  • Page 3: Important Safety Instructions

    Never charge a frozen battery. Be sure battery is mounted in a well ventilated compartment. Add distilled water in each cell of a lead-acid battery until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. Blue Sky Energy | USA | www.blueskyenergyinc.com...
  • Page 4: Product Description

    Blue Sky Energy - Solar Boost 3024(D)iL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Solar Boost™ 3024iL is multi-stage Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) photovoltaic battery charge controller capable delivering up to 30A or 40A depending on PV modules and battery voltage. The auxiliary output can serve as either a 2A auxiliary battery charger, or as a 20A load controller with or without variable Dusk-to-Dawn lighting control.
  • Page 5: Charge Status Indicator

    When mounted vertically as described in the installation section, the 3024 can deliver full output in an ambient temperature of up to 40C (104F). If an over temperature condition exists, the 3024 will cycle on/off, reducing average power delivery to within safe limits. During thermal shutdown the Charge Status Indicator will display an OFF condition. Blue Sky Energy | USA | www.blueskyenergyinc.com...
  • Page 6: Optional Temperature Compensation

    Blue Sky Energy - Solar Boost 3024(D)iL OPTIONAL TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION The optional battery temperature sensor automatically adjusts charge voltage setpoints based on battery temperature which enhances battery performance and life, and decreases maintenance. The default compensation factor of 5.00mV/C/cell is suitable for most lead- acid chemistry batteries.

  • Page 8: Battery And Pv Voltage

    Blue Sky Energy - Solar Boost 3024(D)iL Battery and PV Voltage  ➢ Nominal battery and PV voltage are determined automatically. The battery is considered to be 12V if battery voltage when first connected is less than 16V, or 24V if battery voltage is greater. PV voltage is also determined automatically.
  • Page 9: Output Current Display

    Do not connect to the 20A Load terminal for auxiliary battery charge.  ➢ (*) The LOAD indicator light will be ON whenever power is available at the Load and Auxiliary Battery Charge terminals. Blue Sky Energy | USA | www.blueskyenergyinc.com...
  • Page 10: Auxiliary Battery Charge

    Blue Sky Energy - Solar Boost 3024(D)iL AUXILIARY BATTERY CHARGE – DIP #4 OFF The auxiliary charge function is used to charge an auxiliary battery of the same voltage as the primary battery. If the primary battery is charging in Absorption (Acceptance) or Float, up to 2A is diverted to the auxiliary battery at roughly the same charge voltage. Auxiliary battery charge is disabled during bulk or equalization.
