INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 General Installation Notes

  • Read through the entire installation section first before beginning installation.

  • Be very careful when working with batteries. Wear eye protection. Have fresh water available to wash and clean any contact with battery acid.

  • Use insulated tools and avoid placing metal objects near the batteries.
    WARNING: Never install the MPPT in an enclosure with vented/flooded Ly batteries. Battery fumes are flammable and will corrode and destroy the MFPT circuits.
    CAUTION. When installing the MPPT in an enclosure, ensure sufficient ventilation. Installation in a sealed enclosure will lead to over- heating, reduced power operation and a decreased product lifetime.

  • Do not install in locations where water can enter the controller.

  • Loose power connections and /or corroded wires may result in resistive connections that melt wire insulation, burn surrounding materials, or even cause fire. Ensure tight connections and use cable clamps to secure cables and prevent them from swaying in mobile applications.

  • Preset charging profiles are generally designed for common batteries. Custom settings can be used for varied charging requirements (see sections 4.2 for details).

  • The MPPT battery connection may be wired to one battery, or a bank of batteries.

  • The MPPT prevents reverse current leakage at night, so a blocking diode is not required in the system.

  • The MPPT is designed to regulate ONLY solar (photovoltaic) power. Connection to any other type of power source e.g. wind turbine or generator may void the warranty.
    WARNING: Solar and battery fuses or DC breakers are required in the system.
    These protection devices are external to the MPPT controller.
    WARNING: installation must comply with Gectrical Code requirements.
    Breakers and fuses may require lower ratings than referenced, so as not to exceed any specific wire ampacity.

3.2 Mounting
Inspect the controller for shipping damage. Do not install directly over an easily combustible surface since the heat sink may get hot under certain operating conditions.
For proper air flow, allow at least 15 cm (6 in) of space above and below the controller, and 10 cm (4 in) at the sides. Do not locate in an enclosure where battery gases can accumulate.

NOTE: The heat sink must be in a vertical position (fins up and down).

STEP 1: Check Controller Limitations
Verify that the highest temperature compensated solar array open-circuit voltage (Voc), and load current do not exceed the ratings of the MPPT version being installed. Multiple controllers can be installed in parallel on the same battery bank to achieve greater total charging current. In this type of system, each MPPT must have its own solar array. The load terminals of multiple controllers can only be wired together if the total load draw does not exceed the nameplate current of the LOWEST rated controller.

STEP 2: Fasten the installation accessories
Align the installation accessories with the mounting holes on the controller.
Fasten the installation accessories to the controller with M4 (4-M4 stainless steel screws are included)

accessories

STEP 3: Connect input and output wires
Before wiring, it is necessary to open the cover plate on the back of the controller, then wiring according to the wire sequence and tighten the screws, and then install the cover plate again after confirmation.

wires

STEP 4: Drill mounting holes in the wall
Measure and mark the distance on the wall, drill 6mm holes and insert plastic expansion particles and tighten.

wall

STEP 5: Mount the controller on the wall
Align the controller with the mounting hole, tighten the controller to the wall with M4 screws.

STEP 6: Power on and start working
Check that the solar panel and battery are in normal condition, and then switch on in the order of first battery and then solar panel.

NOTE: Before connecting the battery, measure the open-circuit voltage. It must be over 10 volts to start the controller. If the system voltage is set to Auto-detect, battery voltage over 18V will be detected as a 24V nominal battery, and the unit will charge accordingly. The 12/24V auto selection is only done at start-up.

Warning : Risk of damage
Disconnect the battery from the MPPT after the solar input is disconnected as far as possible. If the battery is removed during MPPT charging, there is a certain probability that the controller will be damaged.
To prevent damage, the power must be cut off under the following conditions: Reverse order as power-up.

OPERATION

4.1 Max Power Point Tracking Technology
Power is the product of voltage and current (Volts x Amps), the following is true*:
(1) Power Into the MPPT = Power Out of the MPPT
(2) Volts In x Amps In = Volts Out x Amps Out

  • assuming 100% efficiency i.e. if no losses in wiring and conversion existed.

If the solar module’s Vmp is greater than the battery voltage, it follows that the battery current must be proportionally greater than the solar input current so that input and output power are balanced. The greater the difference between the maximum power  voltage and battery voltage, the greater the current boost.
Higher solar input voltage results in lower solar input current for a given input power. High voltage solar input strings allow for smaller gauge solar wiring. This is especially helpful for systems with long wiring runs between the solar array and the MPPT.
An Advantage Over Traditional Controllers Traditional controllers connect the solar module directly to the battery when recharging. This requires that the solar module operate in a voltage range that is below the module’s Vmp. In a 12V system, for example, the battery voltage may range from 10 – 15 Vdc but the module’s Vmp is typically around 17V. The figure below shows a typical current vs. voltage output curve for a nominal 12V charging system.

Technology

4.2 Battery Charging 0
Charging lead-acid batteries
The MPPT has a 4-stage battery charging algorithm for rapid, efficient, and safe battery charging.

  1. CC Stage (Constant Current Charging): Fast Charging

  2. CV Stage (Constant Voltage Charging): Absorption Charging

  3. CF Stage (Floating Charging): Protect the battery from long-term overcharge.
    And make up the loss of self-discharge

  4. Equalization Stage: Activate battery chemical reaction

Charging Lithium ion batteries
The MPPT will charge according to the specifications of lithium-ion battery, which is mainly divided into two stages. First stage, when the battery voltage is less than the saturation voltage, it will charge quickly, and the second stage, when the battery voltage is equal to the saturation voltage, it will absorb charge.

NOTE: These settings are general guidelines for use at the operator’s discretion. The MPPT can be set to satisfy a wide range of charging parameters. Consult the battery manufacturer for optimal battery charge settings.
4.3 Load Control Information
The primary purpose of the load control function is to disconnect system loads when the battery has discharged to a low state of charge, and reconnect system loads when the battery is sufficiently recharged. System loads may be lights, DC appliances, or other electronic devices. The total current draw of all loads must not exceed the MPPT 20 or 30 Amp maximum load rating.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Do not wire any AC inverter to the load terminals of the MPPT. Damage to the load control circuit may result. An inverter should be wired to the battery. If there is a possibility that any other load will sometimes exceed the maximum voltage or current limits, the device should be wired directly to the battery or battery bank.
General Load Control Notes:
Do not wire multiple MPPT load outputs together in parallel to power DC loads with a current draw greater than 20 or 30A, depending on the MPPT model in use.
Equal current sharing cannot be assured and an over-load condition will likely occur on one or more controllers.
Exercise caution when connecting loads with specific polarity to a live load circuit. A reverse polarity connection may damage the load. Always double check load connections before applying power.
The load output voltage range is the same as battery pack. For example, if the battery’s voltage is 25.2V, the instant load output voltage is 25.2V, too.
It can supply power to load output continuously if the load output current in within the rated range.
When the load output working current is 100%-120% of rated current for 5 mins, load output will be OFF.
As soon as load output working current is over 120% of rated current, the load output will be OFF immediately.
NOTE: To restart load output, user should set Load Type to “ON” or others manually through controller/APP/meter/PC.
Load Control Modes:

  1. ON/OFF Mode: The state of being on or off.
  2. Light (PV) Control Mode: On and off according to whether there is sunlight. Refer to the model shown in the figure.
  3. Dual-timer Interval Control Mode: On and off by two timers. Refer to the model shown in the figure.
  4. Time & Light (PV) Control Mode: On and off according to sunlight in hours.

Modes Note: Only ON/OFF mode can be set on the controller, and others need to be set through optional accessories.
Note: ON/OFF mode can be set, refer to 4.5
4.4 LED Indications
Green:
It represents the state of load output. When it is always on, it indicates that it is currently in on mode and on state. When it flashes, it indicates that it is currently in on mode but does not meet the conditions of on. When it is off, it indicates off mode.
Bule: It indicates the charging state: when it flashes quickly, it indicates the fast charging state (CC), when it flashes slowly, it indicates the constant voltage charging state (CV), when it is always on, it indicates that it is in floating charge state (CF) or standby mode.
Red: It will flash when there is a fault but it can still run. It will always be on when the fault causes it to stop working. When it is off, it indicates normal.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
NO POWER OR ACCESSORY TERMINALS ARE ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED FROM DC INPUT, AND MAY BE ENERGIZED WITH HAZARDOUS SOLAR VOLTAGE. UNDER CERTAIN FAULT CONDITIONS, BATTERY COULD BECOME OVERCHARGED. TEST BETWEEN ALL TERMINALS AND GROUND BEFORE TOUCHING.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
A means of disconnecting all power supply poles must be provided. These disconnects must be incorporated in the fixed wiring. Open all power source disconnects before removing controller wiring cover, or accessing wiring.
Problem:
No LED indications, controller does not appear to be powered
Solution:
With a multi-meter, check the voltage at the battery terminals on the MPPT. Battery voltage must be 10 vdc or greater. If the voltage on the battery terminals of the controller is between 10 and 35 vdc, and no LEDs are lit, contact your authorized dealer for service. If no voltage is measured, check wiring connections, fuses, and breakers.
Problem:
The MPPT is not charging the battery.
Solution:
Check the fuses, breakers, and wiring connections in the power source wiring. With a multi-meter, check the array voltage directly at the MPPT solar input terminals. Input voltage must be greater than battery voltage before charging will begin. Check whether the battery voltage in OLED is in the range of controller system recognition.
Problem:
The battery is in a low energy or empty for a long time.
Solution:
Possible reasons: 1. Solar panels quantity are too less to generate enough energy, increase solar panels quantity.
2. Battery capacity is too small to store enough energy, increase battery capacity.
