Page 8: Battery Charging Stage
Figure 1-3 Mutil-MPP Curve 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 A) Bulk Charging In this stage, the battery voltage has not yet reached constant voltage (Equalize or Boost Voltage), the controller operates in constant current mode, delivering its maximum current to the batteries (MPPT Charging). B) Constant Charging When the battery voltage reaches the constant voltage setpoint, the controller will start to operate in constant charging mode, this process is no longer MPPT charging, and in the meantime the charging current will drop gradually, the process is not the MPPT charging.

Page 14: Mounting
Note: The wire size is only for reference. If there is a long distance between the PV array and the controller or between the controller and the battery, larger wires can be used to reduce the voltage drop and improve performance. 2.4 Mounting CAUTION: The controller requires at least 150mm of clearance above and below for proper air flow. - Page 15 Figure 2-1 Mounting 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 indicator on the controller, it will be green.
