It provides comprehensive overcharge protection and supports various 12V battery types, including sealed, gel, and flooded batteries, ensuring tailored and efficient charging.
For advanced monitoring and programming, the controller offers versatile connectivity options:
| Connectivity Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Remote Meter MT50: | Connect to an optional MT50 remote meter with an LCD screen using an RS485 to RJ45 cable for direct viewing of system parameters. |
| Wi-Fi Module: | Link to an optional Wi-Fi module via an RS485 to RJ45 cable to create a Wi-Fi network, enabling remote management through the free "Solar Station Monitor" mobile app (Android and iOS compatible). |
| PC/Laptop Connection: | Connect directly to your PC or laptop using an optional RS485 to USB cable and utilise the free "Solar Station Monitor" computer program (Windows-compatible) for detailed monitoring and adjustments. |
These communication options provide full control, allowing access to vital information such as voltage, current, battery state of charge, and accumulated energy. You can also customise battery type and capacity, set specific charging voltages, or create a user-defined battery profile.
Typical Applications
| Application | Description |
