Setting Voltage Parameters Diversion Control Mode

When the C-Series controller is configured for Diversion Control mode, you can set the voltage at which the unit begins diverting current to a diversion load (high voltage diversion). Use the Charge Control scale for setting this value.

See Figure 2-10 on page 23 for Charge Control scale settings.

The unit will continue diverting excess current to the diversion load until the source voltage falls to or below the BULK setting. After one hour at the BULK setting, the unit will reduce the battery charging voltage to the FLOAT voltage setting. This will usually result in more current being diverted to the diversion load.

Setting Voltage Parameters for Alkaline Batteries

If using NiCad or NiFe batteries, the required charging voltages may be higher than the designed settings of the C-Series controller. Charging voltages can be augmented a little, if required. This can be accomplished by clipping the wire connecting the R46 Resistor to the circuit board. This augmentation will raise the designed charge parameters by

2volts for 12-volt systems, 4 volts for 24-volt systems and

8volts for 48-volt systems.

See Figure 2-14for the augmented voltage settings.

If using NiCad batteries, clip this wire here. Do NOT remove the R46 Resistor.
