Product Features

Thank you for choosing our product. This PWM solar charge controller is a device for solar charge regulation and direct current output load control. This device is mainly used in small & medium sized offgrid solar power systems, up to l.2KW.

These charge controllers have these features:

Pre-set charging modes available for most common deep-cycle battery types in the market, including  AGM (sealed lead acid batteries), GEL, Flooded, and Lithium mode with customized parameters. User mode for professions to set for full battery parameters (operation on APP).

• Automatic recognition of 12V/24V battery system for AGM/GEI/Flooded battery.
• Provides multiple load control mode options for light based, time based and manually adjusted scenarios.
• Industrial grade design with reverse polarity protection for solar panels, battery and load.
• SV 1A USB outlet provides charging for mobile devices.
• We provide for this controller APP ChargePro for mobile phone monitoring and operation.
• You can search “ChargePro” and download the APP at IOS APP Store and Google Play Store.

Installation Mounting Holes

Wire Connection Sequences

During installation of your PWM controller, please follow below order of connection:

1. Connect the positive battery wire followed by the negative battery wire.
2. Make sure your solar panels are fully covered to prevent electrical shock. Connect the positive solar array output wire followed by the negative solar array output wire.
3. Connect the DC load wiring to the DC load output (if applicable)
4. Download APP ChargePro and turn on the Bluetooth function in the mobile phone. Testing the APP function with the controller.

Error Code Chart

Code

| Error| Description & Quick Troubleshoot
---|---|---

EOO

| No error|

No action needed.

EOl

| Battery Over-discharged| Battery voltage is too low.

DC load will be turned off until battery re-charges to recovery voltage.

E02

| Battery Over-voltage| Battery voltage has exceeded controller limit. Check battery bank voltage for compatibilist with controller.

E04

| Load Short Circuit| DC load short circuit.

EOS

| Load Overload| DC load power draw exceeds controller capability. Reduce load size or upgrade to a higher load capacity controller.

E06

| Overheating| Controller exceeds operating temperature limit. Ensure the controller is placed in a well-ventilated cool, dry place.
| Solar Over-amperage| Solar array amperage exceeds controller rated input amperage.

Decrease the amperage of solar panels connected to the controller or upgrade to a higher rated controller.

ElO

| Solar Over-voltage| Solar array voltage exceeds controller rated input voltage.

Decrease the voltage of solar panels connected to the controller.

E13

| Solar Reverse Polarity| Solar array input wires connected with reverse polarity. Disconnect and re-connect with correct wire polarity.

E14

| Battery Reverse Polarity| Battery connection wires connected with reversepola rity.

Disconnect and re-connect with correct wire polarity.

• Please contact professions for technical support on additional troubleshooting

Controller Specification

The variable “n” is adopted as a multiplying factor when calculating parameter voltages, the rule for “n” is listed as: if battery system voltage is 12\/, n=l; 24\/, n=2.
