11. Common Troubles and Handling Methods

Troubles

Handling methods

Indicators, and LCD screen do not light up

Solar panel has voltage, battery terminal has no 
voltage output, but the code E1 is displayed

With 12V/24V/36V/48V normal voltage battery 
connected, the battery icon on the LCD screen 
flashes slowly and the code E1 is displayed

Controller does not charge

Battery icon on the LCD screen flashes slowly 
and the code E1 is displayed

Charge and discharge current is only 30A. Why?

Fault codes present

Other problems or anomalies that are difficult 
to resolve

Check if the battery and solar panel are properly connected, 
and if the LCD screen cable is poorly connected

No battery is detected on the lead-acid battery terminal, 
there is no voltage output at both ends of the battery, it is 
back to normal after the battery is connected

Check if the system voltage is set to the battery, or if it is 
set to automatically identify and restart the controller; after 
setting system voltage, for safety purposes, the system 
should be restarted to take effect.

Check if wiring is correct, check if the solar panel voltage 
exceeds the rated value and if the battery is over-voltage, 
and check LCD error codes for internal over-temperature, 
external over-temperature, external lithium battery low 
temperature, lead-acid battery open circuit, presence of E10, etc.

Check if the battery is over discharged and if the system 
voltage is set incorrectly

Because the system adopts the heat sink + air cooling 
technology, when the system detects a fan error, it 
automatically limits the maximum charge and discharge 
current to 30A

Please refer to the “Error Codes” table for other errors 
with error codes

Try F01 reset
Restore the factory settings F02 and set the parameters 
according to the system configuration again. Be cautious!

12. Product Installation

12.1 Installation considerations

Be very careful when installing the battery, and wear protective goggles when installing FLD lead-acid 
battery. Once in contact with the battery acid, rinse the contact part with water in time.
Avoid placing metal objects in the vicinity of the battery to prevent a short circuit.
Acidic gases may be generated when the battery is charged, so make sure the environment is well ventilated.
Flammable gases may be generated by the battery, so keep away from sparks.
When installing outdoors, avoid direct sunlight and rainwater infiltration.
False connection points and corroded wires may generate great heat that may melt the wire insulation, burn 
the surrounding material, or even cause fire, so make sure that the connectors are tightened, and that the 
wires are secured with ties to avoid loose connection due to shaking of the wires when the system is moved.
The voltage at the output terminals may exceed the human safety voltage when connecting the system, so 
use insulated tools and keep your hands dry.
The battery terminals on the controller can be connected either to a single battery or to a battery pack. The 
subsequent instructions in this manual are for use with a single battery, but they also apply to a system with 
a battery pack.
Please observe the battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations.

The system connection wires should be selected according to the current density of not less than 5A/mm .
Ground the controller via its ground terminal.
Do not connect the battery reversely during installation, as this may cause irreversible damage!

12.2 Installation steps

Wiring and installation methods must comply with national and local electrical code requirements. 

Step 1: 

Choose installation site: avoid installing the controller in place where it is exposed to direct sunlight, high 

temperature and water ingress, and make sure the area around the controller is well ventilated.

Step 2: 

Fix the screws for hanging: mark the mounting location according to the size of the controller, drill two 

mounting holes in the two marks, and fix the screws in the two mounting holes. 

Step 3: 

Fasten the controller: align the fixing holes of the controller with the 2 screws and then hang it up.

Step 4: 

Open the controller front cover, connect wires, and close the front cover.

13.Protections

Device internal over temperature protection 

When the internal temperature of the controller exceeds the set value, the charge power will be 
automatically reduced or even charging is turned off to further slow down the internal temperature rise of 
the controller.

Battery over temperature protection 

Battery over-temperature protection requires an external battery temperature sampling sensor. When it 
detects an over temperature of the battery, charging will be stopped. When the battery temperature drops 
to 5 degrees lower than the set value, and lasts for 2 seconds, charging automatically resumes.

Input over power protection 

When the solar panel power is greater than the rated value, the controller will limit the charging power 
within the rated power range to prevent excessive current from damaging the controller, and the 
controller will enter current limiting charge mode.
