3.3.1 Setting up a user- or custom defined battery or charge program

When you wish to use different charge parameter settings than available as standard, you can select
the 'USE' battery type and revise a number of voltages. It remains however strongly recommended
to use the Dashboard Mobile app to perform this action. Please see below the procedure to setup a
user defined battery or custom charge program. First the ENTER key has to be pressed for 2 seconds
until the currently set battery type starts flashing:
After the ENTER key has been pressed a number of times to select the USE battery type, press the
SELECT key to jump to the system voltage selection and make sure the correct system voltage is
selected as in the example below:
In this example a 24V system voltage is selected. When the SELECT key is pressed the first voltage
parameter (Equalize charge voltage) is shown, see below:
When setting up charge voltages using the display, the value range is 9.0 – 17.0V. For a 12V
battery system this is fine. But when making settings for 24V, 36V and 48V battery systems,
you need to divide your target voltage values by respectively 2, 3 or 4 to stay in the 9.0 –
17.0V range. The solar charger will make sure that the voltage settings are multiplied by the
correct factor again to guarantee correct voltages during charging.
The voltage can be edited by short pressing the ENTER key each time to increase the value by 0.1V.
When 17.0V is reached, the voltage value will jump back to 9.0V and can be increased again. If you
wish to turn off periodic equalize charging, just make sure that this voltage has the same value as the
Absorption/Boost charge voltage. In the above example 14.6V is set, while a 24V battery system
