5.4.3Example

5.4.3.1 Auxiliary Contact as generator starter

When in the programming of the Auxiliary Contact, the Battery Capacity (LED 15-18) is used as a condition, then you must take note of the following requirements.

If you have to start an emergency back-up supply with a battery having a certain residual capacity, then two battery levels must be programmed. The first (i.e. Battery 25% LED 17) for the starting or activating the Auxiliary Contact and the second (i.e. Battery 100% LED15) for stopping or deactivating the Auxiliary Contact. By programming like this the Auxiliary Contact works with the lowest set condition and stops when it has reached the highest programmed condition through charging.

5.4.3.2 Auxiliary Contact as Twilight Switch (With solar charger option)

The Auxiliary Contact of the COMPACT can also be used as a twilight switch , i.e. for operating automatically the exterior lighting. With it the connected solar modules measure the light intensity. If the COMPACT is operating without solar modules and a twilight-switching function is desired, you can connect small solar cells with the nominal voltage of the COMPACT on to the SOLAR terminals for the purpose of measuring the light intensity. To function as a twilight-switch the Auxiliary Contact must be programmed so that the condition SOLAR CHARGE (LED 3) is active. Programming must be carried out in steps and in accordance with the description for the programming of the Auxiliary Contact.
