UNDERSTANDING SOLAR, ALTERNATOR
& CHARGING LIGHTS
Standby Mode
No inputs detected. Once the Aux battery has
been connected and is within the detectable
voltage range, the battery type LED will short flash
to indicate the device is in standby mode and no
input sources are detected
Battery type selection mode
Press and hold the Mode button for 2 ~ 4
seconds, upon releasing the button, the default
battery type LED will cease to flash and remain
solid. Press mode button repeatedly until required
battery type LED is selected. Battery type setting
is now programed and charger will return to
Standby mode after a short time.
Standby Mode Alternator input detected
With no Solar connected or detected and the
Alternator is the only available input source, the
input LED will short flash to indicate input voltage
is below the set cut-in voltage. Charger is still in
Standby mode and has not begun to charge the
battery.
Standby Mode Alternator and Solar inputs
detected
Both input sources are detected but neither has
reached the set cut in voltage range. By default
Alternator input has priority and will provide power
to charge the battery. Solar priority has not been
selected and indicator LED is on.
Charging with Alternator or Solar only
Once the input source reaches the set cut-in voltage, charging will begin. The battery type LED
will turn solid and the active charge stage LED will come on and remain solid, while the input
source LED will continue to flash.
