Configuring the temperature sensor
The end-of-charge voltage can be adjusted according to the
measured ambient temperature of the battery. If an external
temperature sensor is used then this must be activated in the
corresponding menu.
NOTICES
n The external temperature sensor is switched off in newly
delivered devices. The internal sensor is used.
n We recommend connecting and using the external
temperature sensor supplied with the device
(MPPT 6000-M
only).
n In a master/slave system the master device performs the
central temperature compensation and controls the slaves
accordingly if these are configured for master-controlled
operation.
n MPPT 6000-M: An external temperature sensor must be
installed and activated for the battery capacity test
function.
See
Ä
Chapter 8.5.11 ‘Battery temperature sensor’ on page 71
for information on activating the PA TS-S external temperature
sensor.
Setting the PV string connection
Newly delivered devices are configured for separate use of the
two module inputs "M1+/M1–" and "M2+/M2–". The PV string
connection parameter must be changed to "parallel" if both
module connections are wired in parallel.
1. Press ESC. The Battery settings menu appears.
2.
Press D, Ñ as required to select PV string connection (Fig.
left).
3. Press SET. The PV string connection dialogue appears
(Fig. left).
4.
Press D, Ñ to select parallel.
5. Press SET. The string connection is now changed to parallel
connection of the modules.
