5 OPERATION
5.1 General
By means of the Masterlink MICC you can
switch on and off your inverter and charger
remote controlled and read the exact state-of-
charge of your battery.
The (dis)charge current is measured by means
of a shunt, and on demand made visible on the
display. From the starting point of fully charged
batteries, the Masterlink MICC calculates the
actual battery capacities. For this calculation the
measured (dis)charge currents are used as well
as assumptions about their effect on battery
capacity. The accuracy of the results of this
calculation depends on the correctness of these
assumptions. These assumptions are partly set
up by the user (possibly after a test) and partly
set up by the Masterlink MICC itself after a
number of charge/discharge cycles.
The operation of the Masterlink MICC can be
separated into three major parts: remote control
of the battery charger, remote control of the
inverter and retrieving information you’re your
batteries. (see figure 6)
5.2 Remote control of the battery charger
By pressing the “Charger”-
switch the battery charger can
be switched on/off. After a few
seconds the “Charger”-LED illuminates when
the charger is in operation (230V supply). The
“AC-present”-LED illuminates as well.
WARNING
Above operation is not applicable for
the chargers IVO Smart 12/25, 12/35,
12/40, 12/50 and 24/15, IVO Compact
12/25 and 24/10 and MASS 12/30,
24/15 and 24/25. When the charger is
switched off by means of the Masterlink
MICC (the Charger-LED is not
illuminated), the maximum output
current is reduced to 10%. To switch off
the battery charger completely, the
“ON-OFF”-switch of the battery charger
must be set to the “OFF”-position.
The meaning of the illuminating LEDs is
explained beneath. Refer to the charger’s users
manual for additional information about the
