Safety Features - Phocos CIS-N-MPPT 100/30 Manuel De L'utilisateur

Testing Function
Pushing the test button on the CIS-CU (Control Unit) will switch on load terminal for 1 minute.
Should pressing the button cause a load disconnect event (LVD/SOC, overcurrent) then the load will be switched off
immediately.

Safety Features

Reverse polarity
Short circuit (3)
Overcurrent
Reverse current
Overvoltage
Undervoltage
Over temperature
(1) Panels are short circuited by diodes. So there is a limited time the controller can be subjected to these conditions. A
Battery connected to the panel terminals in reverse polarity will instantly cause a damage to the controller.
(2) Controller can protect itself, but any connected loads might be damaged.
(3) Short circuit: >3x – 20x nominal current.
(4) Battery must be protected by a fuse, or it might be permanently damaged in case of short circuit.
(5) >103% nominal current: disconnect with 2 min. delay
>124% nominal current: disconnect with 40s delay
(6) MPPT switches off when detecting reverse current.
(7) At voltages above 95 V the MPPT will stop charging.
WARNING: The combination of different error conditions may cause damage to the controller. Always remove the fault
condition before you continue with connecting the controller!
Low Voltage Disconnect Function (LVD)
State of charge controlled (SOC): Disconnects at
•
11.00/22.00 V to 11.70/23.40 V(SOC1), 11.12/22.24 V to 11.76/23.52 V(SOC2),
11.25/22.50 V to 11.83/23.63 V(SOC3), 11.38/22.72 V to 11.89/23.78 V(SOC4),
11.51/23.02 V to 11.96/23.92 V(SOC5), 11.64/23.28 V to 12.02/24.04 V(SOC6).
• Voltage controlled (LVD): Disconnects at a fixed voltage between 11.0/22.0 V and 11.9/23.8 V (voltage steps
0.1/0.2 V).
Note: Battery voltage must be below adjusted setting for longer than 2 minutes before LVD occurs.
Note: Voltage levels before/after the slash are valid for 12 V and 24 V systems respectively (valid for the charge
controllers presented in this manual).
