1. General Safety Instruction
1.1 Safety Instruction
As dangerous voltage and high temperature exist within the charge controller, only qualified and
authorized maintenance personnel are permitted to open and repair it.
This manual contains information concerning the installation and operation of the charge controller.
All relevant parts of the manual should be read prior to commencing the installation. Please follow
the local stipulation meantime.
Any operation against safety requirement or against design, manufacture, safety standard, and are
out of the manufacturer warranty.
1.2 General Precaution
Do not expose to rain, snow or liquids of any type，it is designed for indoor use.
To avoid fire and electric shock, make sure all cables selected with right gauge and being
connected well. Smaller diameter and broken cable are not allowed to use.
Please do not put any inflammable goods near to charge controller.
Never place unit directly above batteries, gases from a battery will corrode and damage the
charge controller.
Do not place battery over charge controller.
1.3 Precaution regarding battery operation
Use plenty of fresh water to clean in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes and
consult with doctor as soon as possible.
The battery may generate flammable gas during charging. Never smoke or allow a spark or
flame in vicinity of a battery.
Do not put the metal tool on the battery, spark and short circuit might lead to explosion.
Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches while
working with batteries. Batteries can cause short-circuit current high enough to make metal
melt, and could cause severe burns.

2. Instruction
2.1 Brief Instruction
2.1.1 General Description
Solar Mate is a solar charge controller with built in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
technology, which can optimize the PV’s output eliminate the fluctuation due to shading or
temperatures variables. It tracked the maximum power point of a PV array to deliver the maximum
charging current for battery, enabling PV array to increase the output by as much as 30% compared
with PWM design.
Solar Mate is a multi-voltage MPPT with built in sophisticated battery charging algorithm for various
kinds of lead acid batteries, including AGM, GEL, Traction. Data management with a year of history
record was offered as well. Meantime, version for Lead-Carbon battery and lithium ion battery were
available upon request.
Maximum MPPT efficiency up to 99.9%.
Maximum efficiency up to 98.2%.
Excellent performance at sunrise and low solar insulation levels.
High reliability with electronic protections.
Wide MPPT operating voltage range.
Easy installation and commissioning.
Built in TBB premium II battery charging algorithm for lead acid battery.
Self-consumption: Less than 1mA@12VDC,3mA@24VDC,5mA@48VDC.
Data logging 365 days.
With LCD display.
Communication: Auxiliary contact, RS485 support T-bus.
Bluetooth connectivity is available.
Self cooling design for high reliability.
