Wakeup Mode selects how often the FLEXmax 80 does a “Wakeup” during “Snoozing” periods. Since environmental conditions impact the open circuit voltage (Voc) of an array, a user selectable Voc rise in value will allow the controller to “wakeup” sooner or later based on the last measured Voc value. A selectable delay time in minutes will also allow the controller to “Wakeup” sooner or later if the measured Voc did not meet the user selectable Voc rise in value. Before changing these values, monitor your system for a week or so using the factory defaults and then gradually adjust the set points. If they’re set too high, the FLEXmax 80 might not wake up soon or often enough, which means a loss of power production. Note: +VOC ranges from 1.5V up to 9.5V. +MIN ranges from 5 up to 15 minutes. Press the <NEXT> soft key to go to the MPPT Mode screen.

This screen allows the user to choose one of these modes:

•Auto Track MPPT Mode (the default and preferred mode) automatically tracks the PV upon wakeup and then tracks the MPP of the array. If the Auto Restart is set to 1 or 2, the FLEXmax 80 awakes every 1.5 hours and does an initial tracking.

•U-Pick % (Voc) MPPT mode operates the PV voltage at a user-selected percentage of the Voc. This percentage is displayed in the Park Mpp % Voc screen along with the current output wattage. The wattage value changes as the user adjusts the Voc percentage, allowing the user to lock-in the most advantageous percentage value.

U-Pick % acquires a new VOC value every 1.5 hours if Auto Restart is set to 1 or 2.

Press the <MODE> soft key to choose an MPPT mode and the <nonGT> soft key if you have an OutBack G-series inverter system with a HUB and MATE.

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