5. Protections, Troubleshooting and Maintenance 

5.1 Protection 

PV Short Circuit 

When not in PV charging state, the controller will not be damaged in case of a short-circuiting in the PV 

array. 

PV Reverse Polarity 

When the polarity of the PV array is reversed, the controller may not be damaged and can continue to 

operate normally after the polarity is corrected.   

PV Over Voltage 

When the PV voltage is higher 60V, the controller will cut off the charging automatically, and when the 

voltage is lower than 55V, the controller will recover charging. automatically 

Charging Battery Cut Off 

Disconnect the battery when the controller is charged at rated power , the controller do not be damaged   

Load Overload 

When the load is overloading (The overload current is 

≥ 1.05 times the rated load current), the controller 

will  automatically  cut  off  the  output.  If  the  load  reconnects  automatically,  it  needs  to  be  cleared  by 

pressing the Load button restarting the controller. 

Load Short Circuit 

Fully protected against load wiring short-circuit

≥2 times rated discharge current

. After five automatic 

load  reconnect  attempt,  the  fault  must  be  cleared  by  restarting  the  controller  or  pressing  the  switch 

button. 

Damaged 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. 

Controller Overheating 

The controller is able to detect the temperature inside the battery. The controller stops working when its 

temperature exceeds 85 °C and restart to work when its temperature is below 75 °C. 

TVS High Voltage Transients 

The internal circuitry of the controller is designed with Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) which can 

only protect against high-voltage surge pulses with less energy. If the controller is to be used in an area 

with frequent lightning strikes, it is recommended to install an external surge arrester.
