Temperature Compensation
When equipped with the Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS), the charge controller compensates for
temperature changes by raising or lowering its charging voltages. However, in some cases the sensitivity
of other DC devices may require this temperature compensation to be limited. This menu allows the user
to manually adjust the upper and lower limits of temperature compensation. See the charger controller
User’s Manual
for an explanation of temperature compensation and more information on manual limits.
To
access
the
Temperature Compensation
menu:
1.
Access the
Charge Controller
menu as shown in Figure 90 on page 94.
2.
Use the control wheel to highlight the
Temperature Compensation
menu.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
3.
Use the control wheel to increase or decrease the set points to the correct voltage.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
This should automatically move the highlighting to the next set point.
4.
After setting the parameters for each set point, press the
TOP
navigation key to return to the
Main Menu
screen.
Figure 93
Temperature Compensation
Set Points:
Mode:
Selects between
Wide
, which allows full compensation, and
Limited
, which allows the manual
limits controlled by the next two set points. (The charge controller
User’s Manual
features this as an
option under “RTS Compensation.”
Limited: Lower Battery Voltage:
Adjusts the lowest allowed compensated voltage. (The
User’s
Manual
features this as an option under “RTS Compensation.”)
Limited: Upper Battery Voltage:
Adjusts the highest allowed compensated voltage. (The
User’s
Manual
features this as an option under “RTS Compensation.”)
Note
: If the
Mode
set point is selected to
Wide
, the temperature compensation will be controlled only by
the RTS. The
Lower
and
Upper
settings can be changed, but they will have no effect. In either mode, the
RTS must be present for
any
compensation to take effect.
