After setting the STOP value, a short-push will
move you to the setting, which goes with that
STOP value.
For example, if you set STOP to “12”, you will
see TIME. The “event” will then continue until
the time is after the time you specify in the TIME
setting. One use of this combination of STRT and
STOP could be to turn a light on between dusk
and 11pm.
Step 5
Next, a short-push brings the EMOD setting and
then the TMOD setting. These settings can be
used to set more conditions, which determine
the event.
For example, the EMOD setting can be used to
ensure the light only turns on if the PL is in the
Float state (EMOD=1).
If additional conditions are not needed, they
can be set to zero and they will be disregarded
(always active).

SET/EVNT/TMOD Selection Summary
If you use TMOD settings 0-6, the Low Battery
Disconnect (LBD) function overrides the Event
Controller, and your battery will be protected.
Using settings 8-14 allows the Event Controller
to override the Low Battery Disconnect function,
and your battery will not be protected.
Note: Use TMOD = 8 to 14 for any event that
controls a charging source via a relay as you do not
want the TMOD function being overridden by a
low battery condition (LBD), i.e. TMOD 0 to 7 will
override (and possibly turn off) the charge source
when your battery gets low!

* Note: VEXT is the voltage on the B- sense input
(±8V relative to BAT- terminal). To configure the B-
sense input for this purpose, make BSET=2. This is
offset so that 80 on the VEXT setting screen is 0V.
It is scaled in 0.1V steps so that +2V is represented
by 100, or -3V is represented by 50.
After setting the TMOD value, a short-push will
move you to the setting, which goes with that
TMOD value, similar to STRT and STOP.
