Hi, can anybody advise if it’s possible to reduce my generator draw through the Vrm when charging the batteries ? At the moment it’s running at its max 7kwh, I’d like to reduce to 5kwh so the generator is not maxing out all the time. Also, I don’t want to reduce any solar input by doing this if possible ?
I’ve been through the menus, but can’t see anything
You need to limit your current input on the ACin for the generator. About 22A would be approx. 5KVA @230V (22 x 230 = 5060).
Assuming override by remote is on.
On the VRM dashboard, top right is a switch icon. Click on that, gives you the option to set input AC current.
These won't directly affect solar input, but if it does, use @JohnC 's method of slightly reducing the multiplus absorption voltage.
Hello Jason, This is how I control the INPUT from the generator . On the touch 50 swipe to the next screen, keep on swiping till you see at the bottom part the screen AC Current Limit beside this is AC Mode ON. I think you should have 60 amps at the bottom of the AC current limit. I think it is the default input. Click on the amps from there you should have a small control block with + / - . So from here change the input. There is another way to do it. I find this is the best way to make changes. Good luck.
Found the switch, doesn’t work in an iPhone but does on an iPad, thanks guys
