- Page 15 (1) Enabled is recommended. (2) Precautionary settings ignored during normal operation and communication with Discover Lithium Battery. (3) The lowest operating voltage allowed. Increase voltage as required. (4) Restart voltage after DC input low shutdown. Recommend setting to the minimum value (minimum varies according to the DC Input low shutdown value).
- Page 16 The Victron MPPT defaults to open-loop (voltage-based) settings when there is a break in communication with LYNK LITE. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, it is recommended to program the Victron MPPT with the correct voltage-based parameters (below) before setting up the system to function in a closed-loop configuration.
