LED MODE:
Located under the MISC menu, the LED mode can be set to several different modes, some useful and
some just for fun.
NRML: this mode will employ all the available LEDs as indicators, The top 3 LEDs refer to the Battery
Capacity Meter function on The KID that indicates to the user the current battery status at a glance .
The FLT LED will come on when the unit goes to Float. It will blink Slowly when the unit goes to Float
MPPT. This mode will also use the Warning (OVR) LED to indicate when there is an anomaly on the
unit, such as Over Voltage or Current Limit. The ERR LED is also active to indicate Faults on the
system. The CLP LED will come on when the Load is active and it will blink to indicate a warning on the
load circuit.
BCM: The BCM function on the LEDs will only employ the top 3 BCM LEDs and the OVR and ERR
LEDs.
RICK: this mode is also known as minimal LED usage, since it will only use the Warning and Error
LEDs.
PLAY: this mode is great for special occasions where you want to Show off your KID’s fun side, it will
trail the LEDs from top to bottom as long as this mode is selected.
TEST: Useful to verify that all the LEDs are functioning.
OFF: will keep the LEDs OFF, except for the ERROR LED.
