Auxiliary Output
This menu controls the output and functionality of the Auxiliary (AUX) output. The charge controller’s
AUX terminals provide a 12 Vdc output that can deliver up to 0.2 Adc to control external loads. Typical
loads include signaling a generator to start, sending a fault alarm signal, or running a small fan to cool the
inverter. See the charger controller
User’s Manual for more information on hooking up the AUX terminals.
To
access
the
Auxiliary Output
menu:
1. Access the Charge Controller menu as shown in Figure 90 on page 94.
2. Use the control wheel to highlight the Auxiliary Output menu.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
3. Use the control wheel to increase or decrease the set points to the correct voltage.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
This should automatically move the highlighting to the next set point.
4. After setting the parameters for each set point, press the
TOP
navigation key to return to the
Main Menu screen.
Figure 96 Auxiliary Output
Set Points:

Status : The Auxiliary Output status is controlled by the < Off >, < Auto >, and < On > soft keys.
~ <On >activates the Auxiliary Output immediately. It will display the message Manual On and
remain continuously active until < Off > is selected.
~ <Auto> sets the Auxiliary Output to be triggered by automatic criteria, according to the option
selected in Aux Mode. When triggered, it displays the message Auto On ; otherwise it displays
Auto Off .
~ <Off> disables the Auxiliary Output and prevents any of the charge controller’s automatic AUX
options from working. When < Off> is selected, it will display Manual Off . Note that even if the
AUX output is set to Off, it may still be triggered by an external option not based in the charge
controller, such as AGS. (See page 114.)

Aux Mode : Selects one of nine options with automatic criteria. The options appear in the following
order when the wheel is drawn clockwise. The Vent Fan option appears first if the charge controller is
set at factory default values; otherwise, it will tend to display the last option selected. (The options are
described in greater detail in the charge controller
User’s Manual .)
~ Vent Fan enables the AUX output in response to high DC (battery) voltage. It can run a small fan
to ventilate the battery compartment to eliminate gases that result from battery charging.
