FAQ

Q: What should I do if the Battery LED indicator is fast flashing?
A: The fast flashing of the Battery LED indicator may indicate that the battery voltage is higher than the overvoltage disconnect voltage. Check your battery’s voltage levels and ensure they are within the recommended range.

IMPORTANT

• Always connect the battery first, in order to allow the Controller to recognize system voltage
• Use a 12V (36 cells) solar array for a 12V system.
• Use a 24V (72 cells) solar array for a 24V system.

General Safety Information

• Read all instructions and cautions in the manual before starting the installation.
• Keep the controller away from rain exposure, severe dust, vibration, corrosive gas and intense electromagnetic interference.
• Do not allow water to enter the controller.
• There are no user serviceable parts inside the controller. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair it.

Features

• Lighting control function, fully programmable with software (available free of charge on our website), or the Remote Panel.
• Three stage battery charging (bulk, absorption, float), fully programmable.
• Integrated battery monitor function (Remote Panel needed to display state of charge).
• Load output with low voltage disconnect and manual control (default setting).
• Optional external temperature sensor.
• Load output protected against over load and short circuit.
• Protected against reverse polarity connection of the solar array and/or battery.

Installation and operation

Important note: always connect the battery first, in order to allow the controller to recognize system voltage.

• The controller is a common positive controller.
• If system grounding is required, preferably the positive pole of the battery should be grounded.
• Use one system ground only.

Indicator Status Description

| Green| On Solid| Normal

(Vbat > 12,1V resp. 24,2V)

Green| Slowly Flashing| Full
Green| Fast Flashing| Over voltage

(Vbat > 15V resp. 30V)

Orange| On Solid| Under voltage

(Vbat <12,5V resp. 23V)

Red| On Solid| Battery over discharged (Vbat < 10V resp. 20V)

Red

| ****

Flashing

| Battery over temperature

(if temp. sensor installed)

(Tbat > 45°C)

****| Red| On Solid| Normal
Red| Slowly Flashing| Overload
Red| Fast Flashing| Short circuit
Charging, load and battery indicator (red) flashing simultaneously| System voltage error
Charging, load and battery indicator (orange) flashing simultaneously| Over temperature

Switch Button Functions:
Manual ON/OFF load control.
Resume to normal operation after a fault has been cleared.

Programming the controller

The default settings (see specifications) can be modified with help of software (available free of charge on our website), or with the remote panel.
The panel must be connected to the controller with a standard RJ45 UTP cable.

Possible settings (please see the software manual or the manual of the remote panel for details):

Load programs:

• Manual Control (default)
• Light ON/OFF
• Light ON + Timer
• Time Control

Battery Type:

• Gel
• Sealed AGM (default)
• Flooded
• User defined

Protection

• Load Overload
  If the load current exceeds the rated current of controller (≥1.05 times rated discharge current), the controller will disconnect the load. Overloading must be cleared, then press the switch button.

• Load Short Circuit
  Fully protected against load wiring short-circuit (≥2 times rated discharge current). After one automatic load reconnect attempt, the fault must be cleared by restarting the controller or pressing the switch button.

• PV Reverse Polarity
  Full protection against PV reverse polarity, no damage to the controller will result. Correct the wiring to resume normal operation.

• Battery Reverse Polarity
  Full protection against battery reverse polarity, no damage to the controller will result. Correct the wiring to resume normal operation.

• Damaged Temperature Sensor
  If the temperature sensor short-circuited or damaged, the controller will be charging or discharging at the default temperature (25°C).

• Overheating Protection
  If the temperature of the controller heat sink exceeds 85°C, the controller will stop charging and discharging. When the temperature is below 75°C, the controller will restart.

• High Voltage Transients
  Limited internal transient protection.
  In lightning prone areas, additional external suppression is recommended.

Troubleshooting

are correct and tight.
Green Battery LED indicator fast flashing| Battery voltage higher than over voltage disconnect voltage| Check battery voltage. If too high, disconnect the solar module immediately and replace the controller.
Battery LED indicator orange| Battery under voltage| Load output is normal. Charging LED indicator will return to green automatically when fully charged.
Battery LED indicator RED and loads not working| Battery over discharged| The controller did cut off the output automatically. The LED indicator will return to green when fully charged.
Load status indicator red and slow flashing| Overload| Remove or cut out the additional load and press the button. The controller will restart after 3s.
Load status indicator red and fast flashing| Short circuit| Clear short circuit and press the button, the controller will resume to work after 3s
Charging, load and battery indicator (orange) flashing simultaneously| Over temperature| When the heat sink of the controller exceeds 85℃, the controller will automatically shut down. When the temperature has decreased to less than 75℃, the controller will restart.
Charging, load and battery indicator (red) flashing simultaneously| System voltage error|

• Check whether the battery voltage matches with the controller working voltage. Please change to a suitable battery or reset the working voltage.
• Press load button to clear the malfunction.
