Dear Clients, Thanks for selecting the Magic series solar controller. Please take the time to read this user manual, as it will help you take full advantage of the controller's features. This manual gives important recommendations for installing programming, using and so on. Read it carefully in your own interest and pay attention to the safety recommendations in it please.
2, Product Over view Magic series solar controller is based on an advanced maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology developed, dedicated to the solar system, the controller conversion efficiency up to 98%. The controller can rapidly track the maximum power point(MPP) of PV array to obtain the...

High Voltage Strings and Grid-Tie Modules Another benefit of MPPT technology is the ability to charge batteries with solar arrays of higher nominal voltages. For example, a 12 Volt battery bank may be charged with a 12-, 24-, 36-, or 48-Volt nominal off-grid solar array. Grid-tie solar modules may also be used as long as the solar array open circuit voltage (Voc) rating will not exceed the maximum input voltage rating at worst-case (coldest) module temperature.

4.1.1 Battery voltage sensor For compensating possible cable losses during charging, two sense wires can be connected to measure voltage directly on the battery. Use wire with a cross-section of 0.75mm² and insert a 0.1 Amp fuse close to the battery. During battery charging, the charger will compensate the voltage drop over the DC cables up to a maximum of 3 Volt.
4.1.4 RS485 The charger is equipped with a RS485 port with RJ11 sockets, the RJ11 interface is defined as follows: Pin No. Definition 1 2 3 4 5 6 RS485-A RS485-B RJ11 for controller The RS485 interface on this charger is not galvanically isolated and can not be grounded.
5, Installation Please read all instructions and precautions in the manual before installing. It is recommended to remove the acrylic protective film covering the LCD screen before installation. 5.1 Installation Notes (1)Do not open the controller sheet metal case, only the terminal cover may be removed by a technical professional for installation.
5.3 PV Array The voltage on the PV input should never exceed 200V under any condition. The charger will be permanently damaged if the input voltage is too high. Cable strain relief must be provided, close to PV and battery connectors. 5.3.1 PV cables As the core component of PV system, controller could be suitable for various types of PV modules and maximize converting solar energy into electrical energy.

5.4 Mounting Step 1: Determination of Installation Location and Heat-dissipation Space Do not mount the solar charge controller outdoors or in wet rooms. Do not subject the solar charge controller to direct sunshine or other sources of heat. Protect the solar charge controller from dirt and moisture.
Page 15
Step 4: Connecting the battery voltage sensor The external battery voltage sensor cable allows the controller to directly measure the voltage at the battery. This voltage value can be used for compensation of voltage drops across the battery cables. This means that the voltage measurement is not affected by powerdependent voltage drops across the battery cables.

*When the internal temperature exceeds 65℃, the mode of charging power reduction is started, and the charging power decreases 10% for every 5℃ increase of internal temperature. If the internal temperature is higher than 85℃, the controller will stop charging. But when the temperature drops below 75℃, the controller will resume working at 70% of rated power.
