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 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: Battery And Battery Lead Requirements
Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS The positive and negative conductors of the PV array must be isolated from ground. Ground the frame of the PV array to local requirements. The ground lug on the chassis should be connected to the common earth. -
Page 9: Mppt Rs Example Pv Configuration
Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS The maximum open circuit voltage of the PV array must be less than 8 times the minimum battery voltage when at float. For example, where a battery has a float voltage of 54.0 volts, the maximum open circuit voltage of the connected array cannot exceed 432 volts. -

Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS 3.9.5. Programmable analog/digital input ports The product is equipped with 2 analog/digital input ports. The digital inputs are 0-5v, and when a input is pulled to 0v it is registered as 'closed' These ports can be configured in VictronConnect. For more information search Victron Community. 3.9.6. -
Page 13: Settings
Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS 3.10.1. Settings The settings page is accessed by clicking on the Cog icon at the top right of the Home page. The settings page provides access to view or change the settings of the Battery; Load; Streetlight; and Port functions. From this page you can also view Product information such as the Firmware versions installed on the MPPT Solar Charger. - Page 14 Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS User-defined presets will be stored in the preset library - in this way installers will not have to define all the values each time they are configuring a new installation. By selecting Edit Presets, or on the Settings screen (with expert mode on or not), custom parameters can be set as follows: Absorption voltage Set the absorption voltage.
- Page 15 Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS Duration of the Automatic equalization cycle In the case of all VRLA batteries and some flooded batteries (algorithm number 0, 1, 2 and 3) automatic equalization ends when the voltage limit (maxV) has been reached, or after a period equal to (absorption time/8) - whichever comes first. For all tubular plate batteries (algorithm numbers 4, 5 &...

Page 16: Programmable Relay
Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS Current and voltage limits are identical to the automatic equalize function. The duration of the equalisation cycle is limited to a maximum of 1 hour when triggered manually. Manual equalization can be stopped at any time by selecting 'Stop Equalize'. 3.10.3. - Page 17 Isolated SmartSolar MPPT RS 2. Clear panel high voltage. (User-defined Voltage) This option switches the relay ON when the panel voltage rises above the chosen “Panel high voltage” setting, and switches the relay OFF when the panel voltage falls below the chosen “Clear panel high voltage” setting. Ensure, of course, that the “Panel high voltage”...
