1.1 Product overview
The Shiner series controller adopts the industry-leading MPPT to achieve the maximum energy tracking
for the solar panel, that is, it can quickly and accurately track the maximum power point of the solar battery
on any condition, and obtain the maximum energy of the solar panel in real time, significantly improving
the energy utilization rate of the solar system. It is widely used as the core control component in the
off-grid PV systems to manage the work of solar panels, batteries, and loads. Besides, it has complete
software and hardware fault detection and protection functions to avoid damage to product components
caused by installation errors and system faults to the greatest extent.
The Maximum PowerPoint Tracking (MPPT) system is an advanced charging technology with more
energy output from the solar batteries by adjusting the operating state of the electrical modules. Due to
nonlinearity of the solar battery array, there is a maximum power point on its curve. The PWM charging
technology used in the traditional controller cannot charge the battery continuously at the point, so it
cannot obtain the maximum energy of the solar panel. Instead, the solar controller with MPPT can
always track the maximum power point of the array, so as to charge the battery with maximum energy.
For example, for the 12V solar system, since the peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp) of the solar battery is about
17V, but the battery voltage is about 12V, therefore, when the common charge controller is charging the
battery, the voltage of the solar battery is about 12V, that is, the solar battery does not fully exert its

The maximum power point often changes due to the different ambient temperature and lighting
conditions. And the MPPT controller is able to adjust the parameters in real-time under different
conditions, thus making the system status always near the maximum operating point. The whole
process is completely automatic without any adjustment.

Select such battery types as SLD/FLD/GEL/USE, and select the appropriate system voltage.
As shown in Fig. 4-1, the charging stages of lead-acid battery are: MPPT charging, constant voltage charging (equalizing/
boost/floating charging), and current-limiting charging.The constant voltage charging is divided into three stages:
equalizing charging, boost charging and floating charging:[MPPT charging] When the battery voltage has not reached the
target constant voltage value, the controller will perform MPPT charging. When the battery voltage reaches the constant
voltage value, it will automatically exit MPPT charging and switch to constant voltage charging (equalizing/boosting/
floating charging).
[Equalizing charging] Regular equalizing charging is good for some batteries. Equalizing charging is mainly to make the
charging voltage of battery higher than the standard supplementary voltage, besides, it can vaporize the battery electrolyte
to balance the battery voltage and complete relevant chemical reaction. Equalizing charging and boosting charging are
not repeated during one full charging to avoid excessive gas evolution or overheating of the battery.
Notes:
1) Since the equalizing charging of floored lead-acid battery produces explosive gas, the battery compartment must be
well ventilated.
2) Although the equalizing charging elevates the battery voltage, it may damage the level of sensitive DC loads,
therefore, it is necessary to verify that the allowable input voltage of all loads in the system is greater than the set battery
voltage value in equalizing charging.
3) Excessive charging and excessive gas evolution may damage the battery plate and cause the active substances on the
battery plate to fall off.Besides, excessive high equalizing charging voltage or excessive long equalizing charging
duration may damage the battery. Please set relevant parameters according to the specifications of the battery used in the
system.
[Boost charging] The duration of boost charging is 2 h (default). When the duration reaches the set value, the system will
switch to floating charging.
[Floating charging] Floating charging is the last constant voltage charging stage in the charging cycle of lead-acid battery.
The controller keeps the charging voltage constant at the floating charging voltage. At this stage, the battery is charged
with a very weak current to ensure that the battery is in full-charging. When the battery voltage is as low as the reconnect
voltage of boost charging, the system will exit the floating charging stage and re-enter the next charging cycle.

As shown in Fig. 4-2, the charging stages of lithium battery are: MPPT charging/boost charging/
current-limiting charging.
[MPPT charging] When the battery voltage does not reach the target constant voltage value, the controller
conducts MPPT charging to charge the battery with maximum solar power, when reaches, it automatically
switches to boost charging.
[Boost charging] In the boost charging stage of lithium battery, when the battery voltage is lower than
the boost charging voltage, the system conducts MPPT charging or current-limiting charging, when
reaches, it switches to boost charging.

Perform system current limiting and thermostatic control;
Check to see if the system has reset charging current
Other problems or exceptions difficult to
resolve
Try to reboot (F01) or reset controller (F02), and reset
relevant parameters again as per system configurations.
Be careful!

Charging stops as the charging cut-off current conditions
are met. When the voltage is below the boost charging
reconnect voltage, the charging will be automatically
resumed
There is a system alarm code See "12. System alarms" for details

connected.

Over-temperature protection of device
When the internal temperature of the controller exceeds the set value, the charging power will be
automatically lowered or the charging will even be stopped, further slowing the rise in internal temperature
of the controller.
15. Protection Functions
Battery over-temperature protection
Battery over-temperature protection requires an external battery temperature sampling sensor. Charging
will be stopped when the battery temperature is detected to be too high, and will be automatically resumed
when the battery temperature drops to 5°C below the set value for 2s.
Input over-power protection
When the battery panel power is greater than the rated power, the controller will limit the charging power
within the rated power range to prevent excessive current from damaging to the controller, and the controller
will enter current-limited charging.
PV input side too high voltage protection
When the voltage at the input side of the PV array is too high, the controller will automatically cut off PV
input.
PV input reverse-connection protection
The controller will not be damaged if the polarity of the PV array is reversed and will return to normal after
the wiring error is corrected.
Reverse charging protection at night
Prevent the battery from discharging through solar battery at night.
16. System Maintenance
In order to maintain the optimal operating performance of the controller for a long time, it is recommended that
the following items are regularly checked.
Make sure that the airflow around the controller is not blocked, and remove any dirt or debris from the
radiator.
Take corrective actions timely after any fault or error is found.
Check whether there is corrosion, insulation damage, high temperature or burning/discoloring at terminals,
case distortion, etc., and repair or replace timely if any.
Check whether there is any exposed or broken wire or wire with poor insulation, and repair or replace timely
if any.
Check whether there is dirt, nesting insects or corrosion, and clean timely if any.
Warning: There is a risk of electrical shock! Before carrying out checks or operations above, make sure
that all power supplies for the controller are disconnected!
Any non-professional personnel is prohibited from carrying out such operations.
14.2 Installation steps
When connecting the system, the output voltage of the components may exceed the human body
safety voltage, therefore, use insulated tools and keep your hands dry.
The battery terminals on the controller can be connected either to a single battery or a battery pack.
The subsequent instructions are for a single battery, but they are also applicable to systems with a
battery pack.
Please follow the safety recommendations of the battery manufacturer.
The system connection cables selected shall have a current density ≤4A/mm2.
Ground the ground terminal of the controller.
When installing the battery, it is forbidden to reverse the battery connection, which may cause
irreversible damage.
19 20
Wiring and installation must meet the requirements of national and local electrical codes. Wiring
specifications shall be selected according to the rated current, generally, 5 A/mm 2.
Step 1: Select an installation location
Do not install the controller in a place with direct sunlight, high temperature, or where water can easily
enter, and make sure the controller is well ventilated.
Step 2: Fix suspension screws
Mark the mounting position according to the mounting dimensions of the controller, drill two mounting
holes of suitable size at the two marks and fix the screws on the two mounting holes.
Step 3: Fix the controller
Align the controller fixing holes with the two pre-fixed screws to hang the controller up, and then fix the
two screws below.
Step 4: Open the front cover of the controller, wire, and then close the front cover.
