Page 5: Production Instructions
1 Production Instructions Thank you for choosing the 0 layer Series of Solar Power Controllers. The controller uses numerical control technology design, LCD display, automatic operation. Its maximum power point tracking (MPPT) type battery charging mode, as well as control technology, will greatly extend the battery life. The controller features a smart tracking algorithm that maximizes the energy from the solar PV module(s) and charge the battery. -
Page 6: Features
1.1 Features ⚫ Integrated charge presets Integrated charge presets combined with adaptive charge logic are well suited for most common battery types, such as LiFePO4, Gel and flooded lead-acid. ⚫ Flexible Application Compatible with 12V/24V/36V/48V system voltage. ⚫ Multi-stage charge algorithm The multi-stage charge algorithm is specifically engineered to optimise each recharge cycle and charge maintenance over extended periods. - Page 7 ⚫ Silent operation Almost silent operation since there is no cooling fan or moving parts, cooling is via natural convection. ⚫ Lithium battery activation Compatible with Li-ion (LiFePO₄) batteries; when the battery type parameter is set to Lithium battery the charge cycle settings are altered to suit. Moreover, when the connected lithium battery is in a protected state, the controller will activate the lithium battery using the energy from the solar panel with a current that does not exceed the lithium battery's protection voltage and current range.

Page 16: Charging Mode
3 Charging Mode The charging controller is equipped with an intelligent 3-stage charge characteristic which takes care of an optimal charge of your batteries. When switched on, the controller always starts at Bulk stage. There are 3 integrated charge modes (Bulk, constant, float). Through the three stages of fast, efficient and safe battery charging mode, the system can effectively extend the battery life. -
Page 17: Alarm Function
➢ Bulk charge: The battery is charged at maximum charge current until the voltage increases to the configured boost charge voltage. The bulk stage duration is dependent on the battery’s level of discharge, the battery capacity and the charge current. When the battery voltage reaches the preset value of the Boost charging voltage, it starts to boost charging. -

Questions and answers
What are the specs for the DC load on a PowMr M-60 solar charge controller. One video on line showed a 32 Amp 2-pole circuit breaker. I have a 24 volt system. Does this mean the maximum load would be 768 watts?
