Load reconnect voltage

Low voltage recovery operating voltage (LVR)
When the battery voltage is low, the controller stops supplying power to the load. If the controller needs to reconnect the output, the battery voltage must be higher than the LVD voltage or press the ” ” key to release. The procedure is the same as (c).

Low voltage disconnection voltage
When the battery voltage is low, the load output will be cut off. When the controller detects that the battery voltage is less than the LVD point, the cut-off function will work immediately. At the same time, the state of the controller is locked. The user must charge the battery, when the battery voltage is higher than the LVD voltage or press the ” ” key to release. The load output will return. The procedure is the same as (c). The default data of the above three parameters a, b, c are fully considered by the designer according to the actual usage. Users generally do not need to adjust. Please refer to the recommendations of the battery supplier, otherwise, the battery will be damaged or irreparably damaged.

Load working mode selection
Control the default loading 24 hours work. When the load working time is set to 24 hours, the load will maintain a 24-hour trouble-free working state. When the load working time is set to: s23H, it means there is a load start timer or sensor function. If the battery capacity is sufficient, start loading at sunset. The load will work at the hour set by the timer or stop working until sunrise.
The procedure is the same as (c). When the load joins the timer or sensor mode, if the reset working time exceeds the actual night time, the load output will be turned off at sunrise, although the working time has not reached the set hour. For example, if the local actual night time is 10 hours, the user resets the night work time to 12 hours, but the output will be automatically turned off after 10 hours, and the remaining time will return to zero. The load of the next sunset signal will work normally.

Load sharing settings
This parameter is used to set the load discharge capacity. When the load capacity (AH) reaches the set value, the load will automatically shut down and the set value will return to zero. Please manually start the load or reset the consumption capacity of the load. The default consumption capacity of the load is unlimited. The procedure is the same as (C).

System voltage selection

  • This parameter is suitable for customers’ wide-range voltage requirements. The default display “UT0” system voltage 12/24/48v auto.
  • When the battery voltage is between 9V-15V, the controller automatically switches to 12V system work; when the battery voltage is between 18-30V, the controller automatically switches to 24V system work; when the battery voltage is between 36V-60V, the control system automatically switches to 48V operation.
  • If the system voltage is set to “1”, the controller will always work in the 12V version. The battery voltage is invalid. Reset data will work after reconnecting.
  • If the system voltage is set to “2”, the controller will always work in the 24V version. The battery voltage is invalid. Reset data will work after reconnecting.
  • If the system voltage is set to “3”, the controller will always work in the 48V version. The battery voltage is invalid. Reset data will work after reconnecting.
