The following also applies:
n The controller must not be connected to the public electricity grid.
n Only solar modules may be connected to the solar module connections.
n Possible system voltages for the MPPT 6000-M/-S (nominal battery voltages): 12 V, 24 V, 36 V,
48 V, 60 V; (12 V, 24 V and 48 V: automatic detection; 36 V, 60 V: manually set via the Expert
menu).
n The controller performs, in particular, the following tasks:
–
Maximisation of power extraction from the modules via an integrated MPP tracker.
– Controlling of the charging process.
– Recording of yield and system data.
– Recording of data on a microSD card (MPPT 6000-M only).
– Integration of StecaLink-compatible devices (MPPT 6000-M only).
– Charging control via the AUX IO input (MPPT 6000-M only).
– Programmable AUX1/2/3 outputs (MPPT 6000-M only).
– UART/RS-232 data output (MPPT 6000-M only).
