THE MPPT SUPERCHARGER

We suggest you initially hang on to your packaging, at least until you’ve used
the product for a little while. The MPPT Supercharger doesn’t require special
packaging; however, if you encounter any problems it will be much easier to
ship in its original box.
Inspect the MPPT Supercharger for any damage that may have occurred
during shipping and handling. DO NOT use the MPPT Supercharger if it
appears damaged. Contact Inergy Tech Support for troubleshooting help first.
To install the MPPT Supercharger on your Flex system
The MPPT Supercharger contains two MPPT charge controllers. Each charge
controller is capable of receiving 16V to 90V of charge input, parallel or series,
with a charge rate of up to 380W. That’s a total charge rate of 760W in
addition to that of your Flex console.

As it charges your Flex system, the MPPT Supercharger may reduce/increase
the charge rate based on uctuations in the system, such as Flex console
output power, solar panel status (shading, less sun, etc.), battery temperature,
and charge level. If you see the charge rate changing on the LCD screen,
don't worry, the MPPT Supercharger is functioning properly.
Once you connect the MPPT Supercharger to the rest of your Flex stack, it’s
best to leave it connected full time. Think of the modules as parts of a whole
that will work much more effectively together than apart.
We suggest you disconnect your solar arrays from your MPPT Supercharger
when not in use and when your Flex power console is removed. This will
ensure maximum system life and reduce the risk of damage from surges,
lightning, and other extraneous events. Disconnect the MC4 connections
before disconnecting the EC8 connector if your VOC is above 45V to reduce
the risk of electric shock.

Carefully place the MPPT Supercharger on the bottom of your Flex
stack and secure it in place by sliding each orange latch towards the
front of the system until it engages with the magnetic catch inside.
NOTE: Although you have the option of placing the MPPT Supercharger
anywhere in the stack, it will perform best when used at the bottom of
the stack.
NOTE: Because the Flex power console manages and enables the Flex
Battery(ies), it must be powered on for the MPPT Supercharger to
function correctly.

Congratulations on your new MPPT Supercharger! You should already have
a print copy of the Flex User Manual (it came with your Flex system). If not,
don’t worry, a digital version can also be found online. We highly recommend
you read the sections in the Flex User Manual that talk about the MPPT
Supercharger carefully.
In the meantime, here are a few quick tips to get your new MPPT Supercharger
set up with your Flex.
