![]() ![]() System Status Troubleshooting Description Battery is low-voltage Troubleshoot Use a multi-meter to verify the rated battery voltage. Setting Battery Type Simply hold the gray button for approximately 7 seconds until the LED flashes. Users set the battery type, and leave the rest of the work to the charge controller. Operation of this controller is very simply. Operation After connecting the battery to the charge controller, the controller will turn on automatically. NEVER connect solar panel to charge controller before the battery.īluetooth Module Communication (optional) Temperature Sensor (optional, not polarity sensitive) Place the sensor close to the battery 09 RS-232 Port (optional accessory) ⑤ ⑥ ⑦ ③ ② ① ⑧ Installation WARNING Connect battery terminal wires to the charge controller FIRST then connect the solar panel(s) to the charge controller. Remote Temperature Sensor Port (optional accessory) 6. This can happen when storing a lithium battery pack in a discharged state for any length of time as self-discharge would gradually deplete the remaining charge. The protection circuit of lithium battery will typically turn the battery off and make it unusable if over-discharged. Lithium Battery Activation The Wanderer PWM charge controller has a reactivation feature to awaken a sleeping lithium battery. Boost Charge: When the battery has charged to the Boost voltage set-point, it undergoes an absorption stage which is equivalent to constant voltage regulation to prevent heating and excessive gassing in the battery. It uses 100% of available solar power to recharge the battery and is equivalent to constant current. ![]() VOLTAGE NIGHT BULK CHARGE BOOST FLOAT NIGHT TIME Bulk Charge: This algorithm is used for day to day charging. Key Features Optimized for 12 VDC system voltage 30A charging capacity. The controller comes equipped with fully comprehensive self-diagnostics and electronic protection functions to prevent damage from installation mistakes or system faults. Integrating highly efficient PWM charging, the Wanderer increases battery life and improves system performance. General Information The Wanderer is an advanced charge controller for off-grid solar applications and can be used with a 12V battery or battery bank.

Be careful when working with large lead acid batteries. Be certain there is enough ventilation to release the gases. Explosive battery gases may be present while charging. Use only sealed lead-acid, flooded, gel or lithium batteries which must be deep cycle. The following symbols are used throughout the manual: WARNING CAUTION NOTE Indicates a potentially dangerous condition.īattery Safety Do NOT let the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery touch each other. This manual contains important safety, installation, and operating instructions for the charge controller. Let alone the investment on my system and trailer.Important Safety Instructions Please save these instructions. Safety red flags in a few ways and I just can’t risk my camp trailer or personal safety to this model. I appreciate the attempt but with the seriousness of several failures I have no faith in this make and model wanderer 10 amp anymore. Was a email a day for a few days and kinda went quiet until your post in here. I will say nice hearing from you in here though and attempting to reach out. 14.13 was final point of charge which is still OVER the charge numbers expected. Luckily Ampere time makes a solid battery option and good protection. Should this have been a non sealed deep cycle, AGM or anything WITHOUT battery protection the potential was there for a battery to be destroyed, potentially worse. I have to say a run away CHARGE Situation is extremely unacceptable. Bought through amazon and probably will return to them. Without going into E02 and E04.Īppears I may have been lucky and battery damage was prevented by the battery BMS. Click to expand.Not sure if you caught the other recent event.īut after two days controller has went even more nuts and attempted to over charge my battery refusing to get out of primary / boost charge mode.
