8.2 AUTO START ON BATTERY VOLTAGE
The WPC is capable to request a start when the battery voltage drops below a certain value. See
table for default settings. To prevent this function from acting very rapidly, a delay can be set. This
delay can be set from 0 to 60 minutes, default is 1 minute.
For the starting mode three voltage levels can be set, refer to the parameter list for the numbers.
Using multiple voltage levels allows you to make a difference between a voltage level which must
be present for a long time before the generator starts (slow discharge), or a lower level at which
starting occurs directly (heavy discharge).
For the stopping threshold, only one level is available, refer to the parameter list for the numbers.
It is also possible to stop the generator when is the battery state has reached float; this is a state to
top off the battery charge and take only low current. When the generator power is only used for
charging, this is inefficient. Note that if AC input is present (not because of autostart), then the float
cycle will be completed.
