The default state of the ERROR ALARM is On,
meaning 12 VDC is present at the AUX terminal. If
the MX60 has not charged the batteries for 26 hours
or more continuously, the inaudible ERROR ALARM
goes into an Off state. The ERROR ALARM is intended
for remote locations to signal (e.g., a telecommunica-
tion signal to a computer) when the MX60 has not
recharged for 26 hrs or more. See MISCELLANEOUS
Screen 3 Err for a display of the hourly countdown.
Press the <NEXT> soft key to advance to the
Diversion screen.
When external DC sources (wind, hydro) are directly
connected to a battery bank, any excess power
should be sent to a diversion load, such as a heating
element. In Diversion, the user programs set points—
from -5.0 volts to 5.0 volts relative to the Absorb,
Float and EQ voltages—to activate the AUX MODE.
This is primarily an off -grid function. Pressing the
<VOLT> soft key advances to the Absorb-Float-EQ
screen to adjust the voltage set points.
Use this screen to establish the set points for starting
and ending the AUX MODE relative to the Absorb,
Float, and EQ voltages. The < - > and < + > soft keys
set the Diversion set points. The <HYST> (Hysteresis)
set point establishes when the AUX MODE becomes
inactive after the battery voltage falls below the
Relative Volts voltage minus the HYST value. After
establishing these values, press the <BACK> soft key
to return to the Diversion screen (see example on
next page).
