This revolutionary maximum power point tracker solar charger was

designed using the technology that won GSL Electronics the prestigious

"2008 EDN Innovation award". A simple, compact and low cost

alternative. Ideal for charging batteries with the new low cost and high

Important:

• Use only PV Systems with open circuit voltage below 55V and a V

and 34V for 24V Charging.

• Use wires suitable for at least 15a, but if wire runs are over 3m then larger wires are recommended to

limit voltage drop and losses.

• Install the unit in a dry place out of direct sunlight and away from flammable liquids or gases.

• Battery fuse ( BF ) is always required and must be located as close to the battery as possible, its sizing

depends on the wire size and load ratings. Typically a 15A 24V fuse would do.

• Locate the PV fuse (PVF) as close to the MPPT as possible (10A 60VDC Rating). PVF only mandatory

with high power panels.

• If used, this fuse is optional, locate the output fuse (of) as close to the MPPT as possible

(15A 24VDC rating).

• Before connecting battery always check battery and PV panel polarity.

Page 2 Please read these instructions before use Basic Wiring Instructions: Note: First start up may take up to one minute. MPPT12-1 General Information: • This MPPT is designed to auto detect 12V and 24V battery systems and select a suitable charge regime.
Page 3 • Minimum Maximum Power Point ( at the maximum operating temperature) must be above 17V for 12V batteries and 32V for 24V batteries to ensure full power. • When used with panels over 150W @ 12V or 200W @ 24V the MPPT12-1 MUST be fitted with the PVF fuse.
Page 4 MPPT. Q: Is interference possible? and If so what do I do? GSL’s MPPTs produce far less interference than conventional solar regulator during the absorption and float stages, that is during most of its operating time, and its designed to comply with local and international EMI standards however some interference is still possible.
