Battery Temperature Compensation
The optional Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS)
automatically adjusts the charging process of the C-Series
controller. With the BTS installed, the C-Series will increase
or decrease the battery charging voltage depending on the
temperature of the battery to optimize the charge to the
battery and maintain optimal performance of the battery.
If not using the BTS, the voltage settings for charging will
need to be adjusted based on the temperature of the
environment around the batteries and on the type of batteries
being used.
See “Temperature Compensation” on page 33 for information
on how to set the voltage.
Manual or Auto Equalization Charge
The C-Series controller can be used to manually or
automatically provide the battery bank with an equalize
charge. Factory default setting is for MANUAL Equalization
charging. Be sure to be familiar with all the cautions and
warnings concerning equalization charging batteries or
damage to batteries can occur.
Load Control Mode
In the Load Control mode, the C-Series controls when to
remove a load or loads from the system when an
over-discharge or over-load situation occurs. The C-Series
controller uses the user-adjustable setpoints to determine
when to connect or reconnect loads depending on battery
voltage. A load controller prevents damage to the battery
from over-discharge during periods of poor weather or
excessive loads. The unit does not charge the batteries when
in this function.
