System operation
1.Battery Charge:
The system will automatically charge the battery from solar panel or line. The charge algorithm is programmed
for the ordered battery chemistry. For Lead Acid, it consists of BULK, ABSORB and FLOAT charge plus
automatic monthly Equalization.
2. LVD Battery Protection:
The unit will privide warning and timeout if the voltage drops below 1.7V per Cell. After Timeout shuts the motor
OFF. It then re-connects the motor once the battery is charged back to above 2V per cell.
3.Energy Lock:
The system can lock the motor to not use more energy than solar production. This is done by turning the
LOCK switch ON. The two bar graphs show the solar production and motor consumption.
4.Metering:
Key electrical parameters (Solar Panel Voltage, Battery Voltage, Charge Current and load Current) and
estimated time left on battery is displayed on the numeric display.
5.Charge Restart:
When Charge is complete, a load current of 5A or higher, or when battery drops below 48V, causes the
charge cycle automatically restart.
