8  Configuring the controller

The following section describes the configuration settings that can be 

performed on the controller. 

8.1  Accessing and changing settings

Pressing and holding the left button for at least 3 seconds brings you to the 

first settings window (Operating mode). Further pressing of the left button 

displays other windows. After the last window, the first window is displayed 

once more.
Press the right button when you want to change settings in the currently 

displayed window. The display then starts flashing. You can now use the left 

button to select different settings. You must press the right button to save 

the settings you have made. The display then stops flashing.
You can return to the normal display by waiting for 30 seconds or by press-

ing and holding the left button for 3 seconds. This applies to all windows.
The settings are retained when the battery is disconnected.

8.2  Operating modes

The device is supplied with SOC control preset. This means that the charging 

method and deep discharge protection are controlled by the calculated SOC 

value. If loads are directly connected to the battery and not to the controller 

or the battery is also charged from a different source, then the Voltage 

control (with bar display) operating mode must be selected. Otherwise, the 

SOC calculation may be incorrect. 

Notes on the 

Voltage control with bar display

 operating mode:

•  Each of the 10 bar segments represents a particular voltage. The voltage 

values are described in Section Technical data, Bar display scaling.

•  If the voltage lies exactly between two bar segments, then the display 

may jump back and forth between the two segments.

8.3  Setting the battery type to Gel / Liquid

The default setting is "Li". 

Setting the battery type 

affects the final charge 

voltage of the controller. If 

you use a Gel or AGM battery, 

then you must set the battery type to GEL.

Please note: An incorrect battery type setting can damage the battery!

8.4  Night light settings

This setting offers three possibilities in the following sequence
•  OFF: The function is deactivated (default).
•  Load switch-on duration selection from 1 to 12 hours (lower middle Fig.). 
•  ON: The load output remains switched on all night.
