I put too large of a load (one too many 12v light bulbs) coming out of my Steca Solarix MPPT 1010. This caused the controller to stop temporarily and then restart when the load was reduced. I made the same mistake a second time, but this time the controller does not revert to running any load.
The info LED illuminates green, which is supposed to indicate normal operation. The yellow display led flashes, which is supposed to indicate that the “switch-on threshold after deep-discharge deactivation has not yet been reached.”
Is this really an issue with the switch-on threshold and deep-discharge, or might I have done something worse to the charge controller? I've been waiting for some time and it does not seem to return to normal.
I have also followed the instructions for resetting the charge controller (full disconnect from load, modules and battery and reconnect in opposite order).
The battery seems to be working fine (AGM), the inverter is running other electrics and indicates 12.1 on the panel.
What do you guys and gals think? Am I missing a troubleshooting step with the controller, do I need to wait longer or should I take the controller in?
