Display Contrast / Reading Angle
The display is a high-contrast LC display. Depending on
the angle of view, the contrast of the display might be
too weak or too high (hidden characters are visible).
The contrast can be quickly adapted by pressing the
buttons 1 and 3 (increase contrast) simultaneously, or by
pressing the buttons 2 and 3 (reduce contrast)
simultaneously.
Adjustment of the Background Illumination:
The background illumination can be adapted from bright to completely dark in steps of 10 %
according to the requirements. Press any arrow button for 3 seconds. After that, the arrow buttons 1
or 2 are used to increase or reduce the brightness. Save the adjustment by pressing button 3.
Activation, Deactivation
The solar controller supplies current to the solar computer. The unit is optimized for extremely current saving operation
and offers three operation modes.
Stand-by:
During stand-by mode the display is empty. Only the “Charge” symbol will be displayed in case of discharged
battery and the sun symbol in case of activated solar controller.
Display with and without illumination:
As soon as the solar computer 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 continues showing the same data. The display illumination is reactivated by
pressing any button. The proper function of the button will be effected by pressing the button a second time.
Solar Displays
Use the button 1 to change to the next page of the measured and displayed values of the
solar system. The buttons 1 or 2 are used to change to the next or previous page of the
display.
Current:
The instantaneous current rate (Amperes “A”) of the solar system is displayed.
Voltage:
The voltage rate (Volts “V”) of the solar battery is displayed.
Solar Power Counter:
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 effected by pressing the button 3 for more
than 3 seconds until (Set ----)
is displayed.
Capacity:
The instantaneous capacity of the solar system is displayed as
bar graph in steps of 10 % on the left side of the display.
The nominal capacity of the system must be adjusted at the solar
computer after initial start-up and after each change of the solar system to
ensure correct display of the bar graph. Adjust the display manually to 100 %, when the sun
shines and the full charging current flows. Adjustment is effected by setting the display to
current (A) and by pressing the button 3 for more than 3 seconds until (Set 100 %) is
displayed. This procedure can be repeated at discretion and as required.
