25 codesLED indicator showing 1 green blink — battery is more than 0.75V below Absorption Voltage setting for 12V systems (or >1.5V below for 24V systems).
LED indicator showing 2 green blinks — battery voltage is 0.75V below Absorption Voltage setting for 12V systems (or 1.5V below for 24V systems).
LED indicator showing 3 green blinks — battery voltage is 0.5V below Absorption Voltage setting for 12V systems (or 1.0V below for 24V systems).
LED indicator showing 4 green blinks — battery voltage is 0.25V below Absorption Voltage setting for 12V systems (or 0.5V below for 24V systems).
LED indicator showing 5 green blinks — battery voltage has reached the Absorption Voltage setting.
Unit microcontroller halted from a steep battery voltage drop.
LED indicator showing blinking red — Over Temperature fault condition detected.
Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) display showing '- - - °C' — battery electrolyte temperature is below 0°C (32°F).
DC-Load port timers for automatic On/Off are disabled. It can operate only manually.
DC-Load port timers for automatic On/Off are enabled. It can operate manually as well.
Link Master Error / Display Panel Error — the microcontroller cannot exchange data with the LCD display panel.
DC/DC Low Voltage alarm — the battery voltage has fallen below the minimum operating threshold.
Heat Sink SR Open / Low Operating Temperature alarm — the operating temperature has fallen below 0°C (32°F).
Battery is connected with the polarity reversed.
Solar panel input current is higher than 30A.
DC-Load port is drawing more than 30A of current.
Unit has Over Temperature Shutdown.
A DC-Load Disconnect occurred because the battery voltage dropped to setting threshold.
DC-Load is forced OFF (due to E05) and will turn back ON if battery voltage recovers or manually reset the controller by disconnecting/reconnecting terminal 3 briefly.
Internal Over Temperature Shutdown. Unit will auto-recover after cooling down.
Over Current alarm — the charging current exceeds 45 A, exceeding the controller's maximum current rating.
Over Temperature alarm — the controller's heat sink temperature has exceeded 90°C (194°F).
LED indicator showing solid green — battery is in Float charging stage.
LED indicator showing solid orange — battery is in Equalization charging stage.
LED indicator showing solid red — fault condition detected: Over current, low DC voltage, or operating temperature below 0°C.
