Section 6 - Samlexpower Evolution EVO-1212F Owner's Manual

SECTION 5 |
For example, if the "BULK CURRENT" in the EVO
lar Charge Controller is generating 15A, the internal Battery Charging Section will reduce its current
from 40A to 25A so that the net charging current is equal to the programmed value of 40A.
In other Inverter Chargers where this design feature is not available and the Bulk Charging
Current of the internal Battery Charger Section is fixed, the batteries are likely to be charged at
high Bulk Charging Current = Fixed value of Bulk Charging Current from the internal Battery
Charging Section + Current available from the External Charge Controller.

CAUTION!
Ensure that charging voltage related parameters of EVO
EQUALIZE VOLTAGE (iii) FLOAT VOLTAGE and (iv) Temperature Compensation (COM-
PENSATE) are set / programmed to match the programmed parameters of the external
charge controller. (Please refer to (i) Table 6.2, Section 6 and (ii) Sections 4.4.2.2 to
4.4.2.5 of the Owner's Manual for Remote Control EVO-RC-PLUS).
!
ATTENTION!
S'assurer que la charge de tension, les paramètres connexes d'EVO comme (i) LA TENSION D'ABSORPTION (ii)
EQUALIZE VOLTAGE (iii) TENSION D'ÉGALISER et (iv) La compensation de température (COMPENSATE) est réglée
/ programmée pour correspondre aux paramètres programmés du contrôleur de charge externe. (Veuillez con-
sulter (i) le tableau 6.2, section 6 et (ii) les sections 4.4.2.2 à 4.4.2.5 du manuel d'utilisation de la télécommande
EVO-RC-PLUS).
5.5 BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR
A Battery Temperature Sensor Model EVO-BCTS has been provided [Fig 2.5(a)]. It comes with
5 m / 16.5 ft cable. Connect the ring terminal end (houses the sensor) on the battery Positive
or Negative post [Fig 2.5(b)]. Connect the RJ-45 plug to the Temperature Sensor Jack (6, Fig.
2.1). The Temperature Sensor is used to ensure optimum charging by modifying the charging
voltages based on temperature if the battery sees very wide temperature swings. In addition
to compensating ABSORPTION, EQUALIZE AND FLOAT voltages, the voltage thresholds of
parameters "LOW VOLT ALARM", "BATT LOW VOLTAGE", "RESET VOLTAGE", "BATTERY OVER
VOLT" and "RESET TO BULK" are also temperature compensated. Temperature compensation will
be carried out over a temperature range of –20°C to + 60°C. Table 6.2 shows the programmable
range. Default settings for the temperature coefficient is -4mV/°C/Cell.
5.6 CHARGING PROFILES
Option is available for 6 programmable charging profiles that are designed to cover various
charging requirements for Lead Acid and Lithium Batteries. The profiles can be programmed using
optional Remote Control EVO-RC Plus. Please refer to the following references in the manual for
EVO-RC-PLUS:
• Menu Map for Parameter "CHARGING PROFILE" : Screen No. 21 of Fig 4.2 under Section 4.1.3.1
• Setup steps for Parameter "CHARGING PROFILE": Details under heading "CHARGING
PROFILE" under Section 4.4.2.21
NOTE: 3 Stage Adaptive Charging Profile setting "0=3 Stage Adaptive" is the default
charging profile applicable for Lead Acid Batteries (with no external DC loads
on the battery)
