    Axpert Max ii 8kw: use grid as generator and control with program 12 and 13

    I have taken a couple of days to roam the net and see if any other solution would pop up somewhere, but so far... nothing. What I will do to "sort of" make it work is go low tech and just add a timer to the grid relay. In that case I can limit the time for the grid to fill in the missing power...

    Axpert Max ii 8kw: use grid as generator and control with program 12 and 13

    Hi Frank, I now get to understand you better. These are indeed brand names or/and open source applications. We have the same sort of systems here, but other brands and software. Problem is that the house here already runs on an automated system (Basically Eaton). It is quite dated (2007) and I...

    Axpert Max ii 8kw: use grid as generator and control with program 12 and 13

    Hi Frank, You are a lucky man. Unfortunately The Max ii instructions do not offer the option for SOC! If they had, my problem would be solved. I only have the top option of program 12 & 13 and not the bottom bit that offers SOC %. I have little time now and will read the rest of your feedback...

    Axpert Max ii 8kw: use grid as generator and control with program 12 and 13

    Hello frank, pleased to make your acquaintance. And again thank you for your answer. All this has been done. And program 5 has been set to PYL. After reading your info I am left with a bundle of questions... Now, I assume that I have established this communication because all the cables you...

    Axpert Max ii 8kw: use grid as generator and control with program 12 and 13

    Whauw, thank you very much fmeili1. Such an elaborate answer! First of all: the missing energy. Turns out that the 2Amps refers to battery side and so we are talking 98W (@48v) and not 460W (@230V) of power. So that solved that. Then About triggering Programm 12 & 13: You clearly understand...

    Axpert Max ii 8kw: use grid as generator and control with program 12 and 13

    I am looking to configure an Axpert max ii 8kW in a way that it will not take its own power from the grid. The house if often empty for months, and therefor there is hardly any need for power during this time. But if the Axpert takes it's own power from the grid (which it DOES @70W), then my...

    Cannot control SOC based on voltage

    I think that I am looking for a similar solution with an Axpert max ii 8kW. I would like to be able to use the grid like a generator, only to top up the batteries if they threaten to run empty. Typically there is some risk for that in the morning. So IF the battery goes under let's say 15%...

    Axpert max II 8kW, clock running slow

    Hi everybody. I had an Axpert max II 8kW installed lately of which the clock runs slow (about 5 mins per 24 hours). Service sent me the official firmware updates (81.07 and 22.20), but to no avail. I read that other people suffer the same problem. Has anybody been able to fix it? Thanks...
