  • Page 6: General Information

    1 General Information 1.1 Overview The Tracer-AN controllers, based on the multiphase synchronous rectification technology(MSRT) and advanced MPPT control algorithm, adopt a dual-core processor and co-negative design. This help features the controllers with fast response characteristics, high reliability, and industrial standards. MSRT guarantees a high conversion efficiency in any charging power, which sharply improves the solar system's energy efficiency.

  • Page 16 Step 4:Grounding Tracer-AN series are common-negative controllers. Negative terminals of the PV array, the battery can be grounded simultaneously, or any terminal is grounded. However, according to the practical application, the PV array's negative terminals, battery, and load can also be ungrounded. Simultaneously, the grounding terminal on the shell must be grounded, which effectively shields the electromagnetic interference from the outside and prevents some electric shock to the human body.
