Page 3: General Description
1. General Description 1.1 PV voltage up to 100V The charge controller is able to charge a lower nominal-voltage battery from a higher nominal voltage PV array. The controller will automatically adjust to a 12 or 24V nominal battery voltage. 1.2 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... - Page 4 1.8 Flexible charge algorithm Fully programmable charge algorithm, and eight preprogrammed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch. 1.9 Adaptive three step charging The Controller is configured for a three step charging process: Bulk – Absorption – Float. 1.9.1. Bulk During this stage the controller delivers as much charge current as possible to rapidly recharge the batteries.

Page 7: Installation
3. Installation WARNING: DC (PV) INPUT NOT ISOLATED FROM BATTERY CIRCUIT. CAUTION: FOR PROPER TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION THE AMBIENT CONDITION FOR CHARGER AND BATTERY MUST BE WITHIN 5°C, 3.1. General Mount vertically on a non-flammable substrate, with the power terminals facing downwards. Mount close to the battery, but never directly above the battery (in order to prevent damage due to gassing of the battery). - Page 8 WARNING: WHEN A GROUND FAULT IS INDICATED, BATTERY TERMINALS AND CONNECTED CIRCUITS MAY BE UNGROUNDED AND HAZARDOUS. (also see the MPPT Excel sheet on 3.3 PV configuration our website) Provide a means to disconnect all current-carrying conductors of a photovoltaic power source from all other conductors in a building or other structure.

- Page 11 3.7 Battery charging information The charge controller starts a new charge cycle every morning, when the sun starts shining. Default setting: The maximum duration of the absorption period is determined by the battery voltage measured just before the solar charger starts up in the morning: Battery voltage Vb (@start- Maximum absorption time...
- Page 12 3.8 Automatic equalization Automatic equalization is default set to ‘OFF’. With the Victron Connect app (see sect 1.10) this setting can be configured with a number between 1 (every day) and 250 (once every 250 days). When automatic equalization is active, the absorption charge will be followed by a voltage limited constant current period.
