The MPT-3024 features remote battery voltage sensing, which results in more
accurate charging. Additionally, it offers an auxiliary output relay that can be set
to turn on at a specific battery voltage. A RS-485 communication port is also
standard on the MPT-3024. It may be connected to a PC through the optional
DCV-0001data converter, and may also be directly connected to remote
monitoring and interface devices that may be available from Rogue.
Thirty days worth of data logging is kept in non-volatile memory. The data log
is retrievable during both normal operation and after the controller has entered
sleep mode. It can be erased at any time.

2.1 General safety precautions
1) This charger is intended for use only with lead-acid battery chemistries of
12- or 24-volt nominal system voltage. It may be suitable for other types of
batteries; consult your battery manufacturer for more information.

during charging. Always work with batteries in a well-ventilated area and never
allow flames, sparks, or other sources of ignition within the vicinity of batteries
being charged.
