Diversion Loads
Diversion control requires a separate “dump” load to regulate
the battery. This load must be able to absorb more power than
the charging source is able to produce at its peak output, or
the DC voltage will become unregulated. The dump load
must be available for the diversion of power at all times.
Resistive-type heating elements are the best diversion loads.
Special direct-current water heating elements are available.
Light bulbs and motors are not recommended as diversion
loads because they are unreliable. A diversion load that draws
about 25% more current than the charging source’s maximum
output capability is usually suitable for use with the C-Series
controller.
See Appendix C, “Diversion Loads” for additional
information on types of diversion loads.
See “Operating Mode Jumper” on page 20 for instructions on
enabling this mode.
