Fast Blinking Orange

When the over-current or over-temperature protection system
has caused the controller to shutdown, the status LED will be
orange and will blink fast (about once a second).

Low-voltage Disconnect Condition

If voltage remains below the LVD setting, the unit will
disconnect after a 6-minute “delay” (or “grace”) period. To
reset and reconnect for another “grace” period
(approximately 6 minutes), press and release the reset switch.

The user can press the reset switch for a maximum 10-minute
“grace” period, or can wait until the voltage rises above the
Low Voltage Reconnect (LVR) setting to allow an automatic
reset to occur if the EQ/LVR (Auto) jumper is set to
“AUTO”.

Slow Blinking Orange

When the disconnect/reconnect system has been activated,
the LED will slowly blink orange. The controller is in the DC
Load Control mode and has disconnected the loads due to
reaching the LVD setting.

Reconnecting to Loads

To reconnect the loads, press the reset button on the right side
of the unit. If the voltage is below the LVR level, the DC load
can be reconnected for approximately 6 minutes.

A delay up to five seconds may occur before the controller
attempts to restart after pressing the reset switch.

Multiple reconnects are allowed, but the “on” time duration
will vary with battery voltage. The EQUALIZE jumper
allows the controller to be set for AUTO reconnect of the DC
load when the voltage exceeds the LVR setting.
