Battery and PV Voltage

¾

Nominal battery and PV voltage are determined automatically. The battery is considered to be 12V if battery voltage when first

connected is less than 16V, or 24V if battery voltage is greater. PV voltage is also determined automatically. If nominal PV
voltage is changed following installation power must be momentarily removed to reboot the 3024.


Charge Voltage, Float Voltage & Charge Time

Acceptance Charge Voltage, Float Charge Voltage and Charge Time setpoints can be viewed or changed using the parameter setup LED’s and DIP switch

shown in Figure 3. Operate only one switch at a time. To view the present setting turn the appropriate DIP switch ON momentarily ( V

CHG

#8, V

FLOT

#6 or T

CHG

#7).

For a 24V battery the actual voltage setpoints are doubled.

To change a setting, turn the appropriate DIP switch ON, OFF, and then back ON before the LED’s turn OFF. The 3024 will enter setup mode and scan

through available settings. Turn the DIP switch off at the desired setting to store the new value. If Float Charge Voltage is set to “No Float” the 3024 operates as a
two stage charger, will not switch to Float, and will not display Charge Time on the setup LED’s.
