JUMPER SETTINGS
To gain access to the jumper, remove the plug-in connectors and the four
screws from the corners of the cover. The cover snaps into the box and will
need to be levered up using a blade between the cover and the box. Place
the jumper accross the middle and left pin for 12 Volt operation. Place
the jumper accross the middle and right pin for 24 Volt operation. If this
jumper is not installed, the charger defaults to 12 Volt operation.
FEATURES
• 10 Amp Capacity - The charger can facilitate a total of 10 amps to
charge the battery.
• Temperature Compensation - The charger has an internal
temperature sensor and varies charging voltages accordingly.
• 3 Stage Operation - The charger uses a 3 stage system to optimize
lead acid battery charging.
• Low Voltage Disconnect - With user configurable settings.
NOTE: A power source other than solar may be used if it does not
exceed the input current and voltage limits.
MODBUS COMMUNICATIONS
For Modbus addresses below 255, the charge controller supports three
different addressing modes. A standard single byte address may be
used. A two byte extended address or a three byte extended address
where the first byte of the address is a 0xFF prefix may be used. The
controller uses the message length to determine address mode being
used. In the extended addressing modes, the high byte of the address
precedes the low byte.
SETTING THE MODBUS ADDRESS
A function 6 message containing the Modbus address is broadcast to
address 0 to set the Modbus address. The controller will not respond
to this message, but will change to the new address. Controllers are
shipped with a default address set to 1.
