Fig. 7.7A - Event State
7
Step 6
Finally, a short-push displays a screen, which tells
you the current state of each of the conditions,
and whether the “event” is currently active.
If the “event” is inactive, then to turn it on all
three conditions (STRT, EMOD and TMOD)
must become active (ie. “1”).
When the “event“ is active, if the STOP
condition takes place or the TMOD or EMOD
condition goes inactive (ie “0“), then the event
will turn off.
If the display shows “E ON” then the “event”
is currently active. If it shows “EOFF” then the
“event” is currently not active, but will become
active when all of the preset conditions are met.
The numeric figure shows the state of each of
these conditions.
The first digit shows the status of the STRT and
STOP conditions. If the event is off (EOFF), the
first digit shows the state of the STRT condition
(0 = inactive, 1 = active). If the event is on (E
ON) the first digit shows the state of the STOP
condition. In the example, above, this figure will
be “0” during the day (i.e. STRT condition is
inactive), then “1” at dusk when the solar panel
voltage drops to the pre-set SOLV value. If the
battery was fully charged, the event will start.
For example, the display will change to “E ON”
and the first digit will flick back to “0” to show
that the STOP condition is inactive. If the battery
was not fully charged, the event will not start,
the display will stay on “EOFF”, and the first digit
will remain on “1” until either the PL enters the
Float state (when the event will start), or 11pm
comes (when it will flick to 0 until next evening).
The second digit shows the state of the EMOD
condition. In the example above, this digit will
be “1” when the battery is in the Float state, and
“0” if it is in the Boost, Equalise or Absorption
states.
The third digit shows the state of the TMOD
condition. In the example above, TMOD was not
used, and this digit will always be “1”.
