Status Screen
Turn the PV input circuit breaker ON. The FLEXmax automatically detects
the PV input voltage.
The FLEXmax enters Wakeup, transitions to Tracking, and prepares to
charge the batteries by tracking the maximum power point of the PV array.
During the initial tracking, the input PV source is gradually loaded from the
open-circuit voltage (V
oc
) to ½ of the V
oc
. Within this range, the FLEXmax
seeks the maximum power point.
When the FLEXmax goes into Re-Cal, Auto Restart, or Wakeup, modes,
among other conditions, it performs an initial tracking.
