1. General Information 1.1 Overview Tracer AN series controller is based on common negative design and advanced MPPT control algorithm, with LCD displaying running status, this product is artistic, economical and practical. The MPPT control algorithm can minimize the maximum power point loss rate and loss time, quickly track the maximum power point of the PV array and obtain the maximum energy from solar modules under any conditions;... -

Page 6: Maximum Power Point Tracking Technology
1.4Maximum Power Point Tracking Technology Due to the nonlinear characteristics of solar array, there is a maximum energy output point (Max Power Point) on its curve. Traditional controllers, with switch charging technology and PWM charging technology, can’t charge the battery at the maximum power point, so can’t harvest the maximum energy available from PV array, but the solar charge controller with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Technology can lock on the point to harvest the maximum energy and deliver it to the battery. -
Page 7: Battery Charging Stage
In actual application, as shading from cloud, tree and snow, the panel maybe appear Multi-MPP, but in actually there is only one real Maximum Power Point. As the below Figure 1-3 shows: 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. - Page 8 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 9 calculate the time of constant voltage working. When the accumulated time reach to 3 hours, the charging mode will turn to Float Charging. 2) If the controller time is not adjusted, the controller will equalize charge battery once every month following the inner time. C) Float Charging After the Constant voltage stage, the controller will reduce charging current to Float Voltage setpoint.

- Page 12 WARNING: When the power of PV module is greater than the rated charging power, and the maximum open-circuit voltage of PV array is more than 60(Tracer**06AN)/100V(Tracer**10AN)(at the lowest environmental temperature), the controller may be damaged. According to “Peak Sun Hours diagram”, if the power of PV array exceeds the rated charging power of controller, then the charging time as per the rated power will be prolonged, so that more energy can be obtained for charging the battery.

Page 13: Wire Size
2.3 Wire Size The wiring and installation methods must conform to all national and local electrical code requirements. 2.3.1 PV Wire Size Since PV array output can vary due to the PV module size, connection method or sunlight angle, the minimum wire size can be calculated by the Isc of PV array. -
Page 14: Mounting
CAUTION: 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. CAUTION: For the battery, the recommended wire will be selected according to the conditions that its terminals are not connected to any additional inverter. - Page 15 CAUTION: If the controller is to be installed in an enclosed box, it is important to ensure reliable heat dissipation through the box.
