ADVANCED
The ADVANCED Menu allows ne-tuning of the MX60 operations including “Snooze” periods and
Maximum Power Point limits. In order of appearance, the following modes occur in the ADVANCED
Menu selections:
• Snooze Mode • Park Mpp (% Voc) • MPP Range Limit % Voc • Sweep Interva
• Vbatt Calibration • Low CutO • MPPT Mode • Absorb Time Limits • Wakeup Mode
From the MAIN Menu, choose Advanced and press the
<GO> soft key.
The MX60 wakes up when an optimal amount of open
circuit voltage (Voc) is available. The Voc varies with
external conditions, primarily the weather and time of
day, which a ect solar panels. If the Voc is insu cient,
the MX60 enters Snoozing until either a ve-minute
(default) period passes or there is a 1.5 volt (default)
increase in Voc at which point the MX60 reevaluates
the Voc for recharging purposes. What is the optimal
amount? The MX60 tries to recharge when the Voc is
greater than the battery voltage by 2 volts, but voltage
alone isn’t su cient. An array might have a big increase
in voltage rst thing in the morning— more than 2 volts
di erence—but not enough ampacity to recharge.
Snoozing also occurs if the recharging current does not
reach the user-selected cuto current set point in the
Lowcuto menu. Press the <MODE> soft key for Snooze
Mode options. Press the <NEXT> soft key for the Park
Mpp screen
NOTE: There are four Low Cuto options:
• <90% Voc—MX60 snoozes if Voc does not rise to greater than 90% of last measured Voc during a full sweep
• <50% Voc—snoozes if Voc does not rise to greater than 50% of last measured Voc during a full sweep
• <Lowcuto —default snooze mode, snoozes if initial sweep does not reach Low Cuto Amps during a full sweep
• Disabled—no snoozing, MX60 will cycle on and o many times (not recommended due to ongoing relay-clicking)
