      @@lewisdipo it is PV powered so whenever the PV light is low it blinks, nothing to worry about it is perfectly normal.

    i just installed one yesterday, a challenge i noticed on this new design is the installation process.. the screw is hidden behind the system which is a little bit challenging to mount it

      Place on the wall then mark the hole with a pen marker, bring down the device and then drill. Put Fisher peg in the hole and then put a screw in it. Finally handg the controller.

    There is a VoC change on the 80A new design. It's now 145V as against 195V of the previous design

    A tear down actually shows they paid attention to the flaws of the old design. Functionality wise, Transient handling has been improved. Hope they will find a way to add cooling fan cos it will drastically improve the lifespan.

      Yeah I agree with you fan cooling will prolong the lifespan. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

    I prefer New one because it regulate the high voltage because it happens to me I thought the controller has damaged but it worked correctly with out damage after resetting the panel

    the new one looks better but the old on looks stronger, but then i will go for the new one because of the additional feature..

    Great!💯💯 but please can the settings be done with/through the modbus? Instead of having to make use of the buttons to set the parameters. Or is the modbus just for monitoring the system?

    When you get an error 04 at peak sunlight of the day, what could be wrong and what can be done… It keeps flashing red and the amps and watts turns 0 at intervals.
    Please I await your response. Thanks

      Error 04 means high battery voltage. You might need to have your batteries checked.

    I have a question Sir, please do you know the function of that RJ45 port on the device? Is there a way to read the stats on this controller remotely? I am in dire need of this information! would appreciate any help or walk-around!

    The display looks very basic for a charge controller and I wonder if it comes with the ability to detect the type of battery connected and if it has default charging settings for different battery types.
    Does it come with a modbus module for remote connection and monitoring, or will a user have to search for and purchase that separately?

    • @smilinsunsmilinsun8056
      @smilinsunsmilinsun8056  6 місяців тому

      Yeah I agree the display is quite basic, it doesn't detect the battery type only detects voltage of the battery. It has default charge settings for batteries. It has a modbus

    @femidavid7086 Місяць тому

    In all the new one is technologically more advanced than the old one. However, cooling cannot be as efficient as in the old one because plastic is a poorer loser of heat through radiation than metal.

    I did an installation two days ago with the new charge controller but the issue is that in the inverter is used for only Night. So whenever the charger controller charges the battery fully charged, instead of it to stop charging it will be showing the fault light and tryna charge again but still show the fault light when it senses the battery fully charge. Pls is that how’s programmed
