I have a samlex evo 4024 that has been functioning incredibly well. The hardware has been rock solid. I live off grid in Northern Manitoba through 5 to 7 months of winter and have really enjoyed not having to think about what Im turning on and when.
Trouble is… it does not appear to have auto restart function.
I left the offgrid house for a couple months to go work further north and then a small trip south to visit wife and family etc… during that time the panels got covered in snow and the system shut down. I have a small vertically mounted 12 volt panel with a 12 volt sun save controller connected to one battery in the 24 volt bank to keep enough power going through to “jump start” the outback flexmax 80 when the panels are cleared off, this functioned as expected. Sadly, this most recent occurrence of snow covering lasted so long the samlex low voltage disconnect shutdown powered off the inverter. Upon my return late last week I found the panels cleared, the battery bank fully recharged and the samlex powered off.
Is there a setting that I need to adjust for the inverter to auto power back on without it having to see power on the grid or generator inputs ?
Thank you
