This is the Info i have so far :
Volts/Amps Out = Battery Volts/Amps (charging amps, not amps used)
Volts/Amps In = Solar Panel Volts/Amps
Peak W = Peak Solar Watts Produced Today
Odometer style meter = total kilowatt hours (all time) Add 2.1 kWh for actual total since system install (error induced by changing from 12v to 24v batt)
150 kWh will run a 52" LCD TV 5 hours a day for 150 days
MPPT = Maximum Power Point Tracking, optimal panel voltage under current solar conditions
With the MS-VIEW . really lost, plus the help is not helping either.
Posted on an old thread Here:
Well I'm into testing mode of the system BEFORE i hard weld / bolt it on to truck / camper.
Im up at the 55* lat wet coast testing the panels / controller / fridge all wired in temp mode , and sitting in a green house for over one month.
Fridge is keeping cold -3 is the lowest i've pushed it . The MS mppt every morning has a yellow medium light on the batteries(2 -lead acid large) ,till about 09:30 then its green.
Using the SC-View_SunSaverMppt interface with the serial to Mobus connector I see all the info right then and there.
Using the MS View , NA-DA for any real info , besides connecting and the getting involved in areas not safe YET {(Coil on/off Toggles) all instructions in microsnot legaleze , or so it seemed}..
The help file on the MS-View is ?? Not really helpful for me.
How do you get the MS-mppt unit to spit out is info into the MS-view program enough to see when the charging occurs, load requested , equ has been done ETC.
I bought the stuff so far to learn the basics from. The SC-view is great for a quick look at , but i would like to see more before I start adding lighting loads and then music / DVD (all the way up to welding .
I have not added the sure sine 300 to the package yet ,so far panels ,MS mppt controller ,2 battery's and the 12v DC fridge (1/2 full of water jugs) in a green house thats warm in the day and 5c coldest at night , plus very overcast in the month testing.
