Blue Sky Energy - Solar Boost 1524iX
SYMPTOM
PROBABLE CAUSE
ITEMS TO EXAMINE OR CORRECT
Networked units do not
seem to coordinate
action or slaves do not
turn on
IPN network address set wrong
Network wiring problem
One unit of a multi-unit network must be set to IPN network address 0 (zero), AND all other units
must be set to different addresses.
Confirm wiring correctly in place. Use IPN-ProRemote to view Charge Unit Status screens to
confirm communication.
Temperature related
functions do not work.
Temperature sensor not installed on master
Temperature sensor failed or installed
reverse polarity
Temperature sensor must be installed on the master in a multi-controller system. Temperature
sensor inputs on slaves are disabled.
If sensor is open, short, reverse polarity or missing system will operate as if sensor was at 25
°
C.
Sensor temperature can be read directly on the IPN-ProRemote. Sensor voltage when connected
reads 2.98V at 25
°
C, changing at +10mV/
°
C.
