THE SOLAR PANEL
BULK PHASE
Charging with maximum available solar
charging current until the charging end voltage
is reached.
ABSORPTION PHASE
The charging current is kept for a period of 2
hours. At the end of this period, it changes to
the float phase.
FLOAT PHASE
The charging voltage is set to 13.8v. The
charging current drops to the value necessary
to compensate the self-consumption of
the battery. Power is still supplied to the
consumers. If the consumed current exceeds
the available solar charging current, the
charging process can no longer be maintained.
If the battery voltage drops below 13.3v, the
device automatically switches to the bulk
phase if there is adequate solar charging
current.
EQUALISATION CHARGING PHASE (ONLY FOR
AGM AND LIQUID ELECTROLYTE BATTERY TYPE)
The equalisation charging phase serves to
compensate the cell voltages and can reduce
any sulphation. If the voltage of the battery
drops below 11.1v, it is assumed that the battery
has deep-discharged. The device is switched to
the equalisation charging phase for 2 hours. At
the end of this period, it changes automatically
to the float phase.
Deep-discharged batteries can be permanently
damaged. Equalisation charging cannot repair
this. Use a Truma battery monitor to prevent
deep-discharging.
PARALLEL MODE
If load current is consumed while the battery is
being charged, it is served from the available
solar charging current. If the consumed
current exceeds the available solar charging
current, the device cannot charge the battery.
The device starts charging automatically once
an adequate amount of solar charging current
is available again.
SETTINGS
The display H6 shows different system
settings. Press the key (T) to switch between
LED H3, H4, H5 and H6. If the key is pressed
again, the system starts at LED H3 again.
BATTERY TYPE
The battery type can only be set for battery 1;
battery 2 is assumed to be the same battery
type.
QUERY
• Press (T) until LED H3 illuminates; the saved
value is shown in display H6.
DISPLAY H6 BATTERY TYPE
1 Gel (pre-setting)
2 AGM
3 Liquid (liquid electrolyte)
Change
• Press key (T) for 5 seconds until the display
H6 flashes.
• Press the key (T) to set the required value.
• If the key is not pressed for 5 seconds, the
displayed value will be saved and flashing
stops.
CHARGING CURRENT DISTRIBUTION
The charging current distribution between
battery 1 and battery 2 can be set. The
following distributions can be selected.
Query
• Press (T) until LED H4 illuminates; the
saved value is shown in display H6.
BATTERY 1 BATTERY 2
0 0% 100%
1 10% 90%
2 20% 80%
3 30% 70%
4 40% 60%
5 50% (pre-setting) 50%
6 60% 40%
7 70% 30%
8 80% 20%
9 90% 10%
Change
• Press key (T) for 5 seconds until the display
H6 flashes.
• Press the key (T) to set the required value.
• If the key is not pressed for 5 seconds, the
displayed value will be saved and flashing
stops.
