5 Protections, Troubleshooting and Maintenance 
5.1 Protection 
·PV Array Short Circuit 
When PV short circuit occurs, the controller will stop charging. Clear it to resume 
normal operation. 
·PV Overvoltage 
If PV voltage is larger than maximum input open voltage 150V, PV will remain 
disconnected and warning until the voltage falls safely below 145V. PV voltage cannot 
be too high, otherwise it may damage the controller, please verify the PV parameter. 
·PV Overcurrent 
The Tracer-BN series controller will limit battery charging current to the Maximum 
Battery Current rating. Therefore an over-sized solar array will not operate at peak 
power. 
·Load Overload 
If the load current exceeds the maximum load current rating 1.05 times, the controller 
will disconnect the load. Overloading must be cleared up through reducing the load 
and restarting controller. 
·Load Short Circuit 
Fully protected against load wiring short-circuit. Once the load short (more than 
quadruple rate current), the load short protection will start automatically. After five 
automatic load reconnect attempts, the fault must be cleared by restarting controller. 
·PV Reverse Polarity 
Fully protection against PV reverse polarity, no damage to the controller will result. 
Correct the miswire to resume normal operation. 
·Battery Reverse Polarity 
Fully protection against battery reverse polarity, no damage to the controller will result. 
Correct the miswire to resume normal operation. 
·Damaged Remote Temperature Sensor 
If the temperature sensor short-circuited or damaged, the controller will be charging or
