Press the <TIME> soft key to advance to the Time
screen which allows the user to adjust the minimum
time the AUX MODE is active after the battery volt-
age falls below the Hysteresis voltage.
Hold Time shows how long the AUX MODE stays
active after the battery voltage has fallen below the
HYST (Hysteresis) set point. The user can adjust the
Hold Time from 0.1 to 25 seconds. If a solid state relay
is used, set the Hold time to 0.1 seconds and the
Delay time to zero.
The Delay Time shows how long the battery voltage
must be above the Relative Volts before the AUX
MODE is activated. It can be adjusted from 0 to 24
seconds, but is rarely required. Pressing the <BACK>
soft key returns to the AUX MODE DIVERSION screen.
Example of Diversion
Each recharging state—Absorb, Float, or EQ—has a recharging voltage set point. The Diversion
AUX MODE can be active (On) when the battery voltage is raised above one of these set points
for a certain amount of time or inactive (O ) when it falls below. The user can determine these
voltages and times. In the example above, when the RE source (wind or hydro) raises the battery
voltage 00.2v above the chosen set point for a Delay time of 10 seconds—the AUX Output will be
active. When the battery voltage falls 00.3v below the HYST voltage set point for a Hold time of 15
sec – the AUX Output will be inactive (O ). See Figure 5 for Diversion Load and AUX Wiring Set-Up.
