Can anyone refresh my memory on what the different lights indicate on a Truma Solar Controller.  In particular Solid Green and a Regular Flashing (not fast paced) Green.

very much like my controller....

solid green means, battery almost fully charged

flashing green means battery fully charged.

LED flashes in longer intervals Check connections from the device to the battery and solar module, ensure that they are connected to the right terminals. Test the fuse, solar module and the battery.

LED flashes Battery is fully charged.

LED shines. The battery is being charged.

LED flashes in short intervals The battery is not being charged. If necessary, replace faulty battery.

LED does not shine Battery not connected or over-voltage

Thanks chaps.  

Went down to the storage site yeterday about 3pm and it was solid green.  Had a mental block on what that meant.  I'm normally used to seeing it flash but of course that's when we are in it on site and plugged into 240V.

mine has three lights and the one on the left tells you that the panel is receiving light and charging.

the other two are the charge state of the leisure batteries and vehicle battery (which, I guess, you dont have being a caravan)
