1 General Description 1.1 Ultra fast MPPT tracking 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. 1.2 BatteryLife: intelligent battery management 1.2.1.

1.5 Automatic battery voltage recognition The controller will automatically adjust itself to a 12V or a 24V system. 1.6 Three step charging The controller is configured for a three step charging process: Bulk – Absorption - Float. 1.6.1. Bulk stage During this stage the controller delivers as much charge current as possible to rapidly recharge the batteries.
2 Safety instructions Danger of explosion from sparking Danger of electric shock ● It is advised to read this manual carefully before the product is installed and put into use. ● This product is designed and tested in accordance with international standards. The equipment should be used for the designated application only.
3. Installation 3.1. General ● Mount vertically on a non-flammable substrate, with the power terminals facing downwards. ● Mount close to the battery, but never directly above the battery (in order to prevent damage due to gassing of the battery). ●...

3.3. Configuration of the controller (see figure 1 and 2 at the end of the manual)) A four pin header is available to select one of three battery management options: 3.3.1. No jumper: BatteryLife algorithm (see 1.2.2.) 3.3.2. Jumper between pin 1 and pin 2: conventional (see 1.2.1.) Low voltage load disconnect: 11,1V or 22,2V Automatic load reconnect: 13,1V or 26,2V 3.3.3.

3.7 Battery charging information The charge controller starts a new charge cycle every moring, when the sun starts shining. The maximum duration of the absorption period is determined by the battery voltage measured just before the solar charger starts up in the morning: Battery voltage Vb (@start-up) Maximum absorption time Vb <...
