Trace 5548 generator settings
I use two Trace 5548 in parallel and am now trying to add a 120v generator backup.
I can successfully manually start the generator. AC2 In Good will blink for ~ 10 seconds and then go unto bulk charging. All is good.
I can successfully use the Gen Menu on the "master" inverter to turn "On" and "Off" the 2-wire generator. AC2 will blink for ~ 10 seconds. Gen starts. Then it blinks for ~40 seconds and goes into bulk charging. All is good.
But when the Gen Menu is in Auto mode, and I raise my LBCO above my current battery level, here is what happens:
- AC2 blinks for ~ 10 seconds
- Gen starts
- AC2 blinks for ~ 40 seconds and turns off Gen. I would have thought it would go into bulk charging.
- About 30 seconds later, the cycle repeats this loop until I manually put the Gen Menu in Off mode.
Any idea why the Auto Gen mode will not go into bulk charging mode?
Thanks.
