Restart Mode - Alpha Group OutBack Power MATE3 Owner's Manual

~ Low Batt Disconnect enables the AUX output upon reaching a settable low-battery voltage. This
option is intended as a low-battery disconnect function for DC loads.
This option has settable DC voltage and time parameters.
~ Remote allows the AUX output to be enabled in response to manual or automatic commands
based in the MATE3 (such as AGS).
Remote and Float have no adjustable settings.

Restart Mode

This setting allows the user to choose between continuous MPP tracking, or occasional restarts of the
sweeping process. A restart means the controller abandons the existing maximum power point and
"re-sweeps", or begins gathering new power point data.
To access the Restart Mode menu:
1. Access the Charge Controller menu as shown in Figure 90 on page 94.
2. Use the control wheel to highlight the Restart Mode menu.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
3. Use the control wheel to increase or decrease the set points to the correct selection.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
This should automatically move the highlighting to the next set point.
4. After setting the parameters for each set point, press the TOP navigation key to return to the
Main Menu screen.
Set Points:
 0: Initial sweep and then continuous MPP tracking.
 1: Automatic re-sweep every 90 minutes if controller is in an MPPT mode (MPPT Float, MPPT Bulk, etc).
 2: Automatic re-sweep every 90 minutes if controller is in any charging mode.
