Wide/Lmit Battery Temperature Compensated Limits - Outback Power Systems MX60 Installation, Programming, And User's Manual

WIDE/LMIT Battery Temperature Compensated Limits

During cold weather, a battery often requires a higher recharging voltage. Lower quality inverters
might not accommodate these higher voltages and can shut down during recharging, cutting off
power to their loads. The MX60 allows the user to lower the compensated voltage in the Absorb
cycle so these inverters will remain operating. Also, some batteries have an absolute voltage limit
that should not be exceeded and the WIDE/LMIT option allows the user to control this during re-
charging. WIDE allows the RTS full control over recharging; LMIT sets the ceiling and fl oor voltages
for the RTS.
During hot weather, the LMIT feature set point assures recharging will continue at a high enough
voltage rather than dropping too low in reaction to a higher ambient temperature. This assures
the recharging voltage adequately charges, but should be monitored according to the battery
manufacturer's recommendations.
The RTS default compensated voltages apply if the WIDE/LMIT option is set to WIDE in the MISC
menu. The upper and lower LMIT settings can be viewed in the second menu of the Log2 screen
when LMIT is selected.
The LMIT set points can be set in the AUX MODE menu. To set the LMIT upper and lower set points,
press the #1 soft key once and return to the MAIN Menu. From the MAIN Menu, access the AUX
MODE screens and then the Low Batt Disconnect screen.
