Dingo 4040P Reference Manual
4
Introduction
Please read the User Guide before reading this
manual.
In most cases, the User Guide provides all the
information needed for effective installation of
the Dingo, (D4040P) and there is no need for the
user to read this Reference Manual.
Some users will require further information. This
manual provides a detailed technical description
of the operation of the controller. This manual
assumes more technical knowledge than the User
Guide.
If you are in any doubt, it is recommended you do not
adjust the advanced settings described in this manual.
Incorrect adjustment may reduce the effectiveness of
your Dingo and could damage your battery.
All voltage values used in this manual assume
a 12V system. Scale voltages for other system
voltages (e.g. 24V system = voltages x 2, 48V
system = voltages x 4)
Additional Installation Notes
Ensure that you have followed the installation
instructions on pages 3-7 of the User Guide. The
Dingo can be used for system voltages up to 48V.
It is safe to connect the power before setting the
system voltage, even with a 48 volt battery.
The Dingo is not an MPPT or voltage converter.
It needs a solar array with a maximum power
point voltage (Vmpp) of approximately 17V per
12V or nominal system voltage.
Always mount the Dingo vertically with clear
airflow around the bottom and top of the case.
In hot conditions, do not put it in a sealed
enclosure, as this will restrict the airflow around
it. Do not install the Dingo in direct sunlight in
hot conditions.
Please consult section A.3 to determine the
performance at different temperatures. At full
power, in high temperature ambients, the LCD
display may occasionally reach a high enough
temperature to become darker and may become
unreadable. It will return to normal when it cools
down.
