11.8 cut in 11.4 cut out.
What mine says anyway. Can't see too many batteries ever getting down that low in purpose so it will be pretty well always on if you connect that wire.
Nice neat setup by the way.

Had a interesting issue on the weekend. First camping trip in installing the ctek d250SE . Been working ok as cars been parked with solar connected to maintain batteries due to travel restrictions. As it’s a 97 GQ and a 105 amp AGM i connected the black wire on the smart alt to earth . Well it just flashed the current saving mode (green light left side lower) . After much checking I disconnected that black wire (earth) and it started working. Connected the earth back and nothing. Anyone had this issue ?

(edit because I got it wrong)
Are you talking about the black agm wire or the red smart alternator wire?
Is it charging okay off solar? But not off the alternator?

Morning, the black wire in the same sheath as the smart alt red wire. No doesn’t want to work when in AGM (earthed) but does when in lead acid . Only thing was done prior to leaving was I connected a 240v battery charger to car night before when I turned 2 fridges on .

Yeah can't help sorry, if it was all working okay and now it's not it must be a fault. Either in the wiring or the unit.
I've charged mine with a 240v charger plenty of times with no issue.

Update, black sensor wire (earth for Agm ) was not a good earth . Was earthed to body where a existing wiring harness earth was . CTEK unit needs a perfect earth (direct battery earth). Have had no issues since .
