19) Low Battery Time On:

 Sets the amount of time the B801 will hold the 

REbus™

 DC Microgrid to 340V 

and attempt to start 

“Bulk”  cha

rging the batteries.  See 

Section 7.5 - 7.5.1 Low Battery

 Voltage for more 

detailed information. 

20) Relay Turn On Voltage:

 This is the battery 

voltage  at  which  the  relay  will  turn  “

ON

”.  This  means  that  

the normally closed contact will open, and the normally open contact will close.  

In  the  “OFF”  state  t

he 

normally closed contacts will be closed and the normally open contacts will be open. 

21)  Relay  Voltage  Hysteresis:

 

After   the   relay   is   “

ON

”   it   will   stay

  in  that  state  until  the  voltage  drops 

below 

the  “Relay  Turn  On  Voltage”

 minus this setpoint.  This setpoint is the voltage difference between 

“Relay  Turn  On  Voltage”  and  what  would  be  the  “Relay  Turn

 

Off  Voltage”.    For  example  if  you  set  your  

“Relay  Voltage  Hysteresis”  to  be  2V  and  your  “Relay  Turn  On  Voltage”  

is set to 50V then the relay will 

turn on at 50V and off at 48V. 

22)  Relay  Time  Hysteresis:

  The minimum  amount  of time that the relay must remain  OFF  after being 

ON. Regardless of what the battery voltage does after it dropped below the threshold (Relay Turn Off 
Voltage minus Relay Voltage Hysteresis) the relay will stay OFF  for this specified amount of time. This 
protects whatever is connected to the relay from frequent switching ON and OFF. 

8 Internet Compatibility 

The Wi-Fi features of the B801 are entirely optional and can be connected/disconnected in the settings 
menu, accessible from the LCD screen.  Note that in order to receive firmware upgrades and to use the 

Pika  REview™  online  monitoring  system  (See  section  8.4  Pika  account  and  the  REview™  online  

monitoring system) you must be connected to the internet.  

At Pika Energy, we believe that people make better energy decisions when their energy information is 
depicted in an easy to understand and intuitive format.  For this reason, the B801 is designed to display 
its vast amount of energy information on a Pika-supported website called 

REview™  

for visualization and 

analysis.  The website offers the user several graphical options for viewing his or her energy production.  
These include energy (kWh) plotted monthly and daily for 30 years, hourly for the previous year and by 
minute for the past 24 hours. 

The website also provides status reports, event logging and graphics of the energy production for each 
component of the system.  After connecting your B801 to the internet, log on to 

http://profiles.pika-

energy.com/

 to make an account, register your hardware and setup your REview page.  

8.1 Wi-Fi Antenna 

The Pika B801  is shipped standard with a Wi-Fi  antenna that should offer good performance  for most 
installations within 150 feet of a wireless router.  For installations where the charge controller is located 
at a large distance from the Wi-Fi router, the signal strength may not be adequate.  Signal strength can 
be  monitored  on  the  Wi-Fi  Page  of  the  LCD  Display  (see  Section  6.3.3).    In  this  case,  a  higher-gain 
antenna can be purchased to improve the connection to the Wi-Fi router.  Most electronic component 
suppliers offer compatible antennas with SMA connectors.  Most 802.11 antennas with SMA connectors
