Diversion Control Troubleshooting
The following table lists possible problems that may arise
when using the C-Series Multifunction DC Controller as a
Diversion Controller.
Table 4-2
Diversion Control Problems
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Status LED Blinks
Orange after switching
on diversion load
breaker or when
diversion begins (Bulk
or Float settings
reached).
Diversion load draws
too much current
(above controller
rating).
Measure the current the
diversion load draws when
battery voltage is applied
across it.
Note: A diversion load
with an acceptable “hot”
current may have an
excessively high inrush
current that can cause the
controller to overcurrent.
Caution: Do not test
without a circuit breaker in
circuit.
Battery voltage is
exceeding Bulk or Float
settings.
A. BTS is
compensating charging
voltages based on
battery temperature.
B. Diversion load is
too small for output of
charging source(s).
A. Nothing - Intended
operation. See
“Temperature
Compensation” on
page 33.
B. Measure the current the
diversion load draws when
battery voltage is applied
across it. Caution: Do not
test without a circuit
breaker in circuit.
A larger diversion load or
additional controller each
with their own diversion
loads may be necessary.
