6000XP won't start charge with 188VDC

I have a 6000XP with 4 450W SEG panels in series. OCV is ~200V and I am seeing 188V currently on a cloudy day but charging has not started. Has anyone else noticed this? Is the threshold to start charging abnormally high for these units?
 
I didn't change the charge voltage, but it is possible. Once it starts charging, it will charge until the voltage gets down to 165V or so before shutting down. I'll dig a bit further into the parameters. 145V is the starting voltage I was expecting as well.
 
That seems high. Just looking at today's data, my 6000XP started charging @132.7V in the morning and cutoff @126.6V in late afternoon.
 
Here is the info for yesterday. It was a sunny day. The delay for charging to begin was not as pronounced as it is on a cloudy day.

Here is February 3rd (cloudy). There were several hours in the morning where the voltage was high enough to charge, but the MPPT didn't kick in. This is why I was wondering if there is a minimum wattage/amperage threshold to start charging because I have never had a SCC do this before. Has anyone else noticed this on cloudy days?
