Buttons
1: MENU: Switches between the different operating settings
2: MPPT DEMO:
a: Pushing this button can track the max power point of the solar panel connected to
this controller
It will calculate the difference between the output of the MPPT controller as
compared to a standard PWM controller, and
show the increased efficiency as a percentage
b: When changing settings, and with the parameters to be changed showing on the
display,
use this button to cycle between fields. e.g. Hrs, Min etc.
3: + ( Manual ON)
a: In manual output mode, the load will be turned on
b: On the display when setting parameters，adds 1 to the current value
4: - ( Manual OFF)：
a: In Manual output mode, the load will be switched off
b: On the display when setting parameters，deducts 1 from the current value

LCD display

Battery voltage choose

Please program the right system voltage according to your battery

voltage, the controller can’t work normally before the correct system
voltage setting.
If you want change the system voltage , please disconnect the
controller for 20 seconds, then you can reset the system voltage.

a: BAT 13.2V：Shows the battery voltage in real time (13.2V)

b: 08.88A：Shows the charging current in real time (8.88A)
The value showing is higher than the solar panel output current
c: 117W : Shows the power output equal to the voltage*current
(13.2*8.88=117W)
d: M2：Output mode (from 1-5)
e: ON：Shows if the MPPT function is on or off
f: BULK: Shows the MPPT controller status
1：Sleeping: The controller is sleeping, the current is at the minimum
2：Snoozing: Charging current <0.5A
3：BULK: MPPT the best status
4：ABSORB: constant current charging status, no MPPT function at this

time
5：FLOAT: float charging status, no MPPT function
g: Total 10000WH shows the total power output by this MPPT controller since
install

Function and Parameter setting

Note 1: Please adjust the clock to the right time when you first connect the controller
2: The MPPT controller keeps the latest setting in memory when you change the
value of the constant charging voltage, discharge protective voltage,
discharge restart voltage, float voltage and output mode etc.

1、Over charge voltage setting

1、push “MENU” until the display shows ABSORB
2、push“+”or“-”to change the value
3、push“MENU”again to return to the main screen

2、Float voltage setting

1、push“MENU”until the display shows FLOAT
2、push“+”or“-”to change the value
3、push“MENU”again to return to the main screen
3、Over discharge protection voltage setting
1、push“MENU”until the display shows OVER
2、push“+”or“-”to change the value
3、push“MENU”again to return to the main screen
4、Discharge restart voltage setting
1、push “MENU” until the display shows RESTART
2、push“+”or“-”to change the value
3、push“MENU”again to return to the main screen
5、Time Setting

4、Push“MENU”again to return to the main screen

6、Output Mode

MODE1___Manual: Push + (ON) or – (OFF) the load will be turned on or off

MODE2___Always: Constant output to the load terminals
MODE3___CDS_D/CDS_L + H: light sensor+timer output (by Hour)
a: CDS_D (CDS_DARK）：The load will be turned on when there is no light
b: CDS_L (CDS_LIGHT)：The load will be turned on when there is light
The controller recognizes this by the solar panel voltage
c: Timer range: 0---15 Hours
1: ”Timer = 0” The load will be turned on at sunset and turned off at sunrise
2: “Timer > 0” The load will be turned on at sunset and turned off after the number of
hours set has elapsed

MODE4___BEGIN_TIME/END_TIME
Timer turns the load on and off automatically
1、When the BEGIN_TIME setting matches the time on the controller, the load will be turned on
2、When the END_TIME setting matches the time on the controller, the load will be turned off

MODE5___ CDS_D/CDS_L + /END_TIME

Light sensor mode for the load to be turned on + Timer for the load to be turned off
1、The load will be turned on when there is no more light
2、When the END_TIME setting matches the time on the controller, the load will be turned off

7：Output Mode Setting

1、Push “MENU” until the display shows “SET OUTPUT MODE”
2、When “SET OUTPUT MODE” is flashing push “ + ” or “ - ”to switch between the output
modes
3、Push “  ” to switch between the fields of the current output mode
4、Push “ + ”or “ - ” to set the parameter which is flashing
5、Push “MENU” again to return to the main screen

Special Functions
1、When the LCD shows “ABSORB” or “FLOAT”, the charging is not using MPPT,
it uses PWM to control the precise voltage to protect the battery
2、The converter in the MPPT is the buck type and only charges when the voltage
of the solar panel is higher than the battery voltage
3、The battery voltage must be higher than the over discharge protection setting,
this is the precondition for the load to be turned on under all output
modes
4、The load will be restarted when the battery voltage is higher than the voltage
selected in the over discharge protection setting
5、If the battery is over discharged under the timer output mode, the load will be
cut off, and only restarted when the battery is charged to above the restart voltage
setting
6、When the LCD backlight is off, pushing any button will switch it on again
The button doesn’t have any other effect on functions in this case
7、The LCD backlight switches off if there is no action for 30 seconds

Trouble Shooting

Problem Solution
The clock is different from your local time 1、 When first connected to the system, the clock defaults

to 12:00

Please set the clock to your local time

2、 The clock is accurate to within +/- 50 seconds per

month and should be reset occasionally
