3.2.1
Charge LED
When the connected solar panel is exposed to sunlight, the Charge LED will be green, indicating that the
system is charging normally.
The Charge LED will flash green when an overcharge condition or an open battery circuit exists.
PWM mode is used during charging. If an over-discharge of the battery has occurred, the charger will switch
to boost voltage for 10 minutes, then will return to direct voltage for at least 10 minutes to activate the
battery, and finally to the float voltage state where it will remain to maintain the best state of the battery. This
multistep charging process will help bring the battery to full charge and maximize its life span.
3.2.2
Battery LED
The Battery LED is green when the battery voltage is in normal condition. It will blink green slowly when the
battery finishes its charge.
The LED is yellow when the voltage of the battery is below normal.
