I have an EG4 6000XP in my rv running off solar, battery, grid/generator. When I say grid/generator I mean I left the original transfer switch in place so when the ac is sent to 6000 xp it could be from the actual grid or my onan 7500qd. Each are identical in that they are 2 legs 120v. I have downloaded and applied the latest firmware updates. I am getting 120 on both legs coming into the load switch on the 6000xp.
The 6000xp requires that you set times, ac start battery voltage, etc.. and in most cases that should work fine, but there are instances where I need to test my grid/generator and I can turn off my solar but I don't want to discharge my battery bank to get the system to run on grid. There are also real world needs where you have a cloudy day and solar is not providing enough energy and I want to run my generator to run my a/c during the day and run the a/c at night off battery. They have new settings for generator assist but that appears overkill for what I'm needing to do and I don't know if that would work either without forcing discharge of the battery
The bypass mode and AC charge mode seem to be based on discharge of battery before using the grid as I have tried both mode settings with no luck. It seems you have to trick the system to run on grid. I know other All-in-ones allow easy and simple change of energy input but appears to me EG4 over did it. I have also tried turning off my batteries but the 6000xp doesn't like that and I still had no luck.Has anybody else found an easy way to get the 6000xp to run on the grid? Thanks for any thought or ideas.
