Outback Power Systems FLEXmax 60 User Manual

47
Wakeup Mode selects how often the Charge Controller
does a “Wakeup” during “Snoozing” periods. Since
environmental conditions impact the open circuit
voltage (Voc) of an array, a user selectable Voc rise in
value will allow the controller to “wakeup” sooner or later
based on the last measured Voc value. A selectable delay
time in minutes will also allow the controller to “Wakeup”
sooner or later if the measured Voc did not meet the
user selectable Voc rise in value. Before changing these
values, monitor your system for a week or so using the
factory defaults and then gradually adjust the set points.
If they’re set too high, the Charge Controller might not
wake up soon or often enough, which means a loss of
power production. Note: +VOC ranges from 1.5V up to
9.5V. +MIN ranges from 5 up to 15 minutes. Press the
<NEXT> soft key to go to the MPPT Mode screen.
This screen allows the user to choose one of these
modes:
• Auto Track MPPT Mode (the default and preferred
mode) automatically tracks the PV upon wakeup and
then tracks the MPP of the array. If the Auto Restart is
set to 1 or 2, the Charge Controller awakes every 1.5
hours and does an initial tracking.
• U-Pick % (Voc) MPPT mode operates the PV voltage at a
user-selected percentage of the Voc. This percentage is
displayed in the Park Mpp % Voc screen along with the
current output wattage. The wattage value changes as
the user adjusts the Voc percentage, allowing the user
to lock-in the most advantageous percentage value.
U-Pick % acquires a new VOC value every 1.5 hours if
Auto Restart is set to 1 or 2.
Press the <MODE> soft key to choose an MPPT mode. If
you have an OutBack G-series inverter system with a HUB
and MATE, press the <nonGT> soft key to activate the
charge controller’s grid-tie mode.
Press the <NEXT> soft key to view the Park Mpp screen.
