[RE-wrenches] Fwd: Apollo Charge Controller

[Howie Michaelson]

For anyone interested, I did get through to Bill Todd at Apollo in regards
to the MPPT state flashing on the display.of the T80 controller.  Turns out
whenever MPPT is displayed, it will be flashing.  Not clear on the reason
for the choice to make it flash, but it doesn't mean anything except that
it is putting out optimal power.

Wrenches,

Does anyone know whether a flashing state of "Bulk MPPT" on an Apollo T80
Charge controller means something other than the first stage of the absorb
cycle?  This is on a DC coupled Net Metered system installed by another
company which is long since out of business.  I've looked all through the
manual and cannot find any reference to the State in flashing mode.  In
fact, it does not even list any State value having "MPPT" in the value...

TIA,
Howie
