Table 2 Aux Mode Functions
Mode Name Function/Purpose Set Points Aux Polarity
Error Output
Function:
When the voltage decreases below the threshold
voltage for 10 minutes or more, the AUX output will
change state.
Purpose:
This mode is useful for monitoring remote sites.
It is intended to signal when the charge controller
has not charged the batteries for 26 hours or more
or if the battery voltage has fallen below the
threshold voltage for more than 10 minutes.
When set as Active Low, it can activate an alarm
by sending a signal through a modem to a
computer to alert the operator of the problem.
 Threshold
Voltage
Not Available
Night Light
Function:
When the voltage drops below the threshold
voltage set point for the amount of time set in the
Hysteresis time, the A
UX output changes states
and remains in that state for the amount of time
set for the ON time.
Purpose:
This mode is intended to illuminate a
user-provided, low wattage light for as long as
the charge controller remains in Sleep mode or
for the ON time set by the user.

Active High: Activates
for a set amount of time
when the voltage drops
below the threshold for a
set amount of time.
Active Low: Deactivates
for a set amount of time
when the voltage drops
below the threshold for a
set amount of time.
Float
Function:
When the FLEXmax is in the Float stage, the
output activates to power a load.
Purpose:
This mode is intended to power a load when the
FLEXmax is in the Float stage of charging the
batteries.
None Not Available
Diversion:
Relay
Function:
When the battery voltage exceeds the threshold
voltage, the A
UX output changes state. Often
used with wind or hydroelectric sources.
Purpose:
This mode is intended to divert power from the
batteries to prevent overcharging by activating
a diversion load at the appropriate time.
 Threshold
Voltage
 Time
Active High: Controls an
auxiliary load to divert
power away from the
batteries when a wind or
hydroelectric turbine is
connected directly to the
batteries.
Active Low: Deactivates
an auxiliary load to stop
diverting from batteries.
Diversion:
Solid St
Function:
When the battery voltage exceeds the threshold
voltage, the A
UX output goes into pulse-width
modulation at a rate of 200 Hz. Often used with
wind or hydroelectric sources.
Purpose:
This mode is intended to divert power from the
batteries to prevent overcharging by operating
a diversion load at the appropriate PWM level.
Recommended for use with a solid-state relay
for fast and precise load control.
