Display Contrast / Reading Angle
The background illumination can be adapted in steps of 10 % according to the requirements. For this the Display has to
show the battery voltage. Pressing the right button for 3 seconds activates the adjustment of the backlight. Each further
brief press of the right button changes the brightness. The setting is automatically saved after a short time and the display
will return to normal operation.
Activation, Deactivation
The LCD-Charge Control S gets current from the Triple. The unit is optimized for extreme current saving operation and
offers two operation modes.
Display with and without illumination:
As soon as the LCD-Charge Control S is operated, the display illumination will
be
switched-on and will remain activated for 3 minutes. If there is no operation during this time, the illumination will be
switched-off automatically. The display shows the same data as before, when the illumination was active. The display
illumination is reactivated by pressing any button. The proper function of the button will be performed by pressing the
button a second time.
Displays
The Values of the Triple are scrolled with the button 1. Solar power and meters are unavailable when connected to a VAC
Triple.
Voltage
: The voltage (Volts „V“) of the board battery is displayed.
The voltage of the vehicle battery is shown while holding down the button 1 for at least 3 seconds.
Current
: The display shows the Triples current charging current (Ampere „A“).
For solar and ac charging mode it shows the sum of charging currents for both batteries. In booster
mode it shows the charging current of the board battery.
Capacity:
While charging by solar, it shows the current solar power.
While the solar-charging-regulator inside the Triple reduces the current due to a full battery it also
reduces the displayed power. This is indicated by a blinking sun.
Solar Power Meter:
The power being generated by the solar system is counted continuously and
will be displayed as ampere-hours (Ah), as well as watt-hours (Wh). If the value 9999 Wh is
exceeded, the display changes to kWh.
The counter readings can be separately reset to zero at
any time. If the corresponding counter value is displayed,
the reset can be performed by pressing the button 3 for
more than 3 seconds until (Set ----)
is displayed.
Charging-Phase
: The current phase of charging is shown by the bar segments on the left hand side
of the display.
Triple Operation Modes
The Triple uses different charging sources, AC (230V), solar (only VBCS Triple) and the alternator.
To distinguish between the operating modes there are small triangles at the bottom of the display pointing to the markings
off, AC, limit and DC, as long as the sun symbol.
Operating Mode
Charging Converter
The indicator "DC" (in the display at the bottom right) indicates the charging converter mode while the vehicles alternator
and thus the Triples booster are running. This mode cannot be changed by LCD Charge Control S.
Operating Mode Solar Controller
(only VBCS Triple)
The operating mode of the solar controller is indicated by the sun symbol.
No sun: Solar power is not at disposal
Full sun: Solar power is at disposal, maximum possible charge
Only sunrays: Solar charger is ready, the charging converter or mains charger is active in the Triple
(see operating mode mains charger).
