E024U Solar Kit

2
This solar kit allows to use the E024U control board with the
power. generated by a solar panel. Thanks to the high per-
formance built in solar charger/controller the battery can be
charged quickly and reliably while the low power idle mode on
the E024U allows for smooth operation
Due to the different power requirements of different operator
types we have two versions of this kit:
3352.1 Kit for Electromagnetic operators
3353.1 Kit for Hydraulic operators

1. Status LED
An LED indicator that shows charging status and also
indicates when a solar input fault condition exists.
2. Power Terminal Block
Power terminations for system Solar, Battery, and Load
connections.
3. Battery Select Jumper
A removable jumper to select the battery type.
4. Local Temperature Sensor
Measures ambient temperature. Battery regulation is ad-
justed based on ambient temperature changes.
5. Battery Status LEDs
Provides approximate battery state of charge indication
and also indicates when a system or load fault condition
exists.

As soon as the batteries are connected the solar control-
ler will start a self checking procedure, the battery status
LED will blink in sequence and stop at the corresponding
charge level
Plug the solar panel to the cables that go to the terminal
block:
Connect the supplied cable with MC4 connectors to the
solar panel terminal block, make sure to follow the draw-
ing below for the proper polarity
Connect Earth Ground to the negative pole of the solar
panel
Connect the battery to the corresponding terminal block.

If the solar panel has enough exposure to light the green
Status LED will be ON
Turn the Control Board power ON using the circuit
breaker. If the battery voltage is below 26V the board will
turn on right away, if the battery voltage is above 26V the
board will go through a batch of internal testing before
turning on. The tests will last about 40 sec.
NOTE:
The Charger / Controller is supplied by default for use
with sealed batteries. If ooded batteries are used remove

BATTERY STATUS LEDS
The Battery Status LEDs (Fig. 2 ref. (5) ) indicate the level
of charge on the battery. The indication is based only on bat-
tery voltage setpoints, which provides an approximation of
the actual state of charge of the battery.

STATUS LED
The Status LED (Fig. 2 ref. (1) ) indicates charging status
and any existing solar input error conditions. The Status LED
is on when charging during the day and off at night. The Sta-
tus LED will ash red whenever an error condition(s) exists.

5. SOLAR CONTROLLER LED INDICATION
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
Note:
A solid red Status LED indicates that a critical fault has
been detected. Critical faults typically indicate that the
controller is damaged and requires service.
LED error indications can be interpreted as follows:
“R - G sequencing” means that the Red LED is on, then
the Green LED is on, then Red LED is on....
“R&G - Y sequencing” means that both the Red LED and
Green LED are on, then just the Yellow LED is on, then
Red and Green LED are on....
Solar Overload
If the solar current exceeds the maximum solar rating, the
controller will stop charging until the solar current returns
to within its operational rating.
High Voltage Disconnect
The battery voltage has exceeded the controller’s maxi-
mum regulation limit of 30.6V . The solar and load will be
disconnected until the battery voltage decreases to the
reconnect threshold of 28V.
High Temperature Disconnect
The heatsink temperature has exceeded 185 °F (85 °C)
and the solar and load is disconnected. The controller will
automatically reconnect when the heatsink cools to 176 °F
(80 °C).
Load Overcurrent
If the load current exceeds the maximum load current rat-
ing, the controller will disconnect the load.
The controller will attempt to reconnect the load two (2)
times approximately 10 seconds apart. If the overcurrent
condition remains after the rst two (2) attempts, the fault
must be cleared by removing and reapplying power.
This error can also indicate a reverse polarity on the bat-
tery. Check wiring.
