PRODUCT FEATURES
DEVICE DIAGRAM
Thank you for choosing our products. This MPPT solar charge controller is a
device for solar charge regulation and direct current output load control. This
device is mainly used in small and medium sized off-grid solar power
systems.
By continuously checking solar panel power output changes, the control-
lers employ multiple MPPT charge algorithms in combination to boost
charging efficiency in different weather and temperature conditions.
Built-in buffer, allows max 25% exceeding rated power input.
Charging modes available for most common deep-cycle battery types in
the market, including AGM (sealed lead acid batteries), GEL, Flooded, and
Lithium.
Provides multiple load control mode options for light based, time based and
manually adjusted scenarios. Low no-load loss.
Industrial grade design with reverse polarity protection for solar panels,
battery and load.
Built-in BT communication module for operation on mobile phone APP. For
extending BT transmission distance, you can also connect external BT
module (optional, not included in the package).
Auto recognition of 12V/24V/36V/48V battery system voltage. Lithium
battery excluded from this feature.
Supports recording of system running data including power generated and
power utilized for up to 300 days, compatible with monitoring App through
IOS and Android.
We have built-in BT communication module in this controller and we
provide APP ChargePro for mobile phone monitoring and operation. You
can search “ChargePro” and download the APP at IOS APP Store and
Google Play Store.
These MPPT charge controllers have features as follows:

Code Error Description & Quick Troubleshoot
E00 No Error No action needed.
E01 Battery
Over-discharged
Battery voltage is too low.
DC load will be turned off until battery
re-charges to recovery voltage.
E02 Battery
Over-voltage
Battery voltage has exceeded controller limit.
Check battery bank voltage for compatibility
with controller.
E04 Load Short Circuit DC load short circuit.
E10 Solar
Over-voltage
Solar array voltage exceeds controller rated
input voltage. Decrease the voltage of solar
panels connected to the controller.
E14 Battery
Reverse Polarity
Battery connection wires connected with
reverse polarity. Disconnect and re-connect
with correct wire polarity.
E05 Load Overload
DC load power draw exceeds controller
capability. Reduce load size or upgrade to a
higher load capacity controller.
E06 Overheating
Controller exceeds operating temperature
limit. Ensure the controller is placed in a
well-ventilated cool, dry place.
E07 Environmental
Overtemperature
The environment temperature sampled by
the external temperature probe is too high.
*Please contact professions for technical support on additional trouble-
shooting.
The variable “n” is adopted as a multiplying factor when calculating parame-
ter voltages, the rule for “n” is listed as: if battery system voltage is 12V, n=1;
24V, n=2; 36V, n=3; 48V, n=4.
For example, the equalize charge voltage for a 12V FLD (Flooded) battery
bank is 14.8V*1=14.8V. The equalizing charge voltage for a 24V FLD
(Flooded) battery bank is 14.8V*2=29.6V.
