Important Safety Instructions Please reserve this manual for future review. This manual contains all instructions of safety, installation and operation of Tracer AN series controller ("the controller" is referred in this manual). General Safety Information Read all the instructions and warnings carefully before installation.
PV modules and operate under high temperature environment. With the adaptive three-stage charging mode based on digital control circuit, Tracer AN series controllers can effectively prolong the life-cycle of battery and significantly improve the system performance.
Utility or generator auto-control relays make it easy to compose the hybrid power system The remote temperature and the voltage sensor design will collect accurate data of battery temperature and voltage Isolated RS485 with 5VDC/200mA to protect output for no power devices with MODBUS protocol ...
sample distance less than 20m. CAUTION: If the temperature sensor is short-circuited or damaged, the controller will charge or discharge at the default temperature setting of 25 ºC. (3) When connect the controller to external devices, only one of the ports can be used; when use multiple controllers in parallel, the port are for cascaded use.
WARNING: The Battery Voltage Sensor Terminal and Load Control Delay Terminal should not mix, otherwise the controller may be damaged. 1.5 Accessories (optional) Acquisition of battery temperature for undertaking temperature compensation of control parameters, the standard length of the cable is 3m (length can be customized). The Remote Temperature Sensor RTS300R47K3.81A connects to the port on the controller.
2 Installation 2.1 General Installation Notes Before installation, please read through the entire installation instructions to get familiar with the installation steps. Be very careful when installing the batteries, especially flooded lead-acid battery. Please wear eye protection, and have fresh water available to wash and clean if any contact with battery acid. ...
