Auto Restart (Advanced Menu) - Alpha Group OutBack Power FLEXmax Series Owner's Manual

Operation

Auto ReStart (Advanced Menu)

This setting allows the user to choose between continuous maximum power point (MPP) tracking, or
occasional restarts of the sweeping process. A restart means the controller abandons the existing
maximum power point value it was using and "re-sweeps", or begins gathering new power point data.
(See page 95 for more information on MPP tracking.)
Auto ReStart has three options available:
 Mode 0 – Initial sweep only and then continuous MPP tracking. Auto ReStart is disabled. The FLEXmax will
continously track the maximum power point without starting over.
 Mode 1 – Automatic re-sweep every 90 minutes if controller is in an MPPT mode (MPPT Float, MPPT
Bulk, etc). This will not reset any counters, charging stages, or statistics.

Mode 2 – Automatic re-sweep every 90 minutes if controller is in any charging mode. This will not reset any
counters, charging stages, or statistics.
