During cold weather, a battery often requires a higher
recharging voltage. Lower quality inverters might not
accommodate these higher voltages and can shut down
during recharging, cutting o power to their loads. The
Charge Controller allows the user to lower the compen-
sated voltage in the Absorb cycle so these inverters will
remain operating. Also, some batteries have an abso-
lute voltage limit that should not be exceeded and the
WIDE/LMIT option allows the user to control this during
recharging. WIDE allows the RTS full control over recharg-
ing; LIMIT sets the ceiling and  oor voltages for the RTS.
During hot weather, the LIMIT feature set point assures
recharging will continue at a high enough voltage rather
than dropping too low in reaction to a higher ambient
temperature. This assures the recharging voltage ad-
equately charges, but should be monitored according to
the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
The RTS default compensated voltages apply if the WIDE/
LIMIT option is set to WIDE. To change these values, press
the <WIDE> soft key to bring up the next screen which
allows user-determined limits. Press the <SET> soft key
to adjust these values.

EXIT NEXT - +
A quality calibrated voltmeter will provide even more
accurate Charge Controller battery readings if an undesir-
able voltage drop occurs. When measuring battery volt-
age, ensure a good connection is made to the four wire
lugs. Check the battery temperature compensation volt-
ages if the voltages are much di erent than you expect
from the charger setup Absorb and Float voltage settings.
Use the <-> and <+> soft keys to match the readings
from the voltmeter (use of appropriate wire gauge
will minimize voltage drop). When  nished, press the
<NEXT> soft key to view the RTS Compensation screen.
