SOLAR CONTROLLER

Safety instructions

• Read all of the instructions in the manual before installation.
• DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair the controller.
• Install external fuse or breaker as required.
• Do disconnect the solar module and fuse/ breakers near to battery before installing or moving the controller.
• Power connections must remain tight to avoid excessive heating from a loose connection.
• Only charge batteries that comply with the parameters of controller.
• Battery connection may be wired to one battery or a bank of batteries.
• Risk of electric shock, the PV and load can produce high voltages when the controller is working.

Overview
The Solar Charge Controller is a PWM charge controller that adopts the most advanced digital technique. It’s an easy operation and cost efficient controller featured as:

• Intelligent 3-level PWM charging: Bulk, Boost/Equalize, Float
• Supports 3 ways of charging: gel, gas-tight, liquid-filled
• Battery status LED indicator shows the battery situation
• Battery temperature compensation function
• The USB port provides a power supply that can be used to charge electronic devices
• Battery type and charging output can be set by one button
• Comprehensive electronic protection

Wiring
Connect the system in the order of 1 Battery 2 Load 3 PV array and disconnect the system in the reverse order 3 2 1 (see figure 2).
NOTE : While wiring the controller do not close the circuit breaker or fuse and make sure that the leads of „+“ and „-“ poles are connected correctly.
NOTE : A fuse which current is 1.25 to 2 times the rated current of the controller must be installed on the battery side with a distance from the battery not greater than 150 mm.
NOTE : If an inverter is to be connected to the system, connect the inverter directly to the battery, not to the load side of the controller.

Battery protection

Battery Over Voltage Protection
When the battery voltage reaches to the set point of Over Voltage Disconnect Voltage (OVD), the controller will stop charging the battery to protect the battery from being over charged to break down.
Battery Over Discharge Protection
When the battery voltage reaches to the set point of Low Voltage Disconnect Voltage (LVD), the controller will stop discharging the battery to protect the battery from being over discharged.
Load Overload Protection
Load will be switched off when 1.25 times rated current overload happens. User has to reduce load appliance, then press the button or repower the controller.
Load Short Circuit Protection
Load will be switched off when load short circuit (≥3 times rated current) happens. User has to clear short circuit, then press the button or repower the controller.
High Voltage Transients Protection
The controller is protected against small high voltage transients. In lightning prone areas, additional external suppression is recommended.

Setting operation

Battery Voltage Control Parameters
Below parameters are for 12V systems at 25ºC. Please double the values for 24V systems.

Troubleshooting

LED Charging indicator turn off during daytime when sunshine falls on PV modules properly| PV array disconnection| Confirm that PV and battery wire connections are correct and tight
No LED indicator| Battery voltage maybe less than 8V| Measure battery voltage with the multi-meter.
Min. 8V can startup the controller
Charging status LED indicator Fast flashing| Battery Over Voltage| Check if battery voltage is higher than OVD, and disconnect the PV.
LED1 Fast flashing| Battery over discharged| When the battery voltage is restored to or above LVR point (low voltage reconnect voltage), the load will recover.
Load status LED indicator slowly flashing| Load over load*|

1. Please reduce the number of electric equipment
2. Press the button or repower the controller

Load status LED indicator fast flashing| Load short circuit| Check carefully loads connection, clear the fault
Press the button or repower the controller.

*When load current reaches 1.25 times, 1.5 times and 2 times more than nominal value, the controller will automatically turn off loads in 60s, 5s and 1s respectively.
