1.3 Optional Accessories 1) Remote Temperature Sensor (Model:RTS300R47K3.81A) Acquisition of battery temperature for undertaking temperature compensation of control parameters, the standard length of the cable is 3m (length can be customized). The RTS300R47K3.81A connects to the port (④) on the controller. NOTE: Unplug the RTS, the temperature of battery will be set to a fixed value 25º... - Page 7 &V the greater the discrepancy between I &I . The greater the discrepancy Bat, between array and battery,the bigger reduction of the conversion efficiency of the system, thus the controller‟s conversion efficiency is particularly important in the PV system. Figure 1-2 is the maximum power point curve, the shaded area is charging range of traditional solar charge controller (PWM Charging Mode), it can obviously diagnose that the MPPT mode can improve the usage of the solar energy resource.

Page 8: Battery Charging Stage
If the program works improperly after appearing Multi-MPP, the system will not work on the real max power point, which may waste most solar energy resources and seriously affect the normal operation of the system. The typical MPPT algorithm, designed by our company, can track the real MPP quickly and accurately, improve the utilization rate of the array and avoid the waste of resources. - Page 9 gas precipitation or overheating of battery. Boost Charging The Boost stage maintain 2 hours in default, user can adjust the constant time and preset value of boost voltage according to demand. The stage is used to prevent heating and excessive battery gassing. ...
- Page 10 Equalizing charge increases battery voltage, higher than the standard complement voltage, which gasifies the battery electrolyte. The controller will equalize the battery on 28th each month. The constant equalization period is 0~180 minutes. If the equalization isn‟t accomplished in one-time, the equalization recharge time will be accumulated until the set time is finished.

Page 14: Mounting
2.4Mounting CAUTION: The controller requires at least 150mm of clearance above and below for proper air flow. Ventilation is highly recommended if mounted in an enclosure. WARNING: Risk of explosion! Never install the controller in a sealed enclose with flooded batteries! Do not install in a confined area where battery gas can accumulate. - Page 15 1) Connect components to the charge controller in the sequence as shown above and pay much attention to the “+” and “-”. Please don‟t turn on the fuse during the installation. When disconnecting the system, the order will be reserved. 2) After installation, power the controller and check the battery LED indicator on.
