2 General Information

2.1 Product Overview

Thank you for selecting SeaStar series Moisture proof solar controller
that adopts the most advanced digital technique and operates fully automatically. The
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) battery charging can greatly increase the lifetime of
battery. It has various unique functions and quite easy to use, such as:
 With aluminum case, circuit board encapsulation. Ideal for marine application
12/24V automatic recognition
High efficient Series PWM charging, increase the battery lifetime and improve the solar
system performance.
Use MOSFET as electronic switch, without any mechanical switch.
Gel, Sealed and Flooded battery type option.
Adopt temperature compensation, correct the charging and discharging parameters
automatically and improve the battery lifetime.
Electronic protection: Overheating, over charging, over discharging, overload, and short
circuit.
Reverse protection: any combination of solar module and battery.
The controller is for off-grid solar system, and protects the battery from being over
charged by the solar module and over discharged by the loads. The charging process has
been optimized for long battery life and improved system performance. The
comprehensive self-diagnostics and electronic protection functions can prevent damage
from installation mistakes or system faults.
Though the controller is easy to operate and use, please take your time to read this manual
and become familiar with it. This will help you make full use of all the functions and
improve your solar PV system.
