Set the battery capacity
1. Press ESC. The Battery settings menu appears.
2.
Press Ñ to select Battery capacity.
3. Press SET. The Battery capacity dialogue appears (Fig.
left).
4. Press SET. The value flashes.
5.
Press D, Ñ to change the value.
6. Press SET. The value stops blinking.
NOTICE
Enter the specified nominal capacity of the battery here. This
value is required by functions such as the state of charge
calculation (SOC), IUIA charging and the capacity test. In a
master/slave system, enabling the Save setting
parameter
for the slave allows the battery capacity setting of the master
to be transferred to the slave.
Setting the charge parameters
WARNING!
Charging the battery with incorrect parameters can damage the battery. This can result in
conditions that are a danger to persons. Ensure that the correct charging parameters for the
selected battery type are used. Consult the battery manufacturer if necessary.
NOTICE!
Newly delivered
MPPT 6000-M and MPPT 6000-S devices are configured with the lead-acid
battery type. Always check the charge parameters.
– For the charge parameter settings applying to the lead-acid and lead-gel/AGM battery
types, see
Ä
Chapter 8.5 ‘Lead-acid battery system functions’ on page 62.
– For the charge parameter settings applying to the Li-Ion battery type, see
Ä
Chapter 8.6
‘Li-Ion battery system functions (MPPT 6000-M only)’ on page 74.
– For the charge parameter settings applying to the NiCd battery type, see
Ä
Chapter 8.7
‘NiCd battery system functions (MPPT 6000-M only)’ on page 77.
In a master/slave system, enabling the Save setting parameter for the slave allows the lead-
acid and lead-gel/AGM battery type settings of the master to be transferred to the slave. When
the slave has been configured with the Master mode operating mode then the slave is
controlled using the charge parameters configured in the master for all battery types.
