TrakMax 30L User Manual
Revision 1.0
Important: Installations should meet all local codes and standards. Installations of this equipment should only
be performed by skilled personnel such as licensed electricians and Certified Renewable Energy (RE) System
Installers.
Caution: Install the Solar charge controller in a dry, protected location away from sources of high temperature,
moisture, and vibration. Corrosion is not covered by the warranty.
3.1 E
LECTROSTATIC
All electronic circuits may be damaged by static electricity. To minimize the likelihood of electrostatic damage,
discharge yourself by touching an electrical ground (e.g.: copper pipe) prior to handling the unit and avoid
touching components on the circuit boards. The risk of electrostatic damage is highest when relative humidity is
below 40%.
3.2 M
OUNTING
The mounting location is important to the performance and operating life of the controller. The environment must
be dry and protected from water. If required, the controller may be installed in a ventilated enclosure with
sufficient airflow. Never install the TrakMax MPPT in a sealed enclosure. The controller may be mounted in an
enclosure with sealed batteries, but never with vented/flooded batteries. Battery fumes from vented batteries will
corrode and destroy the TrakMax MPPT circuits.
1) Place the TrakMax on a vertical surface protected from direct sun, high temperatures, and water. The
TrakMax requires at least 6 in (150 mm) of clearance above and below and at least 1 in (25 mm) on
each side for proper air flow as shown in figure below.
