- Page 5 1. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION Charge current up to 70 A and PV voltage up to 150 V The BlueSolar 150/70-MPPT charge controller is able to charge a lower nominal-voltage battery from a higher nominal voltage PV array. The controller will automatically adjust to a 12, 24, or 48 V nominal battery voltage. Ultra fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10%...
- Page 6 At a voltage >75 V, particularly with regard to the open circuit voltage of the PV array, the solar system must be installed according to protection class II. A chassis grounding point is located on the outside of the product. If it can be assumed that the grounding protection is damaged, the product should be taken out of operation and prevented from accidentally being put into operation again;...

- Page 9 The CAN bus on this charger is not galvanically isolated. The CAN bus is referenced to the minus battery connection. The CAN bus interface will be referenced to ground if the minus pole of the battery is grounded. In case of a positive grounded system, a CAN isolation module will be needed to reference the CAN bus interface to ground.
