MAIN COMPONENTS

• Increase the charging efficiency: Compared with the traditional PWM controller, the MPPT charging efficiency can be increased by 10-30 %. (Controller conversion efficiency >95 %)
• Five types of batteries can be selected through the DIP switch. GEL battery, lead-acid battery, AGM, LiFePO4, and Lithium-ion.
• Double battery charging: Two groups of batteries can be connected at the same time and the batteries can be charged according to the priority set by the user. Improve the charging efficiency of solar panels.
• It is allowed to connect two groups of batteries of different types (for example AGM + LiFePO4) and voltages (12V or 24V) at the same time. The controller will judge the current battery type and battery voltage before charging.
• Fully automatic unattended charging. With overload, overheating, reverse current protection (to prevent the battery from flowing back to the solar panel when it is cloudy or without sunlight at night).
• Overcharge protection. When the battery is fully charged, the charging current will decrease. When the battery is empty, the battery will be charged immediately
• Automatic temperature compensation function. The two batteries use independent temperature sensors to ensure that the batteries use the best charging parameters in low or high temperature environments. Extend the service life of the battery. It is strongly recommended not to install the battery and the controller in the place of the heat source, so as to avoid the misoperation of the controller
• REMARKS: LiFePO4 battery has no temperature compensation, no need to connect a temperature sensor.

WARNING

• Only GEL batteries, lead-acid batteries, AGM, LiFePO4 and Lithium-ion (NCM) batteries that meet the rated Voltage can be charged (LiFePO4 batteries must have a BMS).
• The power of the solar panel cannot exceed the rated power.
• The wire diameter of the connecting cable refers to the value recommended by the factory. If the cable is too small, it will cause the cable to overheat and energy loss.
• Install a rated fuse close to the battery to protect the cable between the battery and the solar panel.
• Please install in a well-ventilated room to prevent rain, moisture, dust, corrosive battery gas and no condensation in the environment.
• Keep the controller and battery away from children.

INSTALLATION

Dual batterie Charging

1. Two groups of batteries can be connected atthe same time.
2. Batteries of different type (for example AGM + LiFePO4) or different voltage (12V/24V) can be connected together.
3. The controller will judge the battery type / battery voltage before charging and adopt different charging parameters.
   A fuse must be installed on the positive pole before the battery is connected to the controller. The size of the fuse is 1.5-2 times the rated charging current.
   Access sequence: The two group of batteries are connected to the controller in no particular order. Connect the connecting wires to the controller terminals first, and finally to the positive and negative poles of the battery.

Warning : It is strictly forbidden to short-circuit the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, otherwise there will be a risk of fire and explosion? Please operate with caution?

Solar panel

1. Solar panel voltage: The open circuit voltage of the solar panel must be less than 50 V. Excessive voltage may damage the controller
2. Connect the fuse to the positive pole of the solar panel, the fuse specification is 1.5-2 times of the maximum current of the solar panel .

Battery selection

1. Before charging starts, the battery type must be selected. Change the battery type during charging is invalid.
2. If the battery selection is wrong and it is not one of the 5 battery types, the „Charge” and „Warning” LED lights will flash simultaneously.
3. If you only charge one battery, you can connect the battery to any battery terminal, and then select the battery type on the corresponding switch. It is recommended to choose any lead-acid battery type for the other group of batteries. It is not recommended to choose LiFeP04 or lithium-ion batteries. If a lithium battery is selected, the controller will try to charge (even if there is no battery connected), which will waste charging time.
4. In the process of switching between two sets of batteries, the controller will first detect the battery type when charging another group of batteries. If the battery type changes, the charging parameters will also change. But if you are charging the battery, it is invalid to modify the current battery type.
5. 2 groups of batteries can choose different battery types, and different battery voltages (12 V or 24 V are 0k), the controller can automatically identify

System ground

1. The negative poles of the two group of batteries are connected together, so the system needs to be grounded, please connect to the negative pole of the battery

Fan on and off

1. Fan ON: Controller internal temperature >45 oc, or charging current >15 A
2. Fan OFF: The internal temperature is less than 42 oc and the charging current is less than 15 A
3. If the temperature is >42 oc, the fan will continue to run for 30 seconds before turning off

LiFePO4 battery charging

1. Lithium battery 0V charging is activated: When the LiFePO4 battery BMS is in the protection  state and there is no output, the controller can automatically activate the LiFePO4 battery for  charging.
2. This controller only applies to LiFePO4 with a nominal voltage of 12.8 V and Lithium-ion battery with a nominal voltage of 11.1 V.
