8.5.11 Battery temperature sensor
NOTICE!
– Observe the notices on connecting the external temperature sensor in
Ä
Chapter 6.4 ‘PA
TS-S external temperature sensor connection’ on page 43.
– The MPPT 6000-M/MPPT 6000-S devices have a function allowing automatic temperature
compensation of the end-of-charge voltage used for charging.
– The device must measure the ambient temperature of the battery in order to use this
function. The internal temperature sensor can be used if the battery and device are in the
same temperature area. An external temperature sensor must be used if the battery and
device are in different temperature areas.
– We recommend always using the external temperature sensor because this provides more
accurate temperature measurements.
– The external temperature sensor must be correctly connected if it is selected as the source.
Otherwise an Error event message is generated.
Battery temperature sensor
✔
‘Main menu è Battery settings è Bat. temperature sensor
’
1. Press SET. The Bat. temperature sensor dialogue appears
(Fig. left).
2.
Press D, Ñ to change the selection.
3. Press SET. The selection stops blinking and is adopted.
8.5.12 Cable compensation
For the cable compensation settings, see
Ä
Chapter 5 ‘Initial commissioning of the base
system’ on page 33.
8.5.13 PV string connection
NOTICE!
– Observe the technical data of the device when designing and connecting the PV string
inputs.
– The device is capable of performing separate power control and MPP tracking for each PV
string input. This requires both PV string inputs to be electrically isolated from each other.
Separate use of the strings is recommended.
– The ‘separated’ setting must be selected for separate inputs, otherwise the power yield
for battery charging is reduced. The default setting is ‘separated’ .
– If a suitable division of the PV generator across the two PV strings is not possible then
parallel connection can be used.
– In addition to the necessary changes in the menu, this also requires the "M1–"/"M2–" and
"M1+"/"M2+" connections to be electrically wired in parallel (bridged).
