AUTOMATIC PARALLELING OF BATTERIES
The MPVSR can be programmed to connect two batteries or banks
together in parallel if the voltage of the primary battery gets to a pre-
determined voltage. For example, if the starting battery on a boat was
going at, the MPVSR could automatically connect it to the secondary or
house batteries to enable it to start the motor.
CAUTION: This functionality must be thought through carefully. If your
starting battery is going at, and you automatically connect your house
batteries to it, and it continues to go at without you knowing, you will be
stuck with two at battery banks! It is highly recommended to use an alarm
when using this function, so you know when the batteries are in parallel.
Setting Guide: (note, this setup requires the MPVSR bet programmed
‘normally closed’)
UPPER LIMIT IN VOLTS: This is the setting where the batteries will be
disconnected from each other after the primary battery reaches a sufcient
charge voltage.
LOWER LIMIT IN VOLTS: This is the setting that determines when the
batteries will be connected in parallel. This should be set at the point
where the starting battery might no longer be able to start the motor, and
would require assistance from another battery bank.
UPPER DELAY IN SECS: This is the delay, in seconds, before the
batteries are disconnected after the starting battery reaches a sufcient
voltage level.
LOWER DELAY IN SECS: This is the delay, in seconds, before the
batteries are connected into parallel. This should be around the 10 second
mark to accommodate for the voltage sag of the battery under a starting
load.
