Important note

Please carefully read these operating instructions
operation of the charge controller!
[ ! ]
Important notes:
·
Only connect solar modules as voltage sources – do not connect
any wind generators or other charging devices.
·
The off-load voltage Uoc of the solar system must not exceed 50V;
otherwise, the controller may be permanently damaged (see type
plate of the module).
·
A faulty or totally discharged battery (U < 8,5 V) must not be
recharged using the FOX-260 due to safety reasons.
·
All precautions regarding work with batteries and power electronics
must be observed.
·
All battery cables to the controller must be fuse-protected in
accordance with to the used wire cross section, these components
are not included in the scope of supply.
·
The controller must not get in contact with water or condensing
humidity and is to be protected against direct solar radiation.
·
No nickel-cadmium, nickel-metallic hydride, lithium-ion, lithium-
polymer batteries must be connected to the FOX-260.
·
Only use the controller in closed rooms.

Description
FOX-260
We are pleased that you decided on the FOX-260 with cutting edge
control engineering and illuminated display.
The controller is characterized by its ease of operation and elegant
design. The specifically developed charge characteristic curves will
extract the maximum power from your solar modules and store it
completely in the batteries. We hope you will enjoy your solar
installation.
The FOX-260 is a solar charge controller for modulated currents up to
20 A, suitable for AGM, gel and lead acid batteries. Consumers can be
connected up to a current consumption of 20 A maximum.
The adaptive total discharge protection monitors and protects the
battery against damaging total discharge, and alternatively the
nightlight function can be used. When using the nightlight function, a
consumer will be switched on during the time the modules do not
supply charge current (i.e. when it is dark). Ideal for the operation of an
orientation light or small lights for the prevention of break-ins.
The optimised charge characteristic curve in combination with the
hardware PWM control achieves a distinctly faster and gentler
charging of the battery; hazardous gassing or overcharging are safely
prevented.
On switching on, the controller recognises fully automatically whether
a 12 V or 24 V battery system is connected. The active battery cut-out
ensures the protection against reverse current and allows for an
extremely low voltage drop between module and battery.
