(2) Maximum PV array power This MPPT controller has a limiting function of charging current/power. The charging current/power will be limited within the rated range, therefore, the controller will charge the battery with the rated charging power even if the input power at the PV exceeds this limit.
WARNING: The controller may be damaged when the maximum PV open circuit voltage(Voc) exceeds 60V(TRIRON**06N), 100V(TRIRON**10N) or 150V (TRIRON**15N) at minimum operating environment temperature. 2.3 Wire Size The wiring and installation methods must conform to all national and local electrical code requirements.
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.

6. Protections, Troubleshooting and Maintenance 6.1 Protection When the charging current or power of the PV array exceeds its rated current or power, it will be charged at the rated Over Current current or power. PV Short Circuit When not in PV charging state, the controller will not be damaged in case of a short-circuiting in the PV array. When the polarity of the PV array is reversed, the controller may not be damaged and can continue to operate normally after the polarity is corrected.
★When the internal temperature is 81℃, the reducing power charging mode which reduce the charging power of 5%,10%,20%,40% every increase 1 ℃is turned on. If the internal temperature is greater than 85℃, the controller will stop charging. But while the temperature decline to be below 75 º C, the controller will resume. 6.2 Troubleshooting ...
