G = green
G - Y - R = flashing sequencially
Y = yellow
G / Y = flashing together
R = red
G / Y - R = G and Y flashing together,
alternating with R flash

4.4.2 Status LED
The Status LED indicates charging status and any exist-
ing solar input error conditions. The Status LED is on when
charging during the day and off at night. The Status LED will
flash red whenever an error condition(s) exists. Table 4.4 lists
the Status LED indications.

NOTES:
1)
R
flashing is generally a user addressable fault / error
2)
R
charging status LED ON with heartbeat blink OFF
every 5 secs is a critical fault that generally requires service.

Solar Overload
No LED indication. The EcoBoost MPPT will limit battery
current to the 20, 30 or 40 amp maximum rating. An over-
sized solar array will not operate at peak power. The solar
array should be less than the EcoBoost MPPT nominal max.
input power rating for optimal performance. See Section
7.0 - Technical Specifications for more information.
