4.OPERATIONS SUNCONTROL2 charges up to two batteries: one service battery (B1) and one starter battery (B2), with priority charging to the service battery. SUNCONTROL2 will start charging the batteries if the following conditions are satisfied: 1. The connected Solar Panels deliver a voltage 1V higher than the voltage of the batteries to be recharged.

6. N-BUS NETWORK AND CONTROLLERS N-BUS devices can be networked for optimal operation of the entire NDS energy system. To start setting up your new energy system, simply connect two or more N-BUS devices with the optional data cable, available in va ri o u s l e n g t h s ( B C03 M , B C0 6 M o r B C 1 0 M ) .
7. INSTALLATION Place the SUNCONTROL2 on the chosen surface and secure the entire device using the fixing holes integrated in the shell with the supplied screws or equivalent (Fig.1). Fig. 1 All electrical and setup connections are on the front, it is not necessary to disassemble the plastic shells, except for the protection fuse replacement.

8. CHARGING CURVE SELECTION The Dip Switches, located next to the power connections, allow you to select the proper charging curve for the installed services battery, use the table to set the correct curve for your battery. The Dip Switches affect the B1 charging curve (leisure battery), not B2 (starter battery).
NOTE • The default setting is Curve 1 for GEL batteries - desulphation OFF. • In order to safeguard the battery, with an ambient temperature below 0°C, the LiFePO charge curve will not be started. CHARGING CURVE B1 - PHASE DISCUSSION With voltage between 8V and 10.5V, a current between 1A and 2A will be delivered, every 5 PULSE CHARGE...

With battery voltage equal to Vmax (Maximum voltage of the selected charging curve), will be delivered a costant voltage equal to the ABSORPTION selected curve Vmax. The delivered current will CHARGE decrease as the battery state of charge increases till about 3A. Timeout 6 hours. An approximately 2A constant current will be delivered, allowing the battery voltage to rise independently to the maximum value of 15.8V.
9. LED INDICATORS The two LEDs on the upper part of the device, marked B1 and B2, allow you to quickly understand the charge status of the connected battery. Each LED can emit different colors referred to a precise state of charge of the battery, the table below explains the relationship between the LED color and the battery state of charge.
10.FUSE REPLACEMENT If the protective fuse on the SUNCONTROL2 electronic board is damaged, it can be replaced with the original replacement fuse (supplied) or with a common 25A (for SCE320) or 30A (for SCE360) automotive fuse. FUSE: • 25A (SCE320) •...
