Mpp Range Limit % (Auto Track Mode only)
The Charge Controller searches for the MPP voltage by tracking the input voltage up to one half
(default) of the Voc, which is based on values appropriate for a solar array. Micro-hydro and fuel cell
systems can require a broader range, normally on the lower end. Adjusting the lower limit, expressed
as 1/2 on the display screen, for FULL allows the Charge Controller to track the input voltage close to
the battery voltage instead of 1/2 (or 50%) of the Voc.
This adjustment only a ects the initial tracking at the beginning of the day and any subsequent trackings
caused by Auto-Restart or any forced restart of the Charge Controller.
To adjust the Lower Mpp Range Limit:
From the MAIN Menu, with the arrow in front of
Advanced, press the <GO> soft key.
In the ADVANCED MENU screen, press the <NEXT> soft
key until the Mpp Range Limit % Voc screen appears. Press
the <1/2> soft key until FULL appears. When nished,
press the <NEXT> soft key until the MPPT Mode screen
appears.
To pick between Auto Track or U-Pick % MPPT Mode
and determine the Charge Controller’s operating Voc
percentage, press the <MODE> soft key to interchange
between the two modes. Re-entering the password
might be required. After choosing a mode, press the
<NEXT> soft key in the ADVANCED MENU to view the
Park Mpp screen (only applicable for U-Pick mode).
Press the <-VOC> or <+VOC> soft key to select one of
the percentage values; U-Pick always uses the Park Mpp
value.
