4.2.3.  Module current
Displays the actual produced solar module‘s 
current output.
4.2.4.  Charging current
Displays the charging current flowing into 
battery from the solar module.
4.2.5. Load current
Displays the current drawn by the load 
output.
4.2.6.  Ah – Battery charging meter
Displays the accumulative sum of recharged 
Ah since the initial installation or reset. Press 
both buttons for 3 seconds to reset the meter 
to 0. Ever when the battery is disconnected 
the value remains. When 99.9 KAh are rea-
ched, it will switch back to 0 Ah.
4.2.7.  Ah – Battery discharging meter
Displays the accumulative sum of Ah drawn 
by load since the initial installation or reset. 
Press both buttons for 3 seconds to reset the 
meter to 0. When 99.9 KAh are reached, it 
will switch back to 0 Ah.
4.2.8.  Warning deep discharge protection
As an early warning, the SOC bar or the 
voltage value flashes. The face still looks 
friendly! 
4.2.9.  Load disconnection
If the deep discharging protection has been 
activated the SOC bar or the voltage value 
flashes. The face looks sad until the reconnec-
tion setpoint is reached.
5.  Function Overview
This charging regulator has basic functions for specifying the charging state 
(SOC), charging specification and deep discharge protection that are descri-
bed in the following section. Additional functions that can be activated such 
as the settings, night light function, auto-test, presetting and serial number 
query are explained under the corresponding menu items in chapter 6.
5.1. SOC Calculation
During operation, the regulator monitors various parameters (U; I) of the 
battery and from that calculates the battery’s charge level (SOC = state of 
charge). The charge level is the energy level still available in the battery. Mo-
difications in the system, e.g. the battery’s aging process are automatically 
taken into consideration by the system’s continuous learning process.
