Radio Interference Statement
This solar charge controller has been tested and complies with the limits set by CE RED, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This solar charge controller generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used under the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this solar charge controller does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Grounding Instructions

D100S Solar Charge Controller

Introduction
The D100S is specially designed for the balcony solar + storage system. It works together with PV modules, microinverters, and energy storage batteries (B210) to offer users a reliable energy storage solution. The system operates in three different modes:
Mode 1: Under conditions of ample and steady solar supply, the energy generated by the PV modules is stored in the B210 battery. Once the B210 is fully charged, any excess energy generated is seamlessly channelled to power your household appliances directly through the microinverter.

Mode 2: In conditions where there is no need for charging the B210, the solar energy harvested from the PV modules can seamlessly flow into your home’s supply system. Mode 3: In the case of insufficient solar supply or during peak hours when electricity rates are higher, the energy stored in the B210 can be employed to ensure the functioning of your household appliances through the microinverter.

Required Tools

Space Requirements

• When setting up the D100S, it’s important to avoid direct exposure to elements like sunlight, rain, and snow.
• Leave at least 2 inches (5cm) of space around the D100S to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation.

Installation Procedures

Mount the D100S
The D100S provides a range of mounting options to suit different needs, including walls, PV modules, module racks, and balcony railings. This manual presents an example of mounting the D100S on the wall.

1. Use an impact drill with a 10mm bit to create appropriate holes in the wall. Make sure the holes are at least 60mm deep.
2. Insert the M8*60 expansion bolts into the pre-drilled holes, then tap them in with a hammer until the ends of the bolts are level with the wall surface.
3. Remove the nuts and washers from the expansion bolts. Thread the mounting slot of the D100S through the bolts to temporarily secure it in place.
4. Use a tool like a socket wrench to firmly tighten the D100S in place using the nuts and washers.

Warning: When installing the microinverter, be sure to hold onto the cable connector rather than gripping or pulling the cable directly.

Notice

Grounding: The D100S must be properly grounded. Please select the appropriate grounding method for specific installation conditions, using the provided M5 grounding screws:

• Connect the D100S grounding with the microinverter grounding.
• Alternatively, independently ground the D100S to the Earth.
• You can use the provided M5 screw along with a grounding wire of 4mm2 for proper grounding. The grounding position is shown below:

Mount the Microinverter
Please refer to Step 1 in Section 3.4.1 of the A60/A80/A100 Microinverter User Manual for details.

Notice: For an overview of the microinverter, please refer to Section 2 of the A60/A80/A100 Microinverter User Manual.

Connect the Microinverter
Use the DC to MC4 Connection Cable to connect the D100S and the microinverter. Align the two arrows on the DC connectors and firmly push them together. You’ll hear a click when they’re in place.

Join the MC4 connectors together. You’ll hear a click when they’re in place.

Connect the B210 Battery
Connect the B210 to the battery connector of the D100S using the battery expansion cable. You’ll hear a click when they’re in place.

Hint

• Do not expose the B210 to direct sunlight.
• Ensure that there is approximately 1.8 inches (45 mm) of clearance between the floor and the B210 rack, as shown in the figure below. Please consider the possibility of water accumulation on rainy days.

Connect the AC Cable
Please refer to Step 2 in Section 3.4.1 of the A60/A80/A100 Microinverter User Manual for details.

Connect the PV Modules
Join the MC4 connectors together to establish the connection between the PV modules and the D100S. You’ll hear a click when they’re in place. The arrow in the figure below illustrates the connection.

Warning: Ensure that the open circuit voltage of each PV modules meets the requirements of D100S’s input voltage specified in the “Specifications” section, or it may damage your D100S.

Hint

• If the D100S is located far away from the PV modules, use the MC4 extension cables to connect them (red for positive and black for negative).
• When connecting two PV modules to a D100S, use the MC4 splitter, as shown in the figures below.
• If you need a longer MC4 cable, you can purchase it from the official BLUETTI website at: https://www.bluettipower.eu The arrow in the figure below illustrates the connection.
