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.
