Auto ReStart (Advanced Menu)
This setting allows the user to choose between continuous maximum power point (MPP)
tracking, or occasional restarts of the sweeping process. A restart means the controller
abandons the existing maximum power point value it was using and “re-sweeps”, or begins
gathering new power point data. (See page 97 for more information on MPP tracking.)
Auto ReStart has three options available:
o
Mode 0
– Initial sweep only and then continuous MPP tracking.
Auto ReStart
is disabled.
The FLEXmax will continously track the maximum power point without starting over.
o
Mode 1
– Automatic re-sweep every 90 minutes if controller is in an MPPT mode (
MPPT Float
,
MPPT Bulk
, etc). This will not reset any counters, charging stages, or statistics.
o
Mode 2
– Automatic re-sweep every 90 minutes if controller is in any charging mode. This will not
reset any counters, charging stages, or statistics.
