Page 5: General Description
Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS 2. General Description The MPPT RS is a solar charge controller intended to operate with a PV voltage of between 80-400V and designed to charge a 48V battery bank. 2.1. Features Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, a fast MPPT algorithm will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers. -
Page 6: Setup Options
Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS 2.3. Setup options Adaptive three step charging The SmartSolar MPPT Charge Controller is configured for a three step charging process: Bulk – Absorption – Float. A regular equalization charge can also be programmed. Bulk- During this stage the controller delivers as much charge current as possible to rapidly recharge the batteries. Absorption - When the battery voltage reaches the absorption voltage setting, the controller switches to constant voltage mode. -
Page 7: Installation
This product contains potentially dangerous voltages. It should only be installed under the supervision of a suitable qualified installer with the appropriate training, and subject to local requirements. Please contact Victron Energy for further information or necessary training. Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following: ·... -
Page 8: Mppt Grounding And Detection Of Pv Array Insulation Faults
Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS 3.2. MPPT grounding and detection of PV array insulation faults The MPPT RS will test for sufficient resistive isolation between PV+ and GND, and PV- and GND. In the event of a resistance below the threshold, the unit will stop charging, display the error, and send the error signal to the GX device (if connected) for audible and email notification. -
Page 9: Example Pv Configuration
Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS While functional with correct installation, BEWARE that the product warranty will be void if a PV array with a short circuit current larger than 20A array is connected in reverse polarity. You must keep the individual tracker inputs isolated from each other. That means one solar PV array per input, do not attempt to connect the same array to multiple tracker inputs. -
Page 10: Cable Connection Sequence
Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS 3.5. Cable connection sequence First: Confirm correct battery polarity, connect the battery. Second: if required, connect the remote on-off, and programmable relay Third: Confirm correct PV polarity, and then connect the solar array (if incorrectly connected with reverse polarity, the PV voltage will drop, the controller will heat up but will not charge the the battery). -

Page 13: Battery Settings
Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS 3.10.2. Battery settings Battery voltage The MPPT RS is fixed to 48V, and is only available for 48V systems. Max charge current Allows the user to set a lower maximum charge current. Charger enabled Toggling this setting turns the Solar Charger off. The batteries will not be charged. This setting is intended only for use when carrying-out work on the installation. - Page 14 Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS Battery voltage Vb (@start-up) Multiplier Maximum absorption times > 11.9 V Vb < 12.2 V x 2/3 04:00 hours > 12.2 V Vb < 12.6 V x 1/3 02:00 hours Vb > 12.6 V x 2/6 01:00 hours The multiplier is applied to the maximum absorption time setting and this results in the maximum duration of the absorption period used by the charger.
- Page 15 Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS Tail current Set the current threshold that will be used to finish absorption phase before the maximum absorption time expires. When the battery current gets below the tail current for one minute, the absorption phase will end. This setting can be disabled by setting it to zero.

Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS 3.10.3. Programmable relay A programmable relay switch is available on some SmartSolar models. The datasheet for your model will tell you whether or not it is available. The relay offers three connections: 1. NO (Normally Open) 2. - Page 17 Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS 9. Float or Storage state. This option switches the relay ON when the charger is in the float state. 10. Day detection (Panels irradiated). This option switches the relay ON whilst the solar panels are providing energy (Day/Night detection).

Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS 4.2. STATUS - Live Data Information • MPPT [Model Number] confirms the connected device. A custom name can also be set if desired. • Solar 'Gauge' icon shows the dynamic real-time power output from the solar array. With regard to the Solar Panel voltage, note that the Solar charger will only operate once the Panel voltage has risen more than 5V above battery voltage. -
Page 20: History - Thirty-Day Graphic
Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS Is my battery being charged? The battery will be charged whenever the power available from the PV panels exceeds the power being drawn by the loads (lights, fridge, inverter, etc.). You can only tell if that is the case with Charge Controllers which have all loads connected to the load output terminals. Remember: any loads connected directly to the battery can't be monitored by the Solar Charger. - Page 21 Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS Figure 4. MPPT Tracker view Page 19 Operation...
