Hi Mark, The point of operation can be adjusted above normal battery operating levels, which essentially disables the feature.

The following app-note describes this operation.

The "FSC" is propriatary to SMA, Sunny Island to Sunny Boy. Pretty much anything else you need something to sense the voltage of the battery bank so you can open a contactor on the AC line to the Fronius when the battery voltage gets too high. Once the voltage drops the contactor can close and bring the Fronius back on line and then the 5-minute start up delay before it is feeding the line again.
