About these instructions These operating instructions are part of the product. Read these operating instructions carefully before use, keep them over the entire lifetime of the product, and pass them on to any future owner or user of this product. ...
2.3 General safety instructions Follow the general and national safety and accident prevention regulations. Never alter or remove the factory plates and identification labels. Keep children away from PV systems. Never open the device. 2.4 Other risks Danger of fire and explosion Do not use the solar charge controller in dusty environments, in the vicinity ...
Description 3.1 Functions The solar charge controller • monitors the battery voltage, • controls the charging process, • controls the connection/disconnection of loads connected to the load output. This optimises battery use and significantly extends its service life. Solarzellen konv. La A battery charging algorithm protects the battery from harmful states.
Charge controllers with MPP trackers can be used for a wider range of modules than those without MPPT. With an MPP tracker one is no longer dependent on the module voltage and string size. The module voltage can deviate signifi- cantly from the battery voltage.
3.3 LED displays Status Meaning Info LED illuminates normal operation green flashes red a fault exists (see "Faults and remedies") Red LED flashes quickly battery empty when the battery continues to be discharged the deep-discharge deactivation is triggered flashes deep-discharge deactivation Yellow LED illuminates battery weak...
4.1. Mounting the solar charge controller 4.1.1 Mounting location requirements • Do not mount the solar charge controller outdoors or in wet rooms. • Do not subject the solar charge controller to direct sunshine or other sources of heat. • Protect the solar charge controller from dirt and moisture. •...

4.2.2 Connection WARNING Danger of explosion from sparking! Danger of electric shock! At a voltage of > 75 V, particularly with regard to module open circuit volt- age (over the entire temperature range), the entire solar energy system must be installed with protection class II. 1st step: connect the battery CAUTION The device will be destroyed if the battery is connected with the wrong polarity.

nd step: connect the solar module CAUTION The connected modules may not exceed an open circuit voltage (VOC) of 100 V, even at extremely low temperatures. Ensure that the solar module is protected from incident light. Ensure that the solar module does not exceed the maximum ...
First connect the L+ load cable to the correct pole of the right pair of ter- minals on the solar charge controller (with the lamp symbol), then connect the L– cable. Replace the load fuse or switch on the load. ...
• protection from solar module overcurrent • protection from device overtemperature • protection from overvoltage at the load output • protection from the wrong connection sequence Maintenance The solar charge controller is maintenance-free. All components of the PV system must be checked at least annually, according to the specifications of the respective manufacturers. Ensure adequate ventilation of the cooling element. ...
