@Alexandra i got them like this:
do you have any recomendations? im useing 2x 12v 230Ah AGM batteries.
And your sustain voltage? Is is above the c ratings you have set there.
These settings will affect the longer duration alarms, but i do also see you have shorter alarms for maybe when your system is under load.
it is possible your battery bank is not able to provide the amps needed before the voltage is collapsing to low, the other possibility is your cable is undersized? These are the othwr two most common causes.
Under the advanced tab you can download the csv data for the alarm period and the excel sheet will show what the voltage is dropping to in the system. The color control also shows the voltage of the bank at the time of alarm.
See section 6.4 Sustain mode.
Your sustain voltage is higher than your discharge voltage for 0.005c so at about 1.15A it is triggering the low battery warning and trying to sustain the higher voltage.
You can lower the sustain a bit maybe down to 23v on the top one. That way on your .25c draw at least, your low battery is not triggered. (About 57A draw from the bank so on a 24v system about 1200W load)
@Alexandra its still showing the alarm.
Are they occurring less often or the same?
Are you able to see in the advanced tab what your battery is actually doing during these alarms? Basically what may be happening (and i am guessing as i do not have all the data from your system) is the battery voltage is sagging under load - maybe they are weak? or cabling is undersized?
I assume you have a 24v 3 kva system?
Also on the vrm under setting and then select allarm rules in there is allarm settings that can also be configured
I am getting "VE.Bus System [276] - Low battery: Alarm" every few days since a few weeks. Before that the system was running fine. No setting changed. Strange
