RV. To allow easy system expandability the 3000i may also operate as an IPN Network Master controlling up to 7 Blue Sky Energy IPN compatible charge controllers such as the SB3024iL. Blue Sky Energy’s IPN Network allows multiple charge controllers to communicate with each other and coordinate their activities to charge the battery as a single coordinated charging machine. -

During Bulk it is a combination of battery size, state of charge and available charge current that determine battery voltage, not the 3000i. Blue Sky Energy | USA | www.blueskyenergyinc.com... -
Page 6: Absorption Charge
Blue Sky Energy – Solar Boost 3000i Absorption Charge Once the battery recovers sufficient charge for battery voltage to rise to the Absorption Charge Voltage setpoint (factory set to 14.4V), charge current is reduced as necessary to hold the battery at the Absorption Voltage. The 3000i will return to Bulk should battery voltage remain below the Absorption Voltage setpoint for more than 10 seconds. -

MULTIPLE CHARGE CONTROLLERS ON THE IPN NETWORK The 3000i may also operate as an IPN Network Master controlling up to 7 remote Blue Sky Energy IPN compatible charge controllers such as the SB3024iL or SB2512iX-HV. The IPN Network allows multiple charge controllers to communicate with each other and coordinate their activities to charge the battery as a single coordinated charging machine. -
