The following menu items appear in the sequence they appear 
on the RC/GS and RC7. See “RC/GS and RC7 Setup Menu 
Summary” on page 23 for the complete menu structure.

Set Idle enables or disables the power-saving “search sense” 
mode feature. Refer to the RV Series Inverter/Charger 
Owner’s Manual for a complete description of the search 
sense mode.

To configure Set Idle, use the Settings button to scroll to the 
desired setting. The default setting is Defeat.

Selecting Defeat disables the search sense function. The 
remaining selections specify the minimum wattage load that 
must be present on the inverter to qualify as a load and bring 
the inverter out of the search sense mode and begin inverting. 
After selecting, press the down arrow to access the next 
menu.

Battery Capacity refers to the battery’s reserve capacity in 
amp-hours. The RC/GS and RC7 approximate the battery 
state-of-charge (SOC), then estimate the battery capacity 
(Auto) over several charge/discharge cycles. However, 
setting the capacity manually assures a more accurate initial 
SOC calculation. The default setting is Auto.

The Battery Capacity setting also sets the absorption charge 
time where the batteries are charged at the bulk voltage.
