Tracer4210 solar controller adopts latest MPPT technology (Maximum Power Point Tracking) and advanced tracking algorithm to make the solar module operate at idealvoltage which the solar modules can product the maximum available power. Compared to conventional PWM controller, MPPT technology increases the charge efficiency up to 30% and potentially decrease the power of solar array needed. The ability to step-down the higher voltage solar module to recharge a lower voltage battery bank greatly increases system design flexibility. The cable size can be reduced because of the small current from the solar array.

The Tracer series controller is for off-grid solar system and control the charging and  discharging of the battery,  especially suitable for  the  street light system. The controller features a smart tracking algorithm inside that maximizes the energy from the solar PV  module(s) and charge the battery. At the same time, the low voltage disconnect function (LVD) will prevent the battery from over discharging.

Remote Meter(Model：MT-5) 

The digital remote meter displays system operating information, error indications, and self-diagnostics read-out. Information is displayed on a backlit LCD display. The large numerical display and icons are easy to read and large buttons make navigating the meter menus easy. The meter can be flush mounted in a wall or surface mounted using the mounting frame (included). The MT-5 is supplied with 2m of cable and a mounting frame. The MT-5 connects to the RJ45 port on the Tracer.

Dual Timer Function

The default night length is 10 hours.The controller can learn the night length refering to the previous night so as to adapt to the different seasons. However, it will take some time to learn it.

Load Control Settings

1. Dusk to Dawn 

When solar module voltage goes below the point of NTTV (Night Time    

Threshold Voltage) at sunset, the  controller will recognize the starting 

voltage and turn on the load after 10 minutes delay. When solar module 

voltage goes above point of DTTV (Day Time Threshold Voltage), the solar 

controller will recognize the starting voltage and turn  off  the  load after 10 

minutes delay. 

2. Light ON + Timer 

When solar module voltage goes below the point of NTTV (Night Time    

Threshold Voltage) at sunset; the solar controller will recognize the starting 

voltage and turn on the load after 10 minutes delay. The load will be on for 

several hours which users set through LED digital tube. The  controller  has    

dual timer function. Please refer to table 4-5 “Load Work Mode Setting”.

3. Test mode                                           

This mode is the same as Dusk to Dawn. But there is no 10 minutes delay    

when  controller recognizes the starting voltage.  When below the starting 

voltage, the controller will turn on the load, if higher, it will turn off load. 

The test mode makes it easy to check the system installation.

4. Manual mode

This mode is to turn ON and OFF the load by manual.
