5 Protections, Troubleshooting and Maintenance 

5.1 Protection 

·

PV Array Short Circuit 

If PV array short circuit occurs, clear it to resume normal operation. 

·

PV Overvoltage 

If PV Overvoltage occurs, the array will remain disconnected until the voltage falls 

safely below the maximum rating. 

·

PV Overcurrent 

If PV Overcurrent occurs, the array will be disconnected automatically. 

·

Load Overload 

If  the  load  current  exceeds  the  maximum  load  current  rating,  the  controller  will 

disconnect  the  load.  Overloading  must  be  cleared  up  through  reapply  power  or 

pressing the setting button. 

·

Load Short Circuit

 

Fully  protected  against  load  wiring  short-circuit.  After  one  automatic  load  reconnect 

attempt, the fault must be cleared by reapply power or pressing the setting button. 

·

PV Reverse Polarity 

Fully  protection  against  PV  reverse  polarity,  no  damage  to  the  controller  will  result. 

Correct the miswire to resume normal operation. 

·

Battery Reverse Polarity 

Fully protection against battery reverse polarity, no damage to the controller will result. 

Correct the miswire to resume normal operation. 

·

Damaged Local Temperature Sensor   

If the temperature sensor short-circuited or damaged, the controller will be charging or 

discharging  at  the  default  temperature  25

  to  prevent  the  battery  damaged  from 

overcharging or over discharged. 

·

High Voltage Transients   

PV  is  protected  against  high  voltage  transients.  In  lightning  prone  areas,  additional 

external suppression is recommended.
