Mid-point Time-to-go?

I have installed BMV 712 with a 420 Ah house battery bank and a 55Ah starter/Aux battery. Everything appears okay except one read-out which I do not understand: looking at the display modes, when I come to the "Time-to-go" display I get the mid-point characters (as shown on p.5 of the manual, under 1.2 b), instead of getting any kind of number as shown on p. 8. What am I missing or not understanding?

Hello Selay, ( @Selah)


Can you sent a photo of this?

Can you check which firmware is in the unit?

best regards

Paging through the manual on p.8, it says that the results for "Time-to-go" would be the estimated remaining hours to reach the discharge floor. But look what it shows. This was done will the battery bank was in float at 100% charge.

This stands for INFINITE.

When this appears on BMV, there is more power going into the battery than out. So The Time To Go is infinite.

Excellent! The power of pictures!!
This question had me scratching my head for a long time. I never thought for a second that it could be saying INF.
