Info: If the BMK (Battery Monitor Kit) is connected, the DC amps

value determined by the BMK (under METER: 03 BM: Meters/ DC

Amps) will be used by the CC/CV's Max Amps setting instead of the

inverter's DC calculated current (shown under METER: 01A INV/

CHG Meter/ DC:)—as it is more accurate (+/- .1 ADC).

– These selections determine when the second stage of

charging (Constant Voltage) is ﬁ nished. If using the DoneTime or Do-

neAmps selections, once the constant voltage charge cycle is ﬁ nished,

it transitions to a Silent charge stage. After entering the Silent Charge

mode, the charger automatically stops charging, but is still actively

monitoring the battery voltage. The charger will remain "Silent" until

the battery voltage drops to the Recharge setting, at which time the

charger will start another Constant Current/Constant Voltage charge

cycle

DoneTime – The DoneTime selection is used when a speciﬁ c

time is selected to be the best solution for determining when the bat-

teries are fully charged and the Constant Voltage stage needs to end.

This setting determines how long the charger will hold the battery

voltage at the Chg Volts setting—based on a set time period. When

using time, the battery bank size will typically determine the length

of the DoneTime setting. The larger the battery bank, the longer the

time needed to ensure a full charge to the batteries. If the setting

is from 0.1 to 25.5 hrs, the charger transitions to the Silent Charge

mode after the battery voltage has been at the charge voltage setting

for the selected time. Refer to Table 3-2 to assist you in selecting the

DoneTime setting based on the AHr capacity of your battery bank.

Default: 1.5 Hrs

Range: 0.1-25.5 Hrs

Note: After choosing DoneTime, the MaxTime and Recharge settings

must be determined (pp. 23-24).
