If the B+ input is not being used for this, then it
can be used for sensing the voltage on a second
battery being charged or for providing a voltage
input for the event controller (VEXT).
Some inverter-chargers, such as the SP PRO,
can communicate to the charge controller when
they want to export power to the grid. Selecting
BSET=3 enables this.
‘Push Button’ Switch Input
To use the B+ sense input as a switch event
input, wire a switch (or other voltage free
contact closure device) between the B+ terminal
(green terminal block) and the Bat+ terminal
(and set BSET = 2). See Figure 7.5.3B
This is an example of using a push button
switch to turn on a light - see section 7.6 Event
controller example 2 for setting details.
