1. General Information 

1.1 Overview 

ViewStar  series  solar  charge  controller  adopts  advanced  digital  control  technology,  LCD  display  and 

automatical operation. With the features of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) battery charging and unique 

control  technology,  the  controller  will  improve  the  long  battery  life  efficiently. Our  controller  has  many 

unique features and easy to use. 

The controller could charge battery and discharge automatically for off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems. 

The charging process has been optimized for long battery life and improved system performance. The 

comprehensive  self-diagnostics  and  extensive  electronic  protection  can  prevent  damage  against 

incorrect wiring or system faults. 

Features: 

 

12/24VDC &automatically identifying system voltage   

 

3-Stage intelligent PWM charging:Bulk, Boost/Equalize, Float 

 

Support 4 charging options: Sealed, Gel, Flooded and user 

 

Lithium battery self-activating function 

 

Battery temperature compensation function 

 

Actual power display and record function 

 

New SOC method calculate the battery capacity accurately 

 

Wide feasibility and recognize day or night automatically 

 

Several load control methods 

 

Hundred percent full load operation in working environment temperature range within charging & 
discharging 

 

Extensive electronic protections   

 

Graphical dot-matrix LCD and 4 buttons combinations as HMI (human-machine interface) for full 
menu and easy operation 

 

RS-485 ports via the open standard Modbus protocol are supported for long-distance 
communication and communication compatibility 

 

Monitoring and setting parameter via Mobile APP, PC Monitor setting software
