EXIT NEXT MODE

Press the <NEXT> soft key to view the Auto Restart screen.

Pressing the fourth soft key selects among the three FLEXmax 80 Auto ReStart modes: 0 (default), 1, and 2. Auto ReStart allows the FLEXmax 80 to perform internal recalibrations.

•Mode 0— Auto ReStart mode is disabled; the FLEXmax 80 recharges continuously from an available source and never Restarts. Mode 0 would be chosen to avoid spinning a microhydro generator every 1.5 hours.

•Mode 1—once every 1.5 hours, when the FLEXmax 80 is in Bulk, it will briefly Restart and initiate a full panel tracking. This will not reset any counters or charging stages or statistics.

•Mode 2— Auto ReStart every 1.5 hours; in Bulk, Absorb, and Float modes, it will briefly Restart and initiate a full panel tracking. This will not reset any counters or charging stages or statistics.
