2 General Information
2.1 Overview
Thank you for selecting the Tracer controller which represents advanced technology of
our company. The features are listed below:
· 12V / 24V auto recognition.
· Advanced maximum power point tracking technology to optimize using the solar
system.
· Peak conversion efficiency of 97 %, high Tracking efficiency of 99%.
· Very fast sweeping of the entire I-V curve, several seconds tracking speed.
· Widely used, automatic recognize day/night.
· Timer function with 1-15 hours option for street light.
· Unique dual timer function, enhance the flexibility of street light system.
· Sealed, Gel and Flooded battery option.
· Adopting temperature compensation and correcting the charging and discharging
parameters automatically, improving the battery lifetime.
· Electronic protection: over charging, over discharging, overload, short circuit.
· Reverse protection: any combination of solar module and battery, without causing
damage to any component.
· Excellent thermal design and nature air cooling.
· RJ45 interface with remote meter MT-5, convenient to check operating parameters of
controllers.
The Tracer series controller is for off-grid solar system and control the charging
and discharging of the battery, especially suitable for the street light system. The
controller features a smart tracking algorithm inside that maximizes the energy from
the solar PV module(s) and charge the battery. At the same time, the low voltage
disconnect function (LVD) will prevent the battery from over discharging.
The Tracer controller charging process has been optimized for long battery life
and improved system performance. The comprehensive self-diagnostics and electronic
protection functions can prevent damage from installation mistakes or system faults. In
addition, the Tracer controller has a RJ45 interface to allow communication with a
meter for remote monitoring.
Although the Tracer controller is very simple to configure and use, please take
your time to read the operator's manual and become familiar with the controller. This
will help you make full use of all the functions and improve your solar PV system.
