13.2 Solar Regulator
NOTE
Before starting test, make sure the solar array is in full sunlight.
Solar regulators require very little maintenance. All you need to do is regularly check
the wired in connections to see that they are tight and corrosion free.
For more information on your solar regulator, please visit the Ver-Mac support site to
get the solar regulator guide that covers all 3 possible models.
Definition
LED status
Explanation
Bulk Mode
Green LED L3 flashing 2x/sec
•
Solar regulator recharges the batteries with the
maximum current available from the solar panels
•
Regulator stays in Bulk mode as long as battery
voltage is less than the charge limit
•
Once battery voltage reaches charge limit,
regulator moves into
Float
mode
Float Mode
Yellow LED L2 flashing
•
Solar regulator maintains battery voltage
(approx.13.7V at 25°Celsius)
•
If unable to maintain battery voltage, regulator
returns to
Bulk
mode
Standby Mode
Green LED L3 flashing 1x/sec
•
Solar regulator
does not charge
the batteries
•
Standby
mode usually means too little solar
panel voltage output (less than Battery voltage
+1volt)
LVD
(low Voltage
Disconnect)
Red LED L1 flashing
•
Battery voltage is too low (10.4V at 25°Celsius),
so solar regulator disconnected the output Load
and extinguished signboard display
•
LVD condition stops when the batteries are
sufficiently recharged (12.6V at 25°Celsius)
Regulator Defect
L2 and L3 flashing
simultaneously
•
Indicates a regulator hardware defect
