History

This Document is used to give a explanation of settings in the website and APP to Lux Power customers for Hybrid Inverter LXP-US 12K. The monitor system may change anytime, so if you find the settings described below is different from what you see, you can contact info@luxpowertek.com for help.

Common Setting

• Time : Local time of the inverter, the input format is 2019-02-14 14:44:00. Format yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
• Modbus Addr : Communication COM address in 485 communication system. If you installed more than one inverter in the field and use a 485 bus to communicate, you need to set the inverters to different address. The range is from 0 to 150
• PV Input Mode : The connection way of solar module When you need to change the settings in “Model” set group , you need to set inverter to “Standby” first , and then press “set battery” to change the model.
• Battery Type, Lead-acid Capacity, Lithium Brand : Choose the battery type and then battery brand for Lithium battery or battery capacity for lead-acid. Please note after set the battery, all other settings will be set to default.
• Neutral Detect Enable Detect if the customer has connect the neutral line in AC terminal.
• Measurement, Meter Type, CT Sample Ratio Choose the correct measurement ,meter type or CT sample Ratio according to the external measuring device you installed. The default measurement is CT with sample ratio :1000/1, and you can change the measurement if you have installed a meter to the inverter.
• Restart Inverter : Restart inverter remotely

Application Setting

• Grid Frequency (Hz) : If the grid frequency is nominal 50Hz , then the EPS Frequency will be adjusted to 50Hz automatically ; If there is no grid power , and it is read as 50Hz ,but the devices are 60Hz,then you can set to 60Hz manually. This is based on the rated frequency of the local grid regulation and devices.

• Power Backup : If Power backup function is Enabled, the EPS/UPS terminal will keep output when AC interrupted. You can set” Power backup” by web or “Off-grid output” by LCD. (Enable this mode, EPS output will be uninterrupted)

• Seamless EPS Switch: When power interrupted, the inverter will turn to EPS mode seamlessly. But if there is grid voltage fluctuation issue ,we suggest you disable it to avoid misjudgment.

• Micro-Grid : If the inverter is connected to AC generator with the AC terminals, we need to set Micro-Grid Enable. In this situation, the system will not feed into generator and whenever there is output of generator. The inverter will use the generator power to charge the battery. The frequency range will also be enlarged to compatible with the generator.

• PV Grid Off : If the customer want the system have off-gird function without install any battery, please enable PV Grid Off. Please note in this situation, the off-grid energy is supplied by solar, it is not stable. We suggest the customer to install battery to keep the EPS/UPS output voltage stable if they want to have off-grid function.(Allow to access the off grid mode when only solar input is available)

• Grid sell back : In some countries, the customer can not feed energy into grid, or if the customer do not want to feed energy to grid, you can disable Grid sell back function.
  

• Grid Sell back Power (kW): If Grid sell back function is enabled, you can set the power limitation to feed into grid.

• Fast Zero Export: Normally inverter will adjust output power every 5 seconds to avoid export, if fast zero export enabled, the inverter will adjust output power fast.

• Normal/Standby: “Standby” is used to set the whole system to standby mode, stop feed in and charge, discharge;“ Normal” is used to set the whole system to auto run status.

• Max. AC Input Power: If the inverter can adjust the charge power based on the detected EPS load consumption and Max.AC input power limitation .

• Paralleling Setting Group

  • Set Subordinates or Primary : LXP inverters support paralleling functions, you can connect the EPS terminal together in paralleling system, in this situation, we need to set one of the inverter to primary, and the others are slave. If you install all inverters in one phase, set one of the inverter to “1Phase Primary”; If you want to compose three phase system, set one of the inverter to “3 Phase Primary”. All inverters are set to Subordinates in default mode, so when you get the inverters, just need to set one inverter to Primary.(Used for paralleling inverters)

  • Set Composed Phase: When you use equal or more than 3 inverters to compose a three phase system, you connect the AC terminals of inverter to three phase grid. (Used when compose a three phase).
    

  • If there is utility in the filed, the inverter will detect the phase it connects to automatically and record it. Next time it will output the phase as it detected.

  • If the user setting is different from the phase inverter detected, it will output the phase it detected.

  • The output phase record will be cleared if customer clears it.
    

  • If there is no utility for the whole time, it will use the user output phase setting to compose three phase output. If the customer set wrong phase, for example 2 R phase and no T phase, the system will report error.

• Battery Shared: For paralleling system, if all inverters connect to same battery, then we need to enable battery shared and then master inverter will broadcast the battery info to other inverters.

Grid Connect Setting

• Smart load : If there isn’t generator installation at the GEN Input port and a smart load to work is required , you can connect the load to GEN port and also you can configure the smart load settings under discharge menu.
• RSD : This function is only available for US model , and it is the rapid shut-down detection of the PV inputs.
• Battery Capacity (Ah) : Installed Lead-acid battery capacity .

• CT power offset : The CT has sampling error around 100W, and sometimes the inverter said it is 0W in monitoring page , but the meter at the grid side shows import or export , then you can adjust the CT offset , if you input 50 , that means inverter will export more 50W to compensate the load consumption , and if you input -50 , that means inverter will reduce 50W of export power to compensate the load consumption.

• Charge First(PV) Setting Group :For LXP hybrid inverter, in default mode, when PV power is sufficient to cover the demands of home loads, then PV power will firstly consumed by home loads, if there is excessive PV power then the excessive power will be used to charge the battery, if there is still PV power rested after load consuming and battery charging, then the rested PV power will be feed-in to the grid. In some situation, the customers want the solar power to charge battery first, and if there is more energy, it take the load in house.
  So we can enable charge first function. Charge first power CMD is the max power percent when charge battery in charge first mode. If the time is in the period user set and the battery SOC is less than the limit, the solar power will used to charge battery first.
