1 Important Safety Information
Please inspect the controller thoroughly after it is delivered. If any
damage is seen, please notify the shipping company or our company
immediately.
2 General Information
LandStar BP series solar charge controller adopts the most advanced
digital technique and operates fully automatically. It’s Ideal for extreme
environments with corrosion, dust, water etc and has various unique
functions：
12V/24V automatic identify or user-defined working voltage.
High efficient Series PWM charging, increase the battery lifetime and
improve the solar system performance.
Use MOSFET as electronic switch, without any mechanical switch.
Multiple load control modes, increase the flexibility of the load output
Gel, Sealed, Flooded and user-defined battery type option.
Adopt temperature compensation, correct the charging and
discharging parameters automatically and improve the battery
lifetime.
New SOC method of calculating accurately displays the available
battery capacity.
LandStar BP has no keys , The control function and the switch
condition of the load can be modified by communication connection.
Electronic protection: Overheating, over charging, over discharging,
overload, and short circuit.
Reverse protection: any combination of solar module and battery.
With functions of current power calculation and real-time energy
statistics recording, it is convenient for users to view charging and
discharging energy of each day, month, year and total value.
Use of standard Modbus communication protocol for TTL-232 bus
connections, communication protocol compatibility much better
Support firmware upgrade

Fully encapsulated PCB, IP67 protection
Aluminumhousing
3 Installation Instructions
3.1 General Installation Notes
Be very careful when working with batteries. Wear eye protection.
Have fresh water available to wash and clean any contact with
battery acid.
Never short circuit the battery positive and negative terminals and
wires which may cause explosion or fire.
Install external fuses/breakers as required.
Disconnect the solar module and fuse/breakers near to battery
before installing or adjusting the controller.
Confirm that power connections are tightened to avoid excessive
heating from loose connection.
Uses insulated tools and avoid placing metal objects near the
batteries.
Explosive gasses may be present during charging. Be certain there is
sufficient ventilation to release the gasses.
Loose power connections and/or corroded wires may result in
resistive connections that melt wire insulation, burn surrounding
materials, or even cause fire. Ensure tight connections and use
cable clamps to secure cables and prevent them from swaying in
mobile applications.
Only charge the batteries that comply with the parameters of
controller.
Battery connection may be wired to one battery or a bank of batteries.
The following instructions refer to a singular battery, but it is implied
that the battery connection can be made to either one battery or a
group of batteries in a battery bank.

3.2 Wiring
1. Connect components to the charge controller in the sequence as
shown above picture and pay much attention to the “+”（Red）and
“-“（Black）.Always power the battery First.
2. After power the battery, check the battery indicator on the controller,
it will be green. If it’s not green, please refer to chapter 5.
3. The battery fuse should be installed as close to battery as possible.
The suggested distance is within 150mm.

4.2Setting Operation
Three methods to program the controller:
1–Remote Meter,MT50/MT100(Use dedicated TTL232 to RS485
communication cable with CC-TTL-RS485-200U）.
2–Super Parameter Programmer, SPP-01(Use dedicated TTL232 to
TTL232 communication cable with CC-TTL-TTL-150U）.
This method can realize one-key setting operation which is suitable for
bulk quantity products setting or applied in the projects.
3–PC monitoring setting software “Solar Station Monitor” （Use
dedicated TTL232 to USB communication cable with
CC-USB-TTL-150U）.
Through the remote meter and PC software, it can realize real-time
monitoring, modification of control parameter, charge mode, load work
mode, inquiry of failure information etc.

software for more details.

5 Protection, Troubleshooting
5.1 Protection
·PV Array Short Circuit
If PV array short circuit occurs, clear it to resume normal charge
automatically.
·Load Overload
If the load current exceeds the rated discharge current of controller
（≥1.05 times rated discharge current）, the controller will disconnect
the load. Once the overload occurs, the way to solve is to send a
“remote load switch”command or reset the controller after reducing
the load.
·Load Short Circuit
Fully protected against load wiring short-circuit（≥2 times rated
discharge current）. After one automatic load reconnect attempt, the
fault must be cleared by restarting the controller or sending a “remote
load switch” command.
·PV Reverse Polarity
Fully protection against PV reverse polarity, no damage to the
controller will result. Correct the miswire to resume normal operation.
·Battery Reverse Polarity
Fully protection against battery reverse polarity, no damage to the
controller will result. Correct the miswire to resume normal operation.

7
·Battery working voltage error
If battery voltage does not match controller working voltage, controller
will stop working. After correcting the voltage, the fault must be
cleared by restarting the controller or sending a “remote load switch”
command.
·Damaged Temperature Sensor
If the temperature sensor short-circuited or damaged, the controller
will be charging or discharging at the default temperature 25℃to
prevent the battery damaged from overcharging or over discharged.
·Overheating Protection
If the temperature of the controller heat sink exceeds 85C, the
controller will automatically start the overheating protection and stop
the charging and discharging. When the temperature is below 75℃, the
controller will resume to work.
·High Voltage Transients
PV is protected against smaller high voltage surge. In lightning prone
areas, additional external suppression is recommended.
Note: The controller has daily automatic fault recovery function
which will reduce the manual operation and can intelligently
eliminate the fault caused by non-actual hardware failure.
