Title: Reset of KWhr and Ahr
Post by: Kent3 on September 02, 2022, 03:32:56 PM
Hi, it's  been 4-5 years since I have
been on the forum. I have noticed that the KW and Ahr
Totals have not been resetting.  Is there a parameter
That I need to set. Thank you for any help.

I looked in the kid manual online - hopefully the most recent one.
It says
Data Menu:
Displays 31 days of saved data. After 31 days, stored memories are overwritten leaving the last 31
days. Recorded data includes Max Battery Voltage, Min Battery Voltage, KWH produced, Max Watts,
and Max Batt Temp

So if it is not resetting every month not sure what to try except maybe resetting the whole controller to default.
But then you would need to make sure you put back in all your settings that you have now.

Thanks for the information Larry. I checked the software version on Kid #1 and it's 1864. Kid #1 resets every night like the Kid manual says.

" This fith status screen is showing daily power produced in Kilowatt hours and Amphours." Page 23. 10-268-1 Rev E
Is there a button on this screen to see each day so far what the values are ?

Kid #2 has software version # 1811.
This one is not resetting every night.
I understand why they would save one months data. Maybe the answer is to update Kid #2 to 1864.

I would be curious to know if there are any Kids out there with software 1864 that resets these values every night.
Thanks for getting me to dig deeper into what is causing the Kids to act differently.

You will have to dig back through discussion of past forums on the Kid. I know some of the revisions fixed some things or updated them.
Ryan posted recently that there was a new version that improved it's tracking performance.
Here is that post

If it was me I would probably update it.
