Press the <TIME> soft key to advance to the Time screen
which allows the user to adjust the minimum time the
AUX MODE is active after the battery voltage falls below
the Hysteresis voltage.
Hold Time shows how long the AUX MODE stays active
after the battery voltage has fallen below the HYST
(Hysteresis) set point. The user can adjust the Hold Time
from 0.1 to 25 seconds. If a solid state relay is used, set
the Hold time to 0.1 seconds and the Delay time to zero.
The Delay Time shows how long the battery voltage
must be above the Relative Volts before the AUX MODE is
activated. It can be adjusted from 0 to 24 seconds, but is
rarely required. Pressing the <BACK> soft key returns to
the AUX MODE DIVERSION screen.
Example of Diversion
Each recharging state—Absorb, Float, or EQ—has a recharging voltage set point. The Diversion AUX
MODE can be active (On) when the battery voltage is raised above one of these set points for a
certain amount of time or inactive (O ) when it falls below. The user can determine these voltages
and times. In the example above, when the RE source (wind or hydro) raises the battery voltage
00.2v above the chosen set point for a Delay time of 10 seconds—the AUX Output will be active.
When the battery voltage falls 00.3V below the HYST voltage set point for a Hold time of 15 sec
– the AUX Output will be inactive (O ). See Figure 5 for Diversion Load and AUX Wiring Set-Up.
