The
icon (green LED) indicates “Charge Complete” at this point the battery is fully charged and
the charge controller is in float mode.
Status
Bulk Charge
LED
Charge Complete
LED
Conditions
Bulk Charge
ON
OFF
Indicates the battery is charging. Power is being
allowed to pass through to the battery.
Solar Power
Weak
Flashes
OFF
Indicates the solar panel voltage is too low when in
Bulk Charge mode or insufficient sunlight.
Float Charge
Mode
OFF
ON
Indicates fully charged battery, a small charge
continues to pass to the battery in order to maintain
a full charge state.
The bottom 3 LED indicator lights show the state of the battery. These functions are described below.
The
icon (green LED) indicates the battery voltage is greater than 12.5V.
The
icon (yellow LED) indicates the battery voltage is between 11.5V and 12.5V.
The
icon (red LED) indicates the battery voltage is less than 11.5V.
The
icon will blink if battery is disconnected from the unit. The charge controller will not
function if not connected to both the battery as well as the solar array. Testing may not be performed
while the charge connector is unhooked from one or both of the battery or solar array.
