220a Battery protect only worked once

I installed the BP with program 8a.

It worked once only shutting off at 12v and restarting at 13v but now let's the batteries go below 12v without cutting off.

Do I need to reset every time it activates?

The BP is not designed for reverse current and you should not connect an inverter directly to it, that can damage the BP.
See manual:
