8.2. Live Data Information

8.2.1. Charger Mode - STATUS tab

• Orion Smart [SERIAL NUMBER] confirms the connected device. A custom name can also be set if desired.
• Mode icon shows in which mode the Orion Smart is operating (Charger in this case)
• Charger State:
• Bulk: During this stage the Orion Smart delivers as much charge current as possible to rapidly charge the batteries. When
the battery voltage reaches the Absorption voltage setting, the Orion Smart activates the Absorption stage.
• Absorption: During this stage the Orion Smart switches to the constant voltage mode, where a pre-set absorption voltage,
suitable to the battery type (See Settings below), is applied. When the Absorption time is elapsed, the Orion Smart activates
the Float stage.
• Float: During this stage the float voltage is applied to the battery to maintain a fully-charged state. When the battery voltage
drops below Re-bulk voltage during at least 1 minute, a new charge cycle will be triggered.
• Input Voltage shows the voltage measured on the input terminals of the device.
• Output voltage shows the voltage measured on the output terminals of the device.
• When the Orion Smart is on Off state, it will not measure the output voltage, so this value will appear as '—'
• Off Reason shows the reason why the Orion Smart is disabled (appears under the "Charger State" text when the Orion Smart
is Off)
