* Note: VEXT is the voltage on the B- sense input
(±8V relative to BAT- terminal). To configure the B-
sense input for this purpose, make BSET=2. This is
offset so that 80 on the VEXT setting screen is 0V.
It is scaled in 0.1V steps so that +2V is represented
by 100, or –3V is represented by 50.
**Note: “PB” means a push-button switch. If you
wish to use this option, you must wire a switch
or other trigger between the B- terminal (green
terminal block) and the BAT- terminal, and make
BSET = 2.
After setting the STRT value, a short-push will
move you to the setting, which goes with that
STRT value. For example, if you set STRT to “1”,
you will see SOLV. Whenever the solar panel
voltage drops below the value you set in SOLV,
the “event” will start.
Step 4
Use the STOP setting to tell the PL what signifies
the end of the “event”.
The STOP setting uses the following table:
