Configuring the RC/GS and RC7
The following menu items appear in the sequence they appear
on the RC/GS and RC7. See “RC/GS and RC7 Setup Menu
Summary” on page 23 for the complete menu structure.
Set Idle
Set Idle enables or disables the power-saving “search sense”
mode feature. Refer to the RV Series Inverter/Charger
Owner’s Manual for a complete description of the search
sense mode.
To configure Set Idle, use the Settings button to scroll to the
desired setting. The default setting is Defeat.
Selecting Defeat disables the search sense function. The
remaining selections specify the minimum wattage load that
must be present on the inverter to qualify as a load and bring
the inverter out of the search sense mode and begin inverting.
After selecting, press the down arrow to access the next
menu.
Battery Capacity
Battery Capacity refers to the battery’s reserve capacity in
amp-hours. The RC/GS and RC7 approximate the battery
state-of-charge (SOC), then estimate the battery capacity
(Auto) over several charge/discharge cycles. However,
setting the capacity manually assures a more accurate initial
SOC calculation. The default setting is Auto.
The Battery Capacity setting also sets the absorption charge
time where the batteries are charged at the bulk voltage.
