Battery Control:
The battery control indicates the voltage of board and starter battery.
The arrows at the lower screen margin, as well as the LED lamps "Board" and "Start" indicate the
battery currently being displayed. Switching from board battery to starter battery and vice-versa is
effected by pressing the key "Battery".
Tank Displays:
The tank displays indicate the levels (level height) of the fresh water and sewage water tank as a
percentage. Use the key "Tank" to switch between the display for fresh water tank and sewage
water tank.
Current will only be supplied to the tank sensors, if the levels are interrogated by a keystroke. If the
illumination of the display is switched-off manually, or if it switches-off automatically after a certain
time, the display changes automatically to the board battery. Thus, an unintended operation of the
sensors and current consumption is avoided.
Solar Computer:
The Solar Computer indicates the current operating state, the solar current, as well as the solar
power of the connected VOTRONIC Solar Controller. In addition, it is equipped with a solar power
meter. Use the arrow keys on the right side of the display to change to the next or previous
page.
Current:
The instantaneous current rate in Amperes (A) is displayed.
Capacity:
The instantaneous capacity in Watts (W) of the solar system is displayed as a numerical
value, as well as a bar graph in steps of 10 % on the left side of the display.
After initial start-up, the nominal capacity of the system must be adjusted at the solar computer to
ensure correct display of the capacity. Set the display manually to 100 %, when the sun is shining and
the full charging current is flowing. Adjustment is effected by setting the display to current (A) and by
pressing the key "Solar" for more than 3 seconds until (Set 100 %) is displayed. This procedure can
be repeated at discretion and as required.
Solar Power Meter:
The power being generated by the solar system is measured 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 automatically to kWh. The meter readings can be reset to zero
separately at any time. Reset can take place, if the corresponding meter value is displayed and by
pressing the key Solar for more than 3 seconds until (Set ----) is displayed.
Alarm and Battery Protector:
The VPC Terra is equipped with an audible alarm device (beeper), which will be activated in case of board battery alarm.
An activated alarm is acknowledged by simply pressing any key.
The alarm indicates a drop below the disconnection threshold (protection against total discharge).
This alarm signalises the user, that the main switch will be switched-off automatically after some seconds, because the
board battery is almost empty. Apart from the audible alarm, the symbol "CHARGE" will be displayed.
After the automatic disconnection, the main switch can be switched-on manually by the user as usual.
Additionally, a restart threshold can be set. As soon as this threshold is exceeded, the main switch will be switched-on
automatically.
