Generator doesn't start on automatic start if battery voltage drops - Venus functionality

I've set in Venus OS automatic start if voltage drops below certain value and it doesn't start even if voltage drops 1V below set parametr. Fortunately it can be triggered on inverter output power set, I assume the automatic start / stóp function works but not with voltage parametr.

Please advise FW version that you are running on the venus it should be 2.31 ???

if its not then please retest.

I am not aware of a problem in this area as I also use voltage to start and stop my Generator via the Venus relay and this is working correctly for me. I am using Fw 2.31

Check your delay start setting

My Venus runs on 2.31. Reset didn't help neither.


During these settings battery voltage was below 12.5V for a whole night.

You dont seem to have any battery monitor selected so how can it read a voltage ???

OR

You have do not run generator when ac1 is in use.


so the generator will not start if there is any AC on the AC1 in

even if its turned off by the inverter due to bad feed in or some other power issue or ignore AC1 in.


So have a look in those areas and see if thats of help
