Dear Clients,
P it
will help you take full advantage of the controller's features. This manual gives important recommendations for installing, using, and
programming the solar controller. Read this manual in full before installing or connecting the solar controller.
Thanks for selecting the Smart-MPPT series solar controller. lease take the time to familiarise yourself with this user manual, as
1.Functions
Smart-MPPT series intelligent MPPT solar controller is
programmable , waterproof and well-suited for a wide
range of solar systems. The charging efficiency of this
controller is higher than a traditional PWM controller,
helping to get the most out of the solar panel.
It comes with a number of outstanding features, such
as:
Innovative Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT)
technology, tracking efficiency >99.9%
High charge conversion efficiency up to 97.5%
Adjustable 5-stage timer for load ouput
Monitoring of the running status and parameters
Suitable for Gel, Liquid, AGM and Lithium battery
Four stage charging: MPPT, boost, equalization, float
When BMS power off because of LVD, it can activate the
system automatically
Day/Night threshold can adjust automatically
Configurable with an LCD remote programmer (S-Unit)
Waterproof IP67, Strong and durable aluminum case
Full automatic electronic protect function
0℃ Charging Protection(Lithium)
2.1 Safety
①The solar charge controller may only be used in PV
systems in accordance with this user manual and with
solar panels specifications in line with the requirements
of this controller. No energy source other than solar
panels may be connected to the solar charge controller.
②Batteries store a large amount of energy, never short-
circuit a battery under any circumstances. We strongly
recommend connecting an in-line fuse or circuit-breaker
on the "+" wire between the battery and controller, no
more than 15cm from the battery terminal.
2.2
③Batteries can produce flammable gases. Avoid sparks
and flames near the batteries. Make sure the battery is
installed in a well ventilated area.
④Avoid touching or short circuiting wires or terminals. Be
aware that the voltages on special terminals or wires can
be several times greater than the battery voltage. Use
isolated tools and only perform any work in a dry
environment.
⑤Keep children away from batteries and the charge
controller.
Liability Exclusion
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damages to the
controller or battery caused by use other than as
instructed in this manual, or if the battery manufacturer's
recommendations are neglected. The manufacturer shall
not be liable if there has been service or repair carried
out by any unauthorised person, unusual use, incorrect
setup, or bad system design.
As the chart, Connect the load first with corresponding
red(positive) and black (negative) cables, then seal them
with tape.
Connect the battery with corresponding positive and
negative cables, load will be on.
Connect panel with the corresponding red(positive) and
black( negative) cables, the controller begins charging.
Confirm the LED display status, please refer to the 9.2
Faults and Alarms to identify the reason.

5.2 Reading the running status
Press the "Status" key of the S-Unit to read the running
status of the controller. This will display the current mode
of the controller and any measured values.
Settings can be changed using the "S-Unit" infrared remote
programmer. For detailed instructions and settings, please
see the S-Unit programmer remote manual.
5.3 Test function(Streetlight mode)
Press the "Test" key of S-Unit, the controller will turn on
the load for 30s. During daytime, this can verify correct

8.LVD, LVR, Threshold
8.3 Day/Night Threshold, Day/Night Delay
The controller recognizes day and night based on the
solar array open circuit voltage. This day/night threshold
can be modified according to local light conditions and
the solar array used.
Day/Night threshold setting range: 3.0~20.0V.
The actual time of turning on can be delayed by up to 30
minutes from the time the threshold was reached
using the Day/Night delay setting (D/N Dly).
Day/Night delay time setting range: 0~30min.
8.1 Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD)
When the battery voltage drops below the LVD voltage,
the controller will disconnect the load to prevent deep
discharge of the battery. If this occurs, the battery should
be well charged before resuming use.
1. Gel, Liquid and AGM Battery

SOC1：11.0~11.6V/22.0~23.2 V
SOC2：11.1~11.7V/22.2~23.4 V

LVD range: 10.8~11.8V/21.6~23.6V.
2. Lithium Battery
LVD range: 9.0~30.0V.
8.2 Low Voltage Reconnect (LVR)
If the low voltage disconnect is triggered, the controller
will restore load connection only when the battery
voltage increases above the LVR voltage.

2. Lithium Battery
LVR range:
11.4~12.8V/22.4~25.6V.

!
Day/Night threshold voltage of load disconnect is 1V
higher than the setting data, means the load will
disconnect when the solar voltage at 4.0~21.0V.
!
The controller will automatically adjust the day/night
threshold. If the lowest solar voltage is higher than the
day/night threshold. The load will have no output the
first night, then 24 hours later the controller will
automatically adjust the setting to give output the
following night.
