STANDARDS
Safety
EN/IEC 62109-1
1a) If more PV power is connected, the controller will limit input power to the stated maximum.
1b) The PV voltage must exceed Vbat + 5V for the controller to start.
Thereafter the minimum PV voltage is Vbat + 1V.
2) A PV array with a higher short circuit current may damage the controller in case of reverse polarity connection of the
PV array.
3) MC4 models: several splitter pairs may be needed to parallel the strings of solar panels.
Maximum current per MC4 connector: 30A (the MC4 connectors are parallel connected to one MPPT tracker)
Bluetooth Smart built-in: dongle not needed
The wireless solution to set-up, monitor and update the controller
using Apple and Android smartphones, tablets or other devices.
VE.Direct
For a wired data connection to a Color Control panel, Venus GX, PC
or other devices
Remote on-off
To connect for example to a VE.BUS BMS.
Programmable relay
Can be programmed (a.o. with a smartphone)
to trip on an alarm, or other events.
Optional: pluggable LCD display
Remove the seal that protects
the plug on the front of the controller,
and plug-in the display.
Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing
continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest
by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10%
compared to slower MPPT controllers.
Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial
shading conditions
If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points may be
present on the power-voltage curve.
Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not be the
optimum MPP.
The innovative SmartSolar algorithm will always maximize energy
harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.
Outstanding conversion efficiency
No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 99%.
Flexible charge algorithm
Fully programmable charge algorithm (see the software page on our
website), and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary
switch (see manual for details).
Extensive electronic protection
Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is
high.
PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection.
PV reverse current protection.
Internal temperature sensor
Compensates absorption and float charge voltage
for temperature.
