Setting the charge profile ("Selected charge profile“)
You may adjust the charge profile for each type of rechargeable battery here. Select from
SLA, GEL, AGM, LiFePO4 and User defined
.
The appropriate charge profile parameters are displayed in "Profile parameters". If the charge profile "User defined" was selected, the
user may also define the settings for the charging level himself.

Note:
The user-defined charge profile should only be used by experienced users, because the connected rechargeable battery may not be
charged completely or damaged if the settings were made in a wrong manner!
Uper table is for a 12V battery system. At 24V you have to use the double voltage values. At 48V it must be multiplied with the factor 4.
Load output settings ("Load switch settings“)
Four operating modes are available for the load output:
•
N/A:
Load output switches off permanently when the cutoff voltage has been reached
•
AUTO:
Load output switches off when the cutoff voltage has been reached and switches on when the
reactivation voltage has been reached
•
D/N:
Load output switches on after 2 minutes without solar power
(night light function),
switches off when solar power is applied
•
TIME:
Load output switches off or on at pre-programmed times
If the timer function is selected, any time may be defined for switching the load output on or off. The two input fields "Load on time" and
"Load off time" are available for this purpose.
Deep discharge protection setting ("Deep disch. Settings")
By setting the "Load off" value you define the battery voltage at which the load output is switched off to protect the battery against deep
discharge. The "Load on" value specifies as of which voltage the load is reconnected, provided the load output mode "Auto" has been
selected.
Display operating data ("Data View" mode)
This mode can only be selected if at least the battery voltage is applied to the solar controller.
Any other data will only be displayed if the appropriate components are connected with the solar controller.
The following functions are available for system monitoring:
•
Real-time display

of the current operating data
(battery voltage, charge current, load current temperature)
•
Storing the operating data in a *.txt file; including time stamp
•
Printout of recorded data via your printer

In addition, the current date and time can be synchronized, and the energy meter can be reset.
To read the parameters currently defined in the device, select the "Read" button.
If you have made all desired settings, they will be accepted for the device by clicking on the "Write" button. The successful execution of
the command is then displayed in the status window.
You may then deactivate the connection with the device ("Disconnect" using the "Connect to device" window).
