Looking to use an Elite 200V2 as UPS for sump pump (grid power only)
Configuration = wall AC to Elite 200V to pump (1/3hp)
Ac = On
Working Mode = Standard UPS
Should Advanced sleep settings by on and what should they be?
Goal is to have pump run for as long as possible on Elite 200V if power is out with the quickest recovery once power is back on. (without damaging the Elite 200V)
Whole process needs to be automatic.
Also where is documentation for the Advanced Settings please? PDFs on site don’t include all of them.
The available variations to the UPS mode, relate to timer options relative to minimising Grid usage.
As purely an UPS mode backup Standard UPS is fine.
I use an AC70 as UPS for my WiFi Router, internet and Security camera hub. It’s in pass through mode i.e. connected to the grid permanently via a wall socket, with a power board providing power to the devices from the AC outlet of the AC70. Therefore it is at 100% all the time and will only deplete during a grid outage. The load is only <25W, so I get around 24 hours of constant use.
If your sump pump is demand driven, it only needs power when operating. You need it’s wattage or Amps to calculate them to then find operating time from the E200.
I’m not sure how to set this up, but I believe you can set the charge limit to 80% when on power, but that reduces duration when off grid. (Not available on the AC70)
I’m happy to leave the AC70 at 100% all the time. I believe that periodically, the charge cycle kicks in to check battery status. It’s been in operation for around 12 months with no issues in this way. The worst that can really happen is a slight reduction in battery life.
What I have also done is, every 2 months or so, I turn the wall socket off (we have switched sockets in AU), Let the AC70 discharge to around 5% SOC, then turn the grid back on. This way it gets the occasional almost complete cycle.
Hello, please describe your problem according to the following template, and then tell us the SN code and firmware version number so that our technicians can help you solve the problem. For example:
the custom UPS mode is set, and the desired effect is as follows:
00:00~10:00: No charging (power supply from portable power supply to load)
10:00~16:00: Charging (after charging to 100%, power supply from external AC100V input to load, i.e. bypass)
16:00~23:59: No charging (power supply from portable power supply to load)
The current symptoms of AORA100V2 are as follows:
(1) It is set to start at 10:00, but charging starts around 9:00 and continues until the battery power reaches 100%. (No load is taken during this period.)
(2) Load starts around 13:00, initially with bypass and battery combined (picture at 13:05). After a while, the battery power drops to 76% (pictures at 13:39 and 13:40) I hope it will remain at 100% here.
(3) When the operation mode is changed to the standard UPS mode in the state of (2), the external AC100V power is used. In addition, after 16:00, only the battery power is used when the load is applied. (Correct operation
Thanks for joining the conversation. I don’t have a ‘problem’ per say. I am trying to understand the Advanced Settings. Where is there documentation?
