6. Maintenance
The solar charge controller is maintenance-free.
All components of the PV system must be checked at least annually, according to the
specifications of the respective manufacturers.
X Ensure adequate ventilation of the cooling element.
X Check the cable strain relief.
X Check that all cable connections are secure.
X Tighten screws if necessary.
X Terminal corrosion
7. Faults and remedies
Fault Cause Remedy
No display •battery voltage too low
X pre-charge the battery
•the external fuse in the
battery connection cable has
blown.
X replace the external fuse
•battery is not connected 1. unclamp all connections
2. connect a (new) battery with
the correct polarity
3. reconnect the solar module
and loads
•battery is connected with the
wrong polarity
•battery is defective

•charging interrupted due to
excessive charging current
charging automatically con-
tinues as soon as the charging
current lies within the permis-
sible range
Load cannot be op-
erated or only for a
short time

red
•load output is switched off
due to excessive load current
X reduce load current, if neces-
sary switch off or disconnect
loads
X check loads
•load output is switched off
due to short circuit at load
output
1. disconnect loads
2. correct the cause of the short
circuit
3. reconnect loads
•load output is switched off
due to overheating of the
solar charge controller
the load output automatically
switches on again once the
solar charge controller has
cooled down
X improve the cooling air
circulation
X remove any other heat
sources
X check the conditions of use
and the mounting location
Load cannot be
operated

•load output is switched
off due to too low battery
voltage
the load output automatically
switched on again as soon as
the battery voltage lies within
the permissible range
X pre-charge the battery
X equip loads directly con-
nected to the battery with
deep discharge protection
X check the battery and replace
if necessary
