an equalization cycle if this phase is authorized by the initial settings of the equipment. The
equalization phase will be authorized as from the beep after having pressed the "Set" button (4) for
2 seconds. The "Charge" light indicator flashes 3x as long as the equalization phase is not completed.
The equalization can be interrupted by pressing a second time for 2 seconds: a double beep
indicates that the function has been cancelled. The indicator (2) stops flashing 3x confirming the
cancellation.
Pressing the "Set" button (4) for 5 seconds until the second beep turns off the VarioTrack. It starts
again by pressing the "Set" button for 5 seconds.
When the VarioTrack(s) are connected to an Xtender system and the synchronization {10037}
is activated, the manual equalization can be started only during the battery cycle of the
Xtender which will then pilot the VarioTrack to carry out an equalization phase. In
"synchronized" mode, the cycle state - floating, absorption, equalization - are indicated. The
"charge" LED (2) and the indicator for the amount of charge are used when the equipment
is operating.

IGHT STANDBY INDICATOR
This green indicator lights up when the VarioTrack is connected to a battery and ready to operate
but there is no PV voltage (at night or when no PV module is connected) or it is too low (inferior to
the battery voltage). This indicator flashes when there is a PV voltage but it is insufficient to charge
the batteries (at the beginning or at the end of the day). In order to save the battery power, the
VarioTrack charger turns off and goes in standby mode when this indicator lights up or flashes. It will
then consume less than 1W. The charger automatically switches on again when the sun starts shining
and PV voltage goes back above the battery voltage.

HARGE CYCLE INDICATOR
This yellow indicator lights up when the sun is shining and the photovoltaic generator produces
enough voltage for charging the batteries. Various flashing modes enable to distinguish what phase
the regulator is in. This indicator lights up continuously during the bulk phase. It flashes 1x during the
floating phase, 2x during the absorption phase and 3x during the equalization phase.
In "synchronized" mode, the cycle state – bulk, floating, absorption, equalization - are indicated.

Comment
If no indicator lights up, the equipment is de-energized. 01
The equipment is energized but it does not operate
because of a user command (the "Set" button has been
pressed for 5s).
low voltage The equipment is still operating but shows that the
battery is lower than the battery undervoltage level set
by parameter {10334}.
The VarioTrack detects an abnormal situation which
does not correspond to the programmed value of the
parameter {10060} checking the state of the earth
connection. The VarioTrack turns off. It automatically
starts again when the normal situation is restored.
This may be due to an excessive ambient temperature,
an excessive exposure of the equipment to a heat source (sun) or to
in the deficient or impeded ventilation.
higher Check the cause of this excessive voltage. The
equipment automatically starts again when voltage
returns to a value lower than 17/34/68V.
