1 General Information

1.1 Overview

Appreciate you for choosing our MPPT solar charge controller, iTracer6415ND.

Based on the multiphase synchronous rectification technology (MSRT),

common negative design, dual-core processor architecture, and advanced

MPPT control algorithm, the products own the features of high response speed,

high reliability, high industrial standards, etc.

With the MPPT control algorithm, in any situation, products of this series can

fast and accurately track out the best maximum power point (MPP) of the PV

array. To obtain the maximum solar energy in time, MSRT can guarantee high

conversion efficiency in any charging power. It sharply improves the energy

efficiency of the solar system. The Modbus communication protocol interface

makes it convenient to expand applications and monitor various fields. Like

telecommunication base stations, household systems, wilderness monitoring

systems, etc.

All-round electronic fault self-test and enhanced electronic protection function

could prevent damage to system components from installation errors or

system failures.

1.3 Accessories Instructions

1. Remote Temperature Sensor (Model: RTS300R10K5.08A)

The standard cable length is 3m (it can be customized) to

acquire battery temperature for undertaking temperature

compensation of control parameters. The

RTS300R10K5.08Aconnects to the RTS port (10th ) on the

controller.

CAUTION

Unplug the RTS, and the battery's temperature will be set to a

fixed value of 25℃.

2. USB to RS-485 Converter (Model: CC-USB-RS485-150U-3.81)

The USB to RS-485 converter monitors each controller

on the network using Solar Station PC software and

updates the firmware. The cable length is 1.5m. The

CC-USB-RS485-150U-3.81 connects to the

MC1.5-5.08-2L port (8th ) on the controller.

3. CD （PC Software）

Solar Station PC software is used to monitor each controller on the network

1.4 Maximum Power Point Tracking Technology

Due to the nonlinear characteristics of the solar array, there is a maximum

energy output point (Max Power Point) on its curve. Traditional controllers,

adopting the switch charging technology and PWM charging technology, can't

charge the battery at the maximum power point. They can't harvest the

maximum energy available from the PV array. While the solar charge controller

with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Technology can lock on the point

to harvest the maximum energy and deliver it to the battery.

The MPPT algorithm of our company continuously compares and adjusts the

operating points to locate the array's maximum power point. The tracking

process is fully automatic and does not need user adjustment.

As shown in Figures 1-2, the curve is the characteristic curve of the array. The

MPPT technology will boost the battery charge current by tracking the MPP.

Assuming the conversion efficiency of the solar system is 100%, the following

formula is established:

Input power (PPV)= Output power (PBat)

Input voltage (VMp) *input current (IPV) =Battery voltage (VBat) *battery current (IBat)

Normally, the VMp is always higher than VBat. Due to the principle of energy

conservation, the IBat is always higher than IPV. The greater the discrepancy

between VMp &VBat, the greater the discrepancy between IPV& IBat. The greater

the discrepancy between array and battery, the bigger reduction of the

conversion efficiency of the system. Thus the controller's conversion efficiency

is particularly important in the PV system.

Figure 1-2 is the maximum power point curve, and the shaded area is the

charging range of a traditional solar charge controller (PWM Charging Mode).

It can diagnose that the MPPT mode can improve the usage of solar energy

resources. According to our test, the MPPT controller can raise 20%-30%

efficiency compared to the PWM controller. (Value may fluctuate due to the

ambient circumstance's influence and energy loss.)

Figure 1-2 Maximum Power Point Curve

The panel may appear Multi-MPP as shading from cloud, tree, or snow in

actual application. However, there is only one real Maximum Power Point. As

the Figure 1-3 show:

Figure 1-3 Mutil-MPP Curve

If the program works improperly after appearing Multi-MPP, the system will not

work on the real max. power point. It may waste most solar energy resources

and affect the system's normal operation. The typical MPPT algorithm,

improve the array's utilization rate and avoid wasting resources.

1.5 Battery Charging Stage

The controller has a three-stage battery charging algorithm (Bulk Charging,

Constant Charging, and Float Charging) for rapid, efficient, and safe battery

charging.
