8. About the net battery charging and discharging conditions shown on the display:
As already mentioned in the previous table, the current in Amps shown on the display is the net
one, being the result of the one provided by the solar panel minus the one being drawn by the DC
loads connected to the terminals 5-6 of the unit (if any).
Note
: The net current shown on the display (so the charging and discharging condition) relates
to the solar panels and DC Loads (if any) connected to the corresponding ports on the controller.
hatever current being supplied drawn to from the battery by other external sources loads
respectively that are connected directly to the battery terminals, are out of the controller moni-
toring range. If that were the case, the displayed net current could be meaningless or incomplete.
Some examples in Normal Operating Mode:
The following table shows several conditions for illustration purposes. It is based on a 12V AGM
type battery with a 5.7A DC load. All the possible combinations are not shown.
Display/Case # Current flows
Case #1:
Display showing no solar panel power available and the DC-Load port is OFF
Case #2-1:
Display showing no solar panel power available and the DC-Load port is ON
->Flashing as should be always to indicate unit is running.
->Off, to indicate no current is flowing from the solar
panel, at least not a perceptible one. It is either disconnected
or at night condition, so its arrow is not shown.
->Off, to indicate DC-Load port is OFF, so no current from
the battery to the DC-Load terminals -->No arrow is shown
AGM -->Battery type setting is shown, being, in this case, AGM
