[RE-wrenches] Two Dilemmas

Thu Jul 23 19:34:32 EDT 2020

Your missing the small writing on the black display bezel on the inverter….. “Hal 9000", “sorry Rick I can’t allow you to do that”. 
Your batteries, Have you removed or would like to know how to remove individual cells or are you trying to move the whole tray? If you want to call my cell # Ill be more then happy to offer my suggestions. I always try to use the larger cells so I have moved quite a few, and replaced quite a few cells too.
OR are you looking to find other options. 
The old SW 5548 was it working before you got there? depending on the year had a "grid inter tie box” . Are you expecting to see it sell after turning the unit on? Shorten up the Absorb time to 0, lower the sell voltage to below what the batteries are reading then see if it connects. remember it too has a grid lock out time if the “grid internee box is installed. 300secs i believe.
The sell mode was not to smooth w/ the “grid box” it would fluctuate from 1amp  to what the highest sell current setting, back n forth.

After reprogramming the CCs and inverter with new charging parameters, I can’t get the Trace to export excess production once the batteries are charged. I do have the inverter set to “Sell” mode What am I missing? I have had little experience with the Trace line.
