18.13. Performing an equalization charge of the batteries
For lead-acid batteries with liquid electrolyte the manufacturer recommends performing a periodic equalization
charge.
During the equalization charge the inverter equalizes the state of charge of the cells and compensates the
electrolyte stratification. This prevents a premature failure of the individual cells and extends the service life of the
battery. This process produces gasification, so a proper ventilation of the batteries is necessary.
Before performing a manual equalization charge, consult the battery manufacturer for the charge voltage and
duration.
CAUTION
An incorrect configuration of these settings can reduce the battery life. Ingeteam accepts no liability for the
consequences that may arise from incorrect configuration of the unit by the user and/or the installer.
To configure the unit's parameters, go to Configuration > Advanced Settings > Lead-Acid Battery Settings.
Setting
Equalization Voltage
Equalization charge voltage of the battery bank, specified by the battery manufacturer
(V).
Duration of Equalization
Duration of the equalization charge of the battery bank, specified by the battery
charge
manufacturer (minutes).
The equalization charge must be manually activated via the display. To do this, go to Configuration > Commands >
Start Equalization Charge.
The equalization charging process will finalize automatically once the set time has passed. If you wish to abort the
process before the set time, stop it manually by going to Configuration > Commands > Stop Equalization Charge.
18.14. Performing a ventilation test
Occasionally it is necessary to test the proper performance of the unit's external and internal fans. These units have
the option of performing a ventilation test.
To run the ventilation test, go to Maintenance > Fan Test. The unit's fans will start to turn for approximately
15 seconds. After this time, the test will automatically deactivate. If one or several of the fans do not turn, the
result will display in the test:
•
Code1 0x0008 "fault in internal fan".
•
Code1 0x0010 "fault in external fan".
If all ventilators turn, the test's result is positive.
ABH2014IQM01_A - Installation and Operation Manual
The inverter detects the PV array and automatically starts charging the batteries. The inverter
status will indicate Emergency Charge from PV.
The installation will be restored when the batteries reach the configured SOCrecx state of
charge (see
"18.7.3. Configuring the operation mode and its
The inverter detects the voltage and frequency in the AC grid input and connects to it
automatically. The inverter status will indicate Emergency Charge from Grid.
The installation is restored immediately and starts charging the batteries from the AC grid
input.
