according to the latest available technical standards. It comes with a number of outstanding features,
such as:
Maximum Power Point Tracking technology, which increases the efficiency of your PV system
Allows the use of less expensive solar panels for grid connection systems for 12/24V stand-alone systems
Automatically detects 12/24V system Voltage
Temperature-Compensated, Three-Stage I-U Curve Charge Regulation
Full electronic protection (Reverse Polarity, Over-Current, Short-circuit, Over-Temperature, etc.)
High efficiency
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 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.
