4.0 OPERATION
LVD Warning
As the battery discharges the
Battery Status
LEDs will
transition from green to yellow and then from yellow to
flashing red. The flashing red indication is a warning that a
low voltage disconnect event will occur soon. The amount of
time between a green SOC indication and load disconnect
will depend on many factors including:
•
rate of discharge (amount of load draw)
•
capacity of the battery
•
health of the battery
•
LVD setpoint
If the battery discharges to the LVD setpoint the load will
disconnect and a solid red Battery Status LED indication
will be displayed.
General Load Control Notes
•
A 15 V maximum regulation voltage limit (30 V @ 24 V
nominal) exists for all battery types. This limit ensures
that the battery and load terminal voltages will never
exceed 15 V/30 V. This protects certain DC loads that
may be damaged by high input voltage.
•
Do not wire multiple SunSaver MPPT load outputs
together in parallel to power DC loads with a current
draw greater than 15A. Equal current sharing cannot
be guaranteed and an over-load condition will likely
occur on one or more controllers.
•
Exercise caution when connecting loads with specific
polarity to a live load circuit. A reverse polarity connec-
tion may damage the load. Always double check load
connections before applying power.
