Outback Power Systems MX60 Installation And User Manual page 11

The Battery equalization process must be started manually. The screen shown in Figure 12 is used to start the
equalization process. The EQ process is automatically terminated once the EQ time period has occurred. Pressing
"Stop" will over-ride the timed EQ charge.
Miscellaneous Screens:
customer service personnel who need to access technical information. The following is a brief description of the contents
of these screens:
Voc: This is the open circuit voltage of the PV panels measured at the last wakeup cycle.
State: The MX60 has thousands of lines of code. Each operation is called a State. This number is useful for
troubleshooting.
PWM%: This is the duty cycle of the buck converter.
ChgT: This is the minute counter for the Absorption and EQ cycle. It counts up from zero (000) while in the
Bulk cycle and then counts down from a maximum of 120 minutes in the Absorption cycle. This allows
the MX60 to enter the Float stage sooner when the controller starts the charging process with a full
battery. It is not used.
Temp Comp: Battery temperature compensated absorb and float setpoints. The setpoints will rise when the battery is
cold and will be lowered when the battery is hot.
Wak: Allows manual startup of the MX60 after it has entered the snoozing stage.
Rstrt: Forces the MX60 to restart from sleep mode or to re-establish the maximum power point of the PV
array.
