Setting Diversion Control Mode
When the C-Series controller is configured for Diversion Control mode, you
can set the voltage at which the unit begins diverting current (high voltage
diversion). The unit will continue diverting excess current to the diversion load
until the source voltage falls to the Bulk setting. After two hours at the Bulk
setting, the unit will reduce the battery charging voltage to the Float voltage
setting. This will usually result in more current being diverted to the diversion
load.
The flashing rate of the LED indicates the battery state of charge. Solid
green indicates the battery is fully charged (float mode). Five flashes indicates
the battery is in Bulk mode. As the flashing rate decreases, the battery is
discharged to a lower voltage level (i.e., somewhere below the Bulk voltage
setting). Table 7 indicates the approximate level the battery is below the Bulk
voltage setting.
As an example, if the system battery voltage is 24 volts and the internal
Bulk voltage setting is set for 26 volts, you can calculate approximately how much
below the Bulk setting the batteries are by subtracting the number in Table7
from 26 (the internal Bulk setting). With the LED indicating two blinks, the
battery voltage is approximately 24.5 volts (26 volts Bulk setting minus
1.50volts in the table). With the LED indicating one blink, the battery voltage
is
somewhere below the 24.5 volts, indicating the battery may be seriously
damaged.
NOTE: The LED will light green only in Diversion and Charge Control mode
(unless it is reinstalled backwards).
