I've never used this setup, but with the chargers/controllers I've used,
the output of the power supply has to be greater than 24V. In fact,
doesn't the output of the power supply have to be at least 28 or 28.5
volts? This would allow the battery controller to modulate the output to
the batteries, whether it be bulk, absorption, or float?

I followed the instructions from Traco, but as you can see the battery is
currently at about 23v and that is what the Traco power supply is outputting.
The instructions say to turn the power supply all the way down and to let the
BCM control the output. It's all set up, jumper is in position 1, the feedback
cable is connected between the PS and the BCM but the BCM doesn't appear to be
telling the power supply to do anything except turn on.
Anyone with some experience with Traco care to tell me what I'm doing wrong.
It's worked like this since day one, the BCM doesn't appear to be doing
anything regardless of the battery voltage.
