. I was able to find a very small company that provides internet service. They hooked me up with a dish that points and shoots at a tower (LTE) across the border into Canada. Then a cat5 cable runs from the dish to an adapter that plugs in to AC power and...

    Using 2/0 welding wire from batteries. Can't recall on generator wiring, but it is either 12 or 10 gauge. Next time I throw on the generator (likely tomorrow), I'll check out the voltages. Wiring snug and secure... I was an apprentice electrician for awhile and did a lot of main service panel...
