Error Output (AUX Mode)

This mode is useful for monitoring remote sites. It is intended to signal when the charge controller
has not charged the batteries for 26 hours or more or if the battery voltage has fallen below the
threshold voltage for more than 10 minutes. The 26-hour timer can be viewed.
When set as Active Low, it can operate an alarm by sending a signal through a modem to a computer
to alert the operator of the condition.
