I have a Tracer AN 6420 and have it generally working the way I want but am unable to control the generator control relay and am interested in advice from anyone who has done so successfully.
The Epever documentation is piss poor so some basic questions for anyone who has figured this out:
1/ For a relay that turns on (switch that closes) while the battery voltage increases above the Under Voltage Warning Recovery Voltage, should that be the ‘Utility Generator Relay OFF’ relay or the ‘Utility Generator Relay ON’ relay? This is the ‘Generator Stop’ condition and I have assumed that turning off the generator by closing the OFF relay is correct, but would appreciate confirmation from anyone who is successfully using these Epever Generator Control relays.
2/ The software includes a checkbox for ‘Oilengine Controlsignal’ which defaults to ‘Disable’ - does this setting need to be set to ‘Enable’ for the generator control relays to function?
3/ When I make changes to the Load Relay Timing Control parameters, the impact is immediate - I can turn on and off by changing the turnon and turnoff times. But when changing Vlvdv and Vlvrv, I don’t see any immediate impact from those changes - is there a delay before changes to relay control voltage parameters takes effect?
I recall another thread where an owner was claiming changes to voltage parameters were not effective until the next day so I’m wondering whether that may be one of the factors contributing to my confusion.
I’ve got the Load Control Relay performing as I’d like (even if I can’t immediately change behavior through modified settings), but so far am unable to get any functionality out of the generator control relays.
Any assistance / advice appreciated.
