SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Make sure your battery has enough voltage for the controller to recognize the battery type before first installation.
- The battery cable should be as short as possible to minimize loss.
- This controller is suitable for all kinds of lead-acid batteries (including Sealed, Flooded, AGM, GEL), lithium-ion batteries, and lithium iron phosphate batteries.
- The charge regulator is only suitable for regulating solar modules. Never connect another charging source to the charge regulator.
PRODUCT FEATURES
- Build-in industrial microcontroller.
- IR remote control, LED display, auto memory function, IP68 protection.
- Fully 4-stage PWM charge management.
- Build-in short-circuits protection, open-circuit protection, reverse protection, over-load protection.
- Dual Mosfet Reverse current protection, the low heat production.
SYSTEM CONNECTION
- Connect the battery to the charge regulator – plus and minus. it will auto-adapt the battery type.
- Connect the photovoltaic module to the regulator – plus and minus.
- Connect the consumer to the charge regulator – plus and minus.
The reverse order applies when uninstalling!
An improper sequence order can damage the controller!
SETTING/SYSTEM MODE
-
When the controller is energized, the controller recognizes the battery voltage type. If the battery voltage is lower than 18V, it is identified as the 12V system, and if it is higher than 18V, it is identified as the 24V system.
-
After identifying the system voltage, the user can press the infrared remote controller to choose a battery type. After receiving the signal, the controller’s blue light flashes, and the setting is completed without restarting.
-
the controller supports 3 types of batteries, which is:
12V lead-acid batteries (including Sealed, Flooded, AGM, GEL)
11.1V lithium-ion battery (3 series, 33.7V, including capacity and power type).
12.8V phosphoric acid iron lithium battery (4 series, 43.2V)
If it is a 24V system, it corresponds to:
24V lead-acid batteries (including Sealed, Flooded, AGM, GEL)
22.2V lithium-ion battery (6 series, 63.7V, including capacity and power type).
25.6V phosphoric acid iron lithium battery (8 series, 83.2V) -
after the battery type is set, the user can set the work mode of the load, the system (24H) mode is normally open mode for the load, which means, the load output has been always connected (unless low power protection). Dusk to Dawn mode (D2D) means system load is disconnected in the daytime and connected at night time. 1-13H means system load is connected when night falls and disconnected after 1-13 hours timer. The D2D mode and the timer mode are used for the solar energy lighting system, which is fully automatic control.
-
when it is necessary to temporarily connect or disconnect the load, press the manual (H), enter the manual mode, and then press ON/OFF to manually switch the load,.this function is generally used to test the connection of the load.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Situation
| Probable cause|
Solution
---|---|---
Charge LED not on when sunny| Solar panel opened or reversed| Reconnect
Load LED off| Mode setting wrong| Set again
Battery low| recharge
Load LED slow flashing| Overload| Reduce load watt
Load LED slow flashing| Short circuit protection| Auto-reconnect
Power off| Battery too low/reverse| Check battery/connection
