8.1 Protection functions
8.1.1 Controller overload
The controller is protected from the following faults and is not damaged when these faults only
occur individually:
n Solar module or battery connected with the wrong polarity.
n Solar module or battery not connected with the wrong polarity but connected to the wrong
connection.
n Solar modules are short-circuited (charging is switched off (OFF); charging cannot be switched
on if a short-circuit is detected).
n Battery is not connected.
Once the individual fault has been corrected the controller will operate correctly without taking any
further measures.
CAUTION!
The following faults damage the controller:
–
A solar module is connected to multiple controllers in parallel.
– The solar modules are short-circuited while the device is charging.
