It displays the battery voltage (V
BAT
), the charge
program currently selected (SEAL or FLOOD), the
day/night status detected by the PV module. The
load icon, if ON, indicates that the load is power
supplied.
button
It displays the current (I
PAN
) of the PV module. We
remember that the current delivered by the PV
module depends on its state of sun-lighting and on
battery charge status. With charged battery
(Vbatt>14,4V @12V or Vbatt>28,8V @24V) even
with a good lighting of the PV module, you have
low currents from PV module since the regulator
limits the current to avoid battery overcharge.

button
It displays the power in watt actually delivered by
the PV module.
button
It displays the counter of energy that is delivered
by the PV module in KWh. It is possible to reset
this measure pressing simultaneously the buttons
for 2 seconds.
button
It displays the charge current inside the battery
(I

).
button
It displays the battery temperature that is currently
measured by the temperature sensor connected
to WMARINE10.
button
It displays the current that is currently delivered to
the load; even if in this screen the load icon is on,
this does not mean that it is effectively power
supplied; in fact the load is controlled according to
the load management program that is currently
set.
button
It displays the power that is currently delivered to
the load in watt.
button
It displays the energy counter in KWh consumed
by the load. It is possible to reset this counter
pressing simultaneously the buttons
for 2
seconds.

System configuration
You can go to the configuration pages of
WMarine10 pressing simultaneously for at least 2
seconds the buttons
.
Charge program configuration page
It sets the charge voltage for the battery.
We recommend to set the SEAL program for
GEL or sealed batteries and the FLOOD
program for the charge of flooded lead acid
batteries. Charge voltages relating to each
one of the programs are indicated in the
following fig. 6/8 and must be chosen in
accordance with the battery manufacturer
indications.

Low Battery voltage configuration page
It sets the intervention voltage of Low battery
protection (load detachment in case of low
battery). When pressing the button
you
change the setting from 10.8V to 12.2V for
12V systems and from 21.6V to 24.4V for 24V
systems.

Voltage configuration page - Vday
WMARINE10 detects the day when the
voltage of PV module (V
PAN
) is > than V
DAY
threshold; it detects the night when V
PAN
is <
than V
NIGHT
threshold. In this page it is
possible to change V

Once modified the settings of WMarine10 these
become operative only after editing from the
configuration pages pressing simultaneously the
buttons
for at least 2 seconds.
