EH Automatically detects 12 24V system Voltage EH Temperature Compensated Three Stage I U Curve Charge Regulation E Full electronic protection Reverse Polarity Over Current Short circuit Over Temperature etc m High efficiency E DIN rail compatible Negative ground This manual gives important recommendations for installing and using the MPPT Read it carefully and mind the safety and usage recommendations at the end of this manual Major Functions The MPPT charges your battery much faster than a regular charge controller The MPPT protects the battery from being overcharged by the solar array The charging characteristics include several stages which include automatic adaptation to the ambient temperature The MPPT adjusts itself automatically to 12V or 24V system voltage The MPPT has a number of safety and display functions Recommendations for Use The MPPT warms up during normal operation if there is insufficient ventilation e g in an installstion cabinet the controller limits the solar charge current to prevent overheating The MPPT does not need any maintenance or service Remove dust with a dry tissue It is important that the battery is fully charged frequently at least monthly Otherwise the battery will be permanently damaged A battery can only be fully charged if not too much energy is drawn during charging Keep this in mind especially if you install additional loads Mounting and Connecting The
4. MPPT is intended for indoor use only Protect it from direct sunlight and place it in a dry environment Never install it in humid rooms like bathrooms The MPPT measures the ambient temperature to determine the charging voltage The MPPT and the battery must be installed in the same room The MPPT warms up during operation and should therefore be installed on a non flammable surface only NOTE Connect the MPPT by following the steps described below to avoid installation problems O Please see Fig 1 2 and 3 that show how to install the MPPT on a standard 35mm DIN Rail Make sure that the ventilation slits are unobstructed Mount Din Rail onto the vertical surface Mount MPPT in a way that ensures there is enough space below and above for the air to vertically flow through the ventilation slots Connect the wires leading to the solar array with the proper polarity To avoid any voltage from the wires first connect the controller then the solar array Mind the recommended wire size see table in chapter Recommended wiring for MPPT100 30 Close the cover of solar side NOTE Place the positive and the negative wires close to each other to minimize electromagnetic effects NOTE Solar panels provide voltage as soon as exposed to sun light Mind the solar panel manufacturer s recommendations O ef o elle Open the cover at the battery side Connect the wires leading to the battery with the corr
