EXIT NEXT	-% +%

As the user changes the %Voc value using the <-%>and <+%> soft keys, the displayed Watts value also changes.

Watts appears when U-Pick is selected.

Press the <NEXT> soft key to view the Park Mpp screen.

U-Pick % (Voc) MPPT mode operates the PV voltage at a user-selected percentage of the VOC which is displayed in the Park Mpp % Voc screen. Press the <NEXT> soft key

to view the Mpp Range Limit % screen.

The Mpp Range Limit % Voc adjusts the upper Mpp limit of the VOC. The default FLEXmax 80 MPP voltage limit is set at 90% of the VOC and is normally left alone for an array.

Setting min to 1/2 reduces the initial tracking time on a high input voltage array and also tracks one-half the VOC voltage.

The MPP adjustable FLEXmax 80 limits are 80%, 85%, 90%, and 99% of the VOC. The min range limit setting may be set to FULL if something other than a PV array is connected to the input of the FLEXmax 80, such as a micro-hydro generator (see page 57), but the VOC cannot exceed 150 VDC at any time. Press the <min> or <max> soft key to adjust the MPP range limit. When done, press the <NEXT> soft key to view the Absorb Time screen.
