NOTE:
The push button can be used to toggle through the displays faster.The
entire self-test takes 30 to 45 seconds. The load will be turned on for 0.1
second and may flash during the test. A short or overload condition
could cause a controller restart.
The following displays will occur (examples are used):
8.8.8
self-test started, checking the digital meter segments
12U
the system voltage (12/24/48)
15A
ProStar current rating
R1.5
software version installed
E04
a fault has been detected (see list below)
– – -
display if no fault is found
25C
temperature measured at the controller
RP
remote temp probe is detected (if connected)
25C
temperature at the remote probe (if connected)
SEN
battery sense detected (if connected)
S-1
battery select position (1,2, or 3)
J-1
telecom noise jumper cut (change to on-off regulation)
END
end of the self-test
END – – – END
display continues if no error was detected.
END END
display continues if an error has been detected.
To terminate the self-test, push the button.
The self-test can be repeated to confirm the result.
Error List:
E0 I
Rotary switch battery selection failure
E03
Voltage reference test failed (circuit, malfunctions)
E04
Solar array current fault (circuit, FETs)
E07
Load FETs off test (load connection, FETs shorted)
E08
Load current fault (circuit, FETs)
E09
Load FETs on test (load circuit, FETs open)
E I0
Internal temp sensor out of range high
E I I
Internal temp sensor out of range low
E I2
Remote temp probe out of range
E I3
Battery sense fault (battery V drop over 5V, no Sense negative connection)
NOTE:
In addition to the self-test, observe the solar and load currents displayed
in the meter. The self-diagnostics plus the currents displayed in the meter
will provide a comprehensive test of the ProStar. Some faults may exist
that are not detected by the self-test, but the large majority of potential
faults will be tested and reported in this self-diagnostic test.
Refer to section 9.0 for more information.
