SPECS:

System Voltage: 12/24 V Auto Select

Maximum out put current: 5A                                                  

Maximum PV power:  12V : 70W and 24V : 135W 

NB: If more PV power is connected, the controller will limit input power to the stated maximum. PV voltage must exceed Vbat + 5V for the controller to start. Thereafter minimum PV voltage is Vbat + 1V.

Maximum PV open circuit voltage: 75V 

Maximum efficiency: 98%                                              

Self-consumption: 10 mA 

Charge voltage 'absorption' : Default setting: 14,4 V / 28,8 V (adjustable)

Charge voltage 'float' :   Default setting: 13,8 V / 27.6 V (adjustable)

Charge algorithm : Multi-stage adaptive

Temperature compensation: -16 mV/ °C resp.-32 mV/ °C

Continuous / peak load current: 15A/50A

Low voltage load disconnect: 11,1V / 22.2V  or 11.8V / 23,6V or Battery Life algorithm

Low voltage load reconnect: 13,1V / 26.2V or 14V / 28V or Battery Life algorithm

Protection: Battery reverse polarity (fuse) / Output short circuit / Over temperature

Operating temperature: 30 to +60 °C (full rated output to 40 °C)

Humidity: 95% non-condensing

Data communication port: VE.Direct 

Enclosure: Colour - Blue (RAL 5012) with terminals (fine / single wire) 6 mm 2 / AWG10

Application: ONE PV string

Battery type: Lead acid, lead crystal, AGM/GEL and Lithium ion.

Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra fast MPPT controller will

improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower

MPPT controllers.

Load output

Over-discharge of the battery can be prevented by connecting all loads to the load output. The load output will

disconnect the load when the battery has been discharged to a pre-set voltage.

Alternatively, an intelligent battery management algorithm can be chosen: see Battery Life.

The load output is short circuit proof.

Some loads (especially inverters) can best be connected directly to the battery, and the inverter remote control

connected to the load output.  A special interface cable may be needed, refer to the manual.

Battery Life: intelligent battery management

When a solar charge controller is not able to recharge the battery to its full capacity within one day, the result is

often that the battery will continually be cycled between a ‘partially charged’ state and the ‘end of discharge’

state. This mode of operation (no regular full recharge) will destroy a lead-acid/lead crystal/AGM (GEL)/Lithium ion battery within weeks or months.

The Battery Life algorithm will monitor the state of charge of the battery and, if needed, day by day slightly

increase the load disconnect level (i.e. disconnect the load earlier) until the harvested solar energy is sufficient to

recharge the battery to nearly the full 100%. From that point onwards the load disconnect level will be modulated

so that a nearly 100% recharge is achieved about once every week.
