With DIP switch 1 ON (up), a dusk-dawn lighting program
is enabled, if lighting timing hasn't been programmed in
MSView or using the meter; with DIP 1, 4, 5, 6 ON, and the
unit programmed, custom timing will be in effect. With DIP
1 OFF (down), all lighting control functions are disabled.
Using either MSView or the meter display, four channels
are available for setting timers that can work separately, or
in combination. See Section 4.7.6 - Lighting Programming
Using Meter Display - for more details.
4.7.6 Lighting Programming Using the Meter Display
Lighting programming capabilities are accessible with the
meter via Custom Programming->Load Control->Lighting.
Lighting settings editing is done via on-screen instructions.
• The Summary provides a graphical representation of the
complete lighting configuration
• LVD / LVR can be specified for use when a lighting
program is in operation
• Sunrise and Sunset Threshold settings allow the adjust-
ment of percentages of the maximum seen solar array
voltage for triggering day and night events
• There are four channels, each having two timers, which
can be used independently, or in combination.
• Events and actions are used as references and controls.
An event is one of eight points in a day e.g. sunrise or
midnight. Each event can be edited to specify a time
offset to trigger an action, which can be, "Do Nothing",
"Lights On", or "Lights Off"
• The combination setting of each channel will specify
whether the actions and events of each timer will function:
not at all (no combination); when both timers' settings
match (AND); for either timers' settings (OR)
4.8 Inspection and Maintenance
Table 4-6 below lists the recommended maintenance
schedule to keep your ProStar MPPT performing optimally.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
NO POWER OR ACCESSORY TERMINALS ARE ELEC-
TRICALLY ISOLATED FROM DC INPUT, AND MAY BE ENER-
GIZED WITH HAZARDOUS SOLAR VOLTAGE. UNDER CERTAIN
FAULT CONDITIONS, BATTERY COULD BECOME OVER-
CHARGED. TEST BETWEEN ALL TERMINALS AND GROUND
BEFORE TOUCHING.
AVERTISSEMENT:
RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLETRIQUE.
NON ALIMENTATION OU AUX BORNES
D'ACCESSOIRES SONT ISOLÉS ÉLECTRIQUEMENT DE
L'ENTRÉE DE C.C ET DOIT ÊTRE ALIMENTÉS À UNE TENSION
DANGEREUSE SOLAIRE. SOUS CERTAINES CONDITIONS DE
DÉFAILLANCE, LA BATTERIE POURRAIT DEVENIR TROP CHAR-
GÉE. TEST ENTRE TOUTES LES BORNES ET LA MASSE AVANT
DE TOUCHER.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Disconnect all power sources to the controller before
removing the wiring box cover. Never remove the cover when
voltage exists on the ProStar MPPT power connections.
AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de décharge électrique
Déconnecter toutes les sources d'alimentation pour le
contrôleur avant d'enlever le couvercle de boîte de connexion.
N'enlevez jamais le couvercle lorsque tension existe sur les
connexions d'alimentation ProStar MPPT.
