The charge parameters depends on the FNDC settings, so yes, it comes from the FNDC but is triggered by the combination of the Mate or Mate3, again depending on the FNDC Settings: There are three "And/Or" Statements. So, to meet charge parameters, you must satisfy the following.
Statement 1 End Amps And Para Met Voltage And Para Met Time If these are met, and there is a 60-second discharge, the Mate shows that the parameters were met and resets the SOC to 100% 60 seconds in the past... BCF% If set to, say, 95%, When you remove 100 amps and charge back 105 Amps. If this is met, and there is a 60-second discharge, the Mate shows that the parameters were met and resets the SOC to 100% 60 seconds in the past... Absorb Timer Met If the charge controllers or inverter meet the absorb timers as programmed, and there is a 60-second discharge, the Mate shows that the parameters were met and resets the SOC to 100% 60 seconds in the past... I don't know why it displays a flashing LED. That is beyond my knowledge; I have never seen this, but it might be related to its setup or operation mode. As for Lones, he retired (6 Months +) quite some time ago. I don't know who is now in charge of the wrenches list at Outback. With the recent Outback developments, I'd be surprised if they have a tech even looking at these emails. <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> <http://www.rollsbattery.com> Steve Higgins ⋅ Technical Services Manager t +1.902.597.4020 m +1.206.790.5840 f +1.902.597.8447 e st...@surrette.com <http://www.facebook.com/RollsBattery> <https://www.youtube.com/user/RollsBattery> <https://www.youtube.com/RollsBatteryEngineering> <https://www.youtube.com/RollsBatteryEngineering> <https://www.youtube.com/RollsBatteryEngineering> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/rolls-battery-engineering> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/rolls-battery-engineering> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/rolls-battery-engineering> <http://www.instagram.com/RollsBattery> <http://www.instagram.com/RollsBattery> ------------------------------ CONFIDENTIALITY: The information transmitted herein is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential, proprietary and/or privileged material.
