2 General Information

2.1 Product Overview

Thank you for selecting LandStar series solar light 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:
•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
•Widely used, automatically recognize day/night.
•Digital LED menu, only one key solve all setting simply
•Intelligent timer function with 1-15 hours option
• Unique dual timer function, enhance the flexibility of street light system.
• 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, especially in solar light 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.
