Notes on Different Programming Possibilities
Please observe the data specified by the battery manufacturer when programming the controller. Change over to gel battery
when using a battery with specific electrolytes (gel or fleece battery [also known as AGM or VRLA batteries]). To protect the
gel battery the end-of-charge voltage cannot be increased to 15V in the gel battery setting.
Various functions of the controller are interlocked against each other, e.g. the load cannot be switched on and off manually
if the timer functions (permanent night light, evening or morning light) are switched on.
The timer function is based on learning the brightness curve, therefore it must be noted that the charge controller needs
approximately 2 days to learn the time from sunrise to sunset and during this time the load is switched on all night.
Since the charge controller learns the time from the brightness curve there may be deviations from the actual time; the
deviation depends on the position of the set-up location to the middle of the time zone. The change-over from winter to
summer must be performed manually, i.e. if you live in a country with summer time changes, you will have to set the times
back one hour in Spring, i.e. if the light is supposed to be switched off at 00:00 in summer then 23:00 must be programmed
in.
