7. Monitoring

This chapter describes all various monitoring methods and for each method how to access live data, historic data and errors.

7.1. LED indications

The solar charger has three LEDs to indicate operational status, a blue, green and a yellow LED. These LEDs respectively
indicate the charge stages bulk, absorption and float, but are also used to indicate other charge situations and fault situations.
Errors are indicated via a combination of LEDs that are on, off, or are blinking. Each LED combination has a meaning, indicating
either a normal operation mode, or indicating an error.
