For sites with snow in the winter months, the increased angle helps to shed snow. A solar panel covered in snow produces

little or no power.

9.4.3 Recommended Solar Configurations

These solar panel and battery combinations assume direct sunlight for at least two to three hours a day. Solar insolation

maps provide approximate sun energy for various locations. The depth of battery discharge is assumed to be 50 percent.

Battery capacity (amp hour) is a standard amp rating taken for 20 hours. Battery capacity should be monitored for reliable

system power and may need to be increased for cold weather locations.

9.4.4 Monitoring Solar Operation

The DXM solar controller provides Modbus registers that allow the user to monitor the state of the solar panel input voltage,

the battery voltage, the charging current, and the temperature in °C. The DXM can be configured to monitor the health of the

charging system as well as send an alert message when the battery is too low.
The charts show a typical charging cycle, with each vertical grid representing about eight hours. The chart shows three days

of charging.

9.5 Clear the Password for the DXM100 and DXM150 Models Only

By default, the DXM Controllers does not require a password to load a configuration file. If a password is defined, the

password must be entered before uploading a configuration file. To change the password, you must already know the current

password. If you do not know the current password, follow these steps to clear the password.

Important:

Clearing the password erases the current configuration and any program files, log files, or

history files.
