Pressing and holding the #4 soft key for several

The MX60’s sunrise-related activity can be in uenced. During certain days of the year, the sun never
“sets” in parts of Alaska, for instance, and the PV output is constant. The MX60 responds to these
situations by generating its own sunrise reading at either 24 or 25 hours with 25 hours being the
default value. After this 24 or 25 hour period, the MX60 automatically initiates a BULK cycle and logs the
daily KiloWattHour / AmpHour statistics and Float Time to be logged and accumulated in the Logging
screen. Pressing down and holding the third soft key, then releasing and pressing and holding again
for a few seconds, will toggle the value between 24 and 25 hours. Mini-sweeps at the selected sweep
interval will initiate on time in either of these modes. Press the <NEXT> soft key to view the secondary
Log2 screen.
After 3 hours of sleeping, the MX60 displays Zzzz…. This means that the next wakeup will cause the
daily KiloWattHour / AmpHour statistics and Float Time to be logged and accumulated in the Logging
screen. This (the next wakeup) will also initiate a Bulk charge cycle.
