200W Solar Charger

Maximum Power Point Tracker

Operating Instructions

Please read these instructions before use

This revolutionary maximum power point tracker solar charger was 

designed using the technology that won GSL Electronics the prestigious 

“2008 EDN Innovation award”. A simple, compact and low cost 

alternative. Ideal for charging batteries with the new low cost and high 

efficiency grid type panels. 

   Important:  

 Use only PV Systems with open circuit voltage below 55V and a V

MP 

no less than 17V for 12V Charging

   and 34V for 24V Charging. 

 Use wires suitable for at least 15a, but if wire runs are over  3m then larger wires are recommended to 

   limit voltage drop and losses. 

 Install the unit in a dry place out of direct sunlight and away from flammable liquids or gases.

 Battery fuse ( BF ) is always required and must be located as close to the battery as possible, its sizing  

   depends on the wire size and load ratings. Typically a 15A 24V fuse would do.

 Locate the PV fuse (PVF) as close to the MPPT as possible (10A 60VDC Rating). PVF only mandatory  

   with high power panels.

 If used, this fuse is optional, locate the output fuse (of) as close to the MPPT as possible 

   (15A 24VDC rating). 

 Before connecting battery always check battery and PV panel polarity.
