Short-term battery voltage fluctuations caused by motors starting
etc. will not activate LBD. Once the battery has recharged to a
safe level, the load will automatically switch on again. This may
take some time.
You do not have to use this feature, and the controller will still
operate effectively without it.
To use Low Battery Disconnect, you need to connect your load
to the regulator as described on page 6, and you should also
ensure that you have chosen a program where the Low Battery
Disconnect feature is activated - see page 11.
Note - NEVER connect batteries or inverters to the load
terminals of the controller.
They will cause heavy current flow
which may damage the controller.
Light Controller Option
There is a built in light controller which can switch lights on at
night. When the voltage from the solar array drops, the Light
Controller function will switch on power to the load terminals. If
you have connected lights to the load terminals, they will switch
on at dusk and switch off at dawn.
(The solar panel voltage is used
to sense the light level.)
If the battery voltage drops too low, the low battery disconnect
function overrides the light controller and turns the lights off.
To use the Light Controller option, choose a program which
enables this function, as described on page 11.
