B) WITH AUTOMATIC FLOAT ACTIVATED
As the sun rises, the RV-45D will deliver all available
charging amperage to the batteries. The battery voltage will
rise under this influence until it reaches a point that is 0.8 volts
higher than the SOC voltage setpoint.
The controller will then begin to taper the charge until it
reaches a value equal to about 60% of the charging amperage.
It will then cut off all charging until the battery voltage falls to
the SOC voltage setpoint.
The RV-45D will then operate in its Pulse Width Modulation
"Taper" cycle and only deliver whatever amperage the batteries
need to maintain the SOC voltage setpoint.
As the sunlight fades and evening approaches, the battery
voltage will begin to fall from the SOC voltage setpoint to a
lower point that is closer to its "at rest" voltage.
This cycle will be repeated the following morning or at
any time the battery voltage falls below the SOC setpoint.
C) WITH THE "MODE" DIP SWITCH "OFF"
As the sun rises, the RV-45D will deliver all available
charging amperage to the batteries. The battery voltage will rise
under this influence until it approaches whatever SOC voltage
setpoint you have selected. At this point, the RV-45D will enter
its Pulse Width Modulation "Taper" charge and deliver whatever
charging amperage the battery requires to maintain the selected
SOC voltage setpoint.
As the sunlight fades and evening approaches, the battery
voltage will begin to fall from the SOC voltage setpoint to a
lower point that is closer to its "at rest" voltage.
This cycle will be repeated the following morning.
NOTE: If you are using the Temperature Compensation
feature, the setpoint voltage may be slightly higher or lower
depending on the battery temperature. This applies to all
three modes.
