Rick here are the results:
#1: No effect at all
#2&3: I disconnected both the large battery
cables and the sensing leads that connect to VB1,2,3 on the terminal strip. VB1 is my house bank to which all
charging sources are connected. When I re-connected VB1, the solenoids closed and the green 'Connected' lights, both local and remote, came on briefly, then faded out. The solenoids released shortly thereafter.
Exactly the same behavior happens when I remove the system negative lead from the terminal strip - as suggested in the manual to reset the unit.
#4: No effect.
I connected a fused jumper from VB1 to the Coil / purple lead on the terminal strip and the solenoids closed. The green 'Connected' light on the remote and local
panels lit. When I disconnect my jumper, the Connected light goes out, but after 15 seconds or so. A few minutes after that I hear the solenoids kick out.
So - what do you think I have here?
