I have had a Trace Engineering SW5548 installed at our off grid cabin and running continuously since first installed in 2004 so 18 years, no complaints about that.
However this morning I find no power on and when I investigate the inverter has shut down when I reset she runs momentarily and then shuts down again. What I am able to find out is the unit is monitoring the batteries at 10+ volts higher then actual. Meaning I get 51vdc with my Fluke meter but the inverter is showing 67-70vdc.
This is out of the blue, I have never had any issues with this unit before now, so I am thinking it might be a simple fix.
Couple of questions do these units have an internal battery for the circuit boards to hold the programming?
Is there a trim adjustment for this voltage valve?
Is there a electrical schematic anywhere to be found?
This thing is a tank (heavy!) so if I need to remove it to service, I would like to have a plan so l’m not moving it more then I have to.
Thanks in advance for any help.
