Clamp on ferrite suppressor noise
The 3024iL is shipped with two clamp on ferrite suppressors to minimize EMI radiation and susceptibility. One is placed around both
battery wires, and the second is placed around the battery temperature sensor and remote display wires. If the 20A Load output drives
the dump load directly it is possible that the battery wire suppressor may emit a 100Hz buzzing noise resulting from the 100Hz PWM
diversion current.
This noise can be eliminated by also routing the dump load wire from the 20A Load output through the battery wire suppressor in the
same direction as the battery wires. If wire size is such that all three wires cannot fit through the existing battery wire suppressor an
additional suppressor may be used. One suppressor should be placed around the BAT- wire alone. The other should be placed around
both the BAT+ wire and the dump load wire. Routing both the BAT+ wire and the dump load wire through the same suppressor in the
same direction cancels 100Hz magnetic field in the suppressor which eliminates the noise. Additional suppressors may be ordered as
BSE part number 523-0005-01.
Wind/Hydroelectric generator installation and wiring
The DUO-Option is normally suitable for use with DC generators requiring diversion type charge control. If the generator includes a
voltage regulator it’s setpoint must be set slightly higher than the 3024’s maximum charge voltage setpoint including the effects of
temperature compensation.
¾ WARNING: The generator DC output must be connected to the battery in accordance with the
generator manufacturers installation and safety instructions. The generator is intentionally omitted in the
preceding drawing so as to not preempt the generator manufacturers installation and safety instructions.
DUO-Option diversion operation and associated dump load must meet the generator manufacturers
diversion charge control requirements. Do not connect the generator to the 3024’s PV inputs.
Diversion power controller indicators
As the Diversion power controller increases or decreases it’s PWM “on time” to adjust how much average current is diverted, the
3024’s auxiliary output LED indicator will vary in brightness in proportion to PWM percent on time. The LED will be brighter when more
current is diverted and will be completely off when no current is being diverted. If an IPN-ProRemote is present in the system it’s
auxiliary output screen in the Top Menu will always show Auxiliary Battery Charge. The auxiliary battery voltage displayed in this screen
will be the average voltage applied to the dump load and will vary with PWM percent on time. If actual battery voltage was 14.4V and
the Auxiliary Battery Charge screen shows 7.2V, then Diversion PWM duty cycle (% on time) = 7.2V
÷ 14.4V = 50%.
