Controller Features

The PWM solar charge controller is used for solar charging of batteries from a 12V or 24V solar panel. It features a low voltage disconnect control on the load output to prevent battery damage. It has an LCD screen to display solar, battery and load voltages and currents.

1. User-friendly key press operation; simpler and easier.
2. 5V USB power port for charging mobile devices.
3. Multiple load output control mode selections: light control, light + time, test & debug, manual and always-on modes are supported.
4. Industrial grade design for operation in harsh environments.
5. Full range of electrical protections; Solar & battery disconnect protection, battery over-discharge, system over-voltage, etc.
6. All common battery types are supported: AGM, GEL, Flooded Lead Acid and Li-Ion.
7. 12/24V Battery Voltage Auto Select for all lead acid types of battery.
8. PWM 3 Phase Charging – Equalize, Boost, Float.
9. Supports 20A on solar input and 20A on load output.

MODE NUMBER	DEFINITION	DESCRIPTION
0	Light switch control	The PV voltage turns on the load switch in time of light control delay
1~14	Light + Time control	The PV voltage turns on the load switch and shut it down in time of settings
15	Manual switch	Turns on/off the load by press the load button
16	Testing switch	Turns on the load immediately with no delay and then turns off
17	Always on	The load keeps on until battery low voltage disconnect

Controller Error List & Recovery

CODE	DRROR	ANALYSIS	RECOVER SOLUTION
E00	No error	--	--
E01	Over-discharged	The battery voltage has been discharged to a low level, load cuts off	Recover once the battery voltage return to the normal level. Load is allowed to turn on then.
E02	Battery over voltage	The battery voltage has exceeded the max level.	Recover once the battery voltage return to normal level.
E04	Load short circuit	The load gets short circuited	Check the wiring and loading condition.
E05	Load over loaded	The load power has exceeded the rated value	Check and decrease the load power requirement.
E06	Device over heating	The controller gets too hot in high temperature, the charge cuts off	Get the device cooler to decrease the temperature
E08	Charge power over rated	The input power has exceeded the max rated value	To decrease the input power
E10	PV over voltage	The PV input voltage is too high	To decrease the input voltage
E13	PV anti- connection	The PV side has anti-connection	Check and re-connect the PV wires in right position
E14	Battery anti-connection	The battery side has anti-connection	Check and re-connect the Battery wires in right position
