3  Area of application

These instructions describe the functions and installation of a charge 

controller for photovoltaic (PV) systems to be used for charging 12 V or 

24 V lead-acid batteries in the hobby and leisure, residential, business, com-

mercial and small company areas.
The charge controller is only suitable for controlling solar modules. Never con-

nect any other type of charging source to the charge controller. This can de-

stroy the controller and / or the charging source. If other charging sources are 

to be used together with the device, first consult your dealer or installer and 

observe the information in the SOC calculation section of these instructions.
The controller is basically only suitable for use with the following types of 

12 V or 24 V rechargeable batteries: 
–  Lead-acid batteries with liquid electrolyte
–  Sealed lead-acid batteries; AGM, GEL
The respective battery type must be set in the controller, see Setting the 

battery type to Gel / Liquid. Observe the instructions of the battery manu-

facturer before connecting the battery. 

Important! The controller is not suitable for use with 

nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal-hydride, lithium-ion or any other 

types of rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries. These 

types of battery must not be connected to the controller. Be sure to 

observe the safety instructions for the respective battery used.

The corresponding manufacturer's installation manual must be observed when 

installing the remaining components, e.g. solar modules, batteries and load.

The controller is only suitable for indoor use. It must be 

installed in a manner providing protection from weathering 

influences such as rain and direct sunlight. Ventilation openings 

must not be covered. The controller may only be used for the specified 

intended purpose. Also make sure that the permissible model-specific 

rated currents and voltages are not exceeded. No liability is accepted 

when the device is used in a manner other than for the intended 

purpose. Handle the product with care.

4  Controller protection functions

The controller is equipped with various systems for protecting its electron-

ics, the battery and connected load. Triggering of the protection devices 

is indicated by an error message (Section Error messages). The protection 

devices automatically reset when the error has been corrected.

Caution

 

Danger of damage to the controller. Despite the protective 

functions, the controller can still be damaged when more than 

one component is incorrectly connected.

The protective functions of the controller cover the following points:
• 

Protection against reverse connected solar modules 

The rated power of the solar modules must not exceed the rated power 

of the controller!

• 

Protection against reverse connected load devices on the load 

output

 

Protects the controller but not the load device.

• 

Protection against reverse connected battery

  

Charging and discharging of the battery are prevented.

• 

Short circuit fuse at module input

• 

Short circuit fuse at load output

• 

Protection against excessive charging current 

The controller disconnects the battery and switches off the load.

• 

No-load protection when operated without battery or load

 

Load output is protected from the module voltage. 

• 

Reverse current protection

  

Prevents reverse current from flowing into the solar modules at night. An 

additional reverse current diode is not required!
