Pressing and holding the #4 soft key for several seconds selects among the three MX60 Auto ReStart modes: 0, 1, and 2 (default). Auto ReStart allows the MX60 to perform internal recalibrations and eliminate any possibility of software errors. To change the mode, release the #4 soft key and press and hold again.

•Mode 0— Auto ReStart mode is disabled; the MX60 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 MX60 is in Bulk, it will briefl y Restart and initiate a full panel sweep. 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 briefl y Restart and initiate a full panel sweep. This will not reset any counters or charging stages or statistics.

The MX60’s sunrise-related activity can be infl uenced. During certain days of the year, the sun never “sets” in parts of Alaska, for instance, and the PV output is constant. The MX60 responds to these situations by generating its own sunrise reading at either 24 or 25 hours with 25 hours being the default value. After this 24 or 25 hour period, the MX60 automatically initiates a BULK cycle and logs the daily KiloWattHour / AmpHour statistics and Float Time to be logged and accumulated in the Logging screen. Pressing down and holding the third soft key, then releasing and pressing and holding again for a few seconds, will toggle the value between 24 and 25 hours. Mini-sweeps at the selected sweep interval will initiate on time in either of these modes. Press the <NEXT> soft key to view the secondary Log2 screen.

After 3 hours of sleeping, the MX60 displays “Zzzz….”This means that the next wakeup will cause

the daily KiloWattHour / AmpHour statistics and Float Time to be logged and accumulated in the Logging screen. This (the next wakeup) will also initiate a Bulk charge cycle.
