Absorb Time Limits

000m 2hr
EXIT NEXT MIN+ MAX+
• A Bulk cycle starts each morning. The charge timer (ChgT) is preset to the minimum Absorb time
limit (zero minutes) while the Bulk/Absorb Charge Timer counts up in minutes.
• The timer stops when it reaches the Maximum Absorb Time or the Absorb voltage set point is met.
• The ChgT counts down to zero after the Absorb voltage is reached.
• At zero, the MX60 goes into Float stage and may briefl y display "Bat Full" (Battery Full) then "Float. "
• When the battery voltage drops below the fl oat voltage set point, the MX60 recharges to main-
tain this set point, employing the F(Float)-MPPT function.
• If the system cannot maintain the Absorb voltage set point during the Absorb cycle, the timer
will stop counting down and begin counting up towards the Max Absorb time as the MX60
transitions to Bulk (BMPPT). This up and down counting will continue until the charge timer counts
down to zero. The Absorb cycle can be disabled by setting the maximum to 0hr.
