  1. Connect the battery to the controller.
  2. Connect the load.
  3. Connect the solar panel (PV).

Warning: Do not reverse the polarity of the solar panel or battery connections. Ensure the inverter or high-surge loads are connected directly to the battery, not the controller output.

LED Indicators

  • Panel: Solid green (connected), Off (disconnected).
  • Battery (RGB LED): Flashing green (charging), Flashing red (discharging), Solid green (charged/float), Solid red (low battery), Solid blue (short/overload).
  • Output: Solid green (on), Off (off).
  • Link/Act: Indicates Ethernet communication status.

Web Interface and Configuration

The device is accessible via a web browser using the default IP address 192.168.0.34. Default login credentials are: Username admin, Password voltvolt. The interface allows for network settings, watchdog configuration, output control, and real-time monitoring of system parameters.

Practical help

Common problems

Battery LED is not flashing red after connection

Disconnect the battery and verify all wiring connections for correct polarity.

Loss of connectivity to the web interface

Ensure the computer is on the same network range. If necessary, perform a physical reset by holding the Function button for 10 seconds until the battery LED turns blue.

Output does not turn on after a short circuit

Clear the short circuit and manually toggle the output using the ON/OFF function in the web interface or the physical button.

Before use

  • Verify battery voltage (12V or 24V).
  • Ensure solar panel open circuit voltage does not exceed 50Vdc.
  • Check that all cables are securely fastened to the terminal blocks.
  • Confirm the computer network settings match the default IP 192.168.0.34.

Specs in practice

MPPT Technology
Maximum Power Point Tracking optimizes solar energy collection, increasing efficiency by 20-30% compared to PWM controllers.
Positive Common
