4.2.8. Warning deep discharge protection As an early warning, the SOC bar or the voltage value flashes. The face still looks friendly! 4.2.9. Load disconnection If the deep discharging protection has been activated the SOC bar or the voltage value flashes. The face looks sad until the reconnection setpoint is reached. -
Page 12: Deep Discharging Protection
5.3. Deep Discharging Protection The regulator protects the connected battery against an excessive discharging. If the bat- tery falls below a specified charge level (during SOC control) or battery voltage (during the voltage-controlled function), the load output is disconnected and the discharge of the battery is prevented. -
Page 13: Night Light Function Setting
6.4. Night Light Function Setting This setting provides three options in the following order: • OFF: The function is deactivated (default). • Operating time-choice of 1 to 8 hours. • ON: The consumer output remains on for the entire night. This function controls the load output only when it is dark (at night). -
Page 14: Auto-Test
6.7. Auto-test The auto-test can determine whether the charge controller is fully operational. A) Disconnect solar module and load from the regulator, con- nect only the battery. B) Press the right button. The display begins to flash. C) Start the auto-test with the left button. D) If there is no error, this window is displayed shortly (1 sec.). -
Page 15: Error Messages

Page 21: Appendix
Appendix External temperature sensor for the PR 2020-IP In order to fully charge a lead battery, the end-of-charge voltage must be adjusted in accordance with the temperature. The external temperature sensor TSRIP8 is needed, if the range of the battery temperature is outside the standard range of 10 ... 25 °C. The external sensor can record the actual temperature of the battery. -
Page 22: Signal Contact
Signal contact Optional available for the PR2020-IP is the alarm contact output. An alarm is raised if one or more of the following conditions is true. It reopens automatically if the alarm condition is cleared. The contact can handle max. 50 V, 100 mA. The alarm contact (dry contact) output is at pin #3 and #4. - Page 23 718.573 | 11.27...
