Documentation for VFX3648

Is there any documentation for the Outback VFX3648 which gives a comprehensive explanation of its features, other than the programming manual. Or perhaps there are some tech notes on it? I'm looking for detailed information about how the AC Input bypass through and transfer switch works in conjunction with the charger load and the output AC loads, as well as information on whether there is any type of Time-of-Use feature for the charger. I've looked at the programming manual but it focuses on a step by step method to program as opposed to explaining applications of the features.

    This manual might be more helpful for you: http://www.outbackpower.com/pdf/manuals/fx_vfx_installation.pdf
    It's the installation info and contains descriptions of functions.

    In the short form, when you're running off AC in there is a maximum current limit (programmable) which is divided up between the charge current limit (programmable) and the loads. If the loads go higher it will lower the current to the charger. There is no time-of-use function.

    Unless they've changed them on me. Things are always subject to change without notice, and I'm usually the last one to find out. :p

    Joeedens,

    You can continue in this thread too... It helps people follow your Q&A as you progress...

    New threads are helpful for completely unrelated sets of questions.
