MPPT30HV-R5
Important notes:
• Only qualified electricians or technicians who are familiar with solar system design and wiring
practices should install this product.
• Use only PV Systems with open circuit voltage below 180V and a minimumV
MP
of 16V for 12V
batteries, 32V for 24V batteries and 64V for 48V batteries.
•This equipment must be installed by qualified personnel only and incorrect wiring can cause
fire, injury or death – GSL will accept no responsibility for MPPT misconnection or misuse.
• Use only sealed, vented or calcium 12V, 24V or 48V lead acid batteries and confirm the MPPT
settings charge voltages and currents are correct for your battery system – if in any doubt seek
qualified advice!
• Use wires suitable for at least 40A, 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.
• The MPPT preferred mounting position is vertical with the fan on the lower side and at least 50mm
clearances on top and bottom.
• 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. (Always use DC fuses rated to match your
batteries and charging situation.)
• Before connecting the battery always check the battery and PV panel polarity.
•
The MPPT30HV chassis must be properly earthed - if in any doubt seek qualified advice!
(We Recommend at least one of the one of the mounting fixtures is fitted with an external star
washer against the heatsink.)
• Make sure that if the electrical circuit requires grounding that it is only grounded in one point.
Ground on multiple points, such as on PV and Battery, may compromise MPPT Protections.
•
Make Sure that the connection sequence is as follows. 1st “Panel -”, 2nd “Panel +”,
3rd “Battery -”, 4th “B” and finally 5th “Load -”
MPPT30HV General Information:
•
Green LED On – Battery voltage above nominal.
•
Green LED Flashing – Battery voltage below nominal.
•
This MPPT is designed to auto detect 12V, 24V or 48V battery systems.
•
The MPPT30HV is shipped in a sealed battery setting. But if your batteries are vented or
calcium then,
BEFORE
wiring the MPPT in, follow the
CHANGING BATTERY TYPE
SETTING PROCEDURE.
•
This MPPT has an automatic output power derating to 70°C to improve product reliability
while maximising output power availability.
•
The maximum continuous output power is 1800W in 48V systems, 900W in 24V systems
and 450W in 12V systems. The output current is limited to 30A.\
• For additional safety and reliability we recommend the MPPT30HV to be used in
conjunction with the MIHV240.
