1. General Description
1.1 Product description
Through the use of MPPT technology, the BlueSolar MPPT series can
increase charge current by up to 30% compared to conventional PWM
controllers.
BlueSolar’s sophisticated three stage charge control system can be
configured to optimize charge parameters to precise battery
requirements. The unit is fully protected against voltage transients, over
temperature, over current, reverse battery and reverse PV connections.
An automatic current limit feature allows use to the full output current
capability without worrying about overload or nuisance fuse blow from
excessive current.
Fully automatic temperature compensation of charge voltage is available
to further improve charge control and battery performance. The sensor
element is environmentally sealed and encapsulated into a plastic lug
which adheres to directly to the battery terminal.
Several BlueSloar MPPT Controllers can be used in parallel to increase
charge current.
Important note: Always connect the batteries first.

Note:
With the battery temperature sensor installed, the controller will increase
or decrease the battery charging voltage depending on the temperature
of the battery to optimize the charge to the battery and maintain optional
performance of the battery.

3. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
The BlueSolar MPPT Controller can charge up to 30% more compared to
traditional PWM charge controllers.
Upper curve:
Output current (I) of a solar panel as
function of output voltage (V).
The maximum power point (MPP) is the
point Pmax along the curve were the
product I x V reaches its peak.
Lower curve:
Output power P = I x V as function of
output voltage.
When using a PWM (not MPPT) controller
the output voltage of the solar panel will be
nearly equal to the voltage of the battery,
and will be lower than Vmp.

4. Charge curve
4.1 Three step charging
The BlueSolar MPPT Charge Controller is configured for a three step
charging process: Bulk – Absorption - Float.
1) Bulk stage
During this stage the Controller delivers as much charge current as
possible to rapidly recharge the batteries. When the battery voltage
reaches the absorption voltage setting, the Controller activates the
next stage (absorption).
2) Absorption stage
During this stage, the Controller switches to the constant voltage
mode, where the absorption voltage is applied to the battery. When
the charge current decreases to the float transition current setting,
the battery is fully charged and the Controller switches to the float
stage.
3) Float stage
During this stage, the float voltage is applied to the battery to
maintain it in a fully charged state. When battery voltage drops
below the float setting a new bulk cycle will be triggered.
4.2 Equalization
Equalization charging is the process of deliberately charging a battery at
a high voltage for a set period of time. Equalize charging remixes the
electrolyte, helps to remove sulfate buildup on the battery plates, and
balances the charge of the individual cells. Equalizing the batteries every
month or two (depending on usage) prolongs the life of the batteries and
provides better battery performance.
Warning: Never apply equalize charge to VRLA (GEL or AGM) batteries.

9
EN FR ES
To set the Equalize Charge:
1) Remove all DC loads connected to the batteries.
2) Remove all battery vent caps.
3) Check the battery water level; it should be just over the top of
the plates (do not over fill). Use only distilled or demineralized
water for topping up.
4) Set the BATTERY TYPE SELECTOR switch to position “0” or
“1”.
5) Reset the BATTERY TYPE SELECTOR switch to the
appropriate battery setting when all cells are fully charged (can be
verified with a hydrometer).
6) NEVER EQUALIZE Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries
(commonly called Gel or AGM batteries)
4.3 Battery type selector
The battery type selector switch is a 10 position rotary switch used to set
the Controller for the proper absorption, float and equalize voltage levels.
These levels are selected depending on the type of batteries used. Refer
to the table below for the charge voltages in the various switch positions.
Consult the battery manufacturer for optimum battery charge settings.

1 Description générale
1.1 Description du produit
Grâce à l'utilisation de la technologie MPPT, les séries BlueSolar MPPT
peuvent augmenter le courant de charge jusqu'à 30 % par rapport aux
contrôleurs PWM conventionnels.
Le contrôleur de charge en trois étapes est un système haut de gamme
qui peut être configuré pour optimiser les paramètres de charge par
rapport aux exigences précises des batteries. L'unité est complètement
protégée contre les phénomènes transitoires, la surchauffe, la
surintensité, les risques d'inversement sur la batterie et les connexions
PV. Une fonction de limitation automatique du courant permet d'utiliser
l'entière capacité du courant de sortie sans se préoccuper des
surcharges ou des fusibles grillés dus à un courant excessif.
La compensation entièrement automatique de température de la tension
de charge est faite pour améliorer le contrôle de charge et la
performance de la batterie. La sonde est protégée hermétiquement par
rapport à l'environnement extérieur et elle se trouve dans un bouchon en
plastique qui adhère directement à la borne de la batterie.
Plusieurs contrôleurs BlueSloar MPPT peuvent être utilisés en parallèle
pour augmenter le courant de charge.
