• Disconnect all sources of power to the controller before installing or adjusting the MPPT. • There are no fuses or disconnects inside the MPPT. Do not attempt to repair it. • Install external fuses/breakers as required.
Please take the time to read this operator’s manual and be familiar with the controller. This will help you make full use of the many advantages the MPPT can provide for your PV system.

In this situation, there will be very little or no MPPT gain compared to traditional controllers. However, systems with modules of higher nominal voltage than the battery bank will always have an array V greater than battery voltage.
Equalize Stage WARNING: Risk of Explosion Equalizing vented batteries produces explosive gases. The battery bank must be properly ventilated. CAUTION: Equipment Damage Equalization increases the battery voltage to levels that may damage sensitive DC loads. Verify all system loads are rated for the temperature compensated Equalize voltage before beginning an Equalization charge.
