1. General Information
1.1 Overview
Tracer Dream 100V series controller is based on advanced MPPT control
algorithm, with LCD displaying running status. The MPPT control algorithm can
minimize the maximum power point loss rate and loss time, quickly track the
maximum power point of the PV array and obtain the maximum energy from
solar modules under any conditions; and can increase the ratio of energy
utilization in the solar system by 20%-30% compared with a PWM charging
method.
Limiting the charging power and reducing charging power functions ensure the
system stable with over PV modules in high temperature environment.
With comprehensive electronic fault self-detecting functions and powerful
electronic protection functions built inside the controller, component damage
caused by installation errors or system failures can be avoided to the greatest
extent possible.

1.4 Maximum Power Point Tracking Technology

Due to the nonlinear characteristics of solar array, there is a maximum energy
output point (Max Power Point) on its curve. Traditional controllers, with switch
charging technology and PWM charging technology, can't charge the battery at
the maximum power point, so can't harvest the maximum energy available from
PV array, but the solar charge controller with Maximum Power Point Tracking
(MPPT) Technology can lock on the point to harvest the maximum energy and
deliver it to the battery.
The MPPT algorithm of our company continuously compares and adjusts the
operating points to attempt to locate the maximum power point of the array. The
tracking process is fully automatic and does not need user adjustment.
As the Figure 1-2, the curve is also the characteristic curve of the array, the
MPPT technology will ‘boost' the battery charge current through tracking the MPP.
Assuming 100% conversion efficiency of the solar system, in that way, the
following formula is established:

Input power (Ppv)= Output power

(PBat)

Input voltage (VMpp) *input current (IPV) =Battery voltage (VBat) *battery
current (IBat)

Normally, the VMpp is always higher than VBat, Due to the principle of conservation
of energy, the IBat is always higher than IPV. The greater the discrepancy between
VMpp &VBat, the greater the discrepancy between IPV& IBat. The greater the
discrepancy between array and battery, the bigger reduction of the conversion
efficiency of the system, thus the controller's conversion efficiency is particularly
2
important in the PV system.
Figure 1-3 is the maximum power point curve, the shaded area is charging range
of traditional solar charge controller (PWM Charging Mode), it can obviously
diagnose that the MPPT mode can improve the usage of the solar energy
resource. According to our test, the MPPT controller can raise 20%-30%
efficiency compared to the PWM controller. (Value may be fluctuant due to the
influence of the ambient circumstance and energy loss.)

Figure 1-3 Maximum Power Point Curve

In actual application, as shading from cloud, tree and snow, the panel maybe
appear Multi-MPP, but in actually there is only one real Maximum Power Point.
As the below Figure 1-3 shows:

Figure 1-4 Mutil-MPP Curve

If the program works improperly after appearing Multi-MPP, the system will not
work on the real max power point, which may waste most solar energy resources
and seriously affect the normal operation of the system. The typical MPPT
algorithm, designed by our company, can track the real MPP quickly and
accurately, improve the utilization rate of the array and avoid the waste of
resources.
1.5 Battery Charging Stage
The controller has a 3 stages battery charging algorithm (Bulk Charging, Boost
Charging and Float Charging) for rapid, efficient, and safe battery charging.

Figure 1-5 Lead acid Battery Figure 1-6 Li Battery charging

charging stage Curve stage curve
(1) Bulk Charging
In this stage, the battery voltage has not yet reached boost voltage, the
controller operates in constant current mode, delivering its maximum
current to the batteries (MPPT Charging).
(2) Boost Charging
When the battery voltage reaches the boost voltage set point, the controller
will start to operate in constant charging mode, this process is no longer
MPPT charging, and in the meantime the charging current will drop
gradually, the process is not the MPPT charging. The Boost stage maintain
2 hours in default. When the accumulate time reach to 2hours, the charging
mode will turn to Float charging.
(3) Float Charging
After the boost voltage stage, the controller will reduce charging current to
Float Voltage set point. This stage will have no more chemical reactions and
all the charge current transforms into heat and gas at this time. Then the
controller reduces the voltage to the floating stage, charging with a smaller
voltage and current. It will reduce the temperature of the battery and prevent
the gassing and charging the battery slightly at the same time. The purpose
of Float stage is to offset the power consumption caused by self
consumption and small loads in the whole system, while maintaining full
battery storage capacity.
In Float charging stage, loads are able to obtain almost all power from solar
panel. If loads exceed the power, the controller will no longer be able to
maintain battery voltage in Float charging stage. If the battery voltage
remains below the Recharge Voltage, the system will leave Float charging
stage and return to Bulk charging stage.
2 Installation Instructions
2.1 General Installation Notes
 Please read the entire installation instructions to get familiar with the
3
 installation steps before installation.
 Be very careful when installing the batteries, especially flooded lead-acid
battery. Please wear eye protection, and have fresh water available to wash
and clean any contact with battery acid.
 Keep the battery away from any metal objects, which may cause short circuit
of the battery.
 Explosive battery gases may come out from the battery during charging, so
make sure ventilation condition is good.
 Ventilation is highly recommended if mounted in an enclosure. Never install
the controller in a sealed enclosure with flooded batteries! Battery fumes
from vented batteries will corrode and destroy the controller circuits.
 Loose power connections and corroded wires may result in high heat that
can melt wire insulation, burn surrounding materials, or even cause fire.
Ensure tight connections and use cable clamps to secure cables and
prevent them from swaying in mobile applications.
 Lead-acid battery and lithium battery are recommended, other kinds please
refer to the battery manufacturer.
 Battery connection may be wired to one battery or a bank of batteries. The
following instructions refer to a singular battery, but it is implied that the
battery connection can be made to either one battery or a group of batteries
in a battery bank.
 Multiple same models of controllers can be installed in parallel on the same
battery bank to achieve higher charging current. Each controller must have
its own solar module(s).
 When selecting connection wires for the system, follow the criterion that the
current density is not larger than 5A/mm2.
2.2 PV Array Requirements
(1) Serial connection (string) of PV modules
As the core component of PV system, controller could be suitable for various
types of PV modules and maximize converting solar energy into electrical energy.
According to the open circuit voltage (Voc) and the maximum power point
voltage (VMpp) of the MPPT controller, the series number of different types PV
modules can be calculated. The below table is for reference only.

NOTE: The above parameter values are calculated under standard test
conditions (STC (Standard Test Condition) ： Irradiance 1000W/m2, Module
Temperature 25℃, Air Mass1.5.)
(2) Maximum PV array power
The MPPT controller has the function of current/power-limiting, that is, during the
charging process, when the charging current or power exceeds the rated
charging current or power, the controller will automatically limit the charging
current or power to the rated charging current or power, which can effectively
protect the charging parts of controller, and prevent damages to the controller
due to the connection of some over-specification PV modules. The actual
operation of PV array is as follows:
Condition 1:
Actual charging power of PV array ≤ Rated charging power of controller
Condition 2:
Actual charging current of PV array ≤ Rated charging current of controller
When the controller operates under "Condition 1" or "Condition 2" , it will carry
out the charging as per the actual current or power; at this time, the controller
can work at the maximum power point of PV array.
WARNING: When the power of PV is not greater than the rated charging
power, but the maximum open-circuit voltage of PV array is more than
100V(at the lowest environmental temperature), the controller may be
damaged.
Condition 3:
Actual charging power of PV array＞Rated charging power of controller
Condition 4:
Actual charging current of PV array＞Rated charging current of controller
When the controller operates under "Condition 3" or "Condition 4", it will carry
out the charging as per the rated current or power.
WARNING: When the power of PV module is greater than the rated
charging power, and the maximum open-circuit voltage of PV array is more
than 100V(at the lowest environmental temperature), the controller may be
damaged.
According to "Peak Sun Hours diagram", if the power of PV array exceeds the
rated charging power of controller, then the charging time as per the rated
power will be prolonged, so that more energy can be obtained for charging the
battery. However, in the practical application, the maximum power of PV array
4
 shall be not greater than 1.5 x the rated charging power of controller. If the
maximum power of PV array exceeds the rated charging power of controller
too much, it will not only cause the waste of PV modules, but also increase the
open-circuit voltage of PV array due to the influence of environmental
temperature, which may make the probability of damage to the controller rise.
Therefore, it is very important to configure the system reasonably. For the
recommended maximum power of PV array for this controller, please refer to
the table below:

2.3 Wire Size
The wiring and installation methods must conform to all national and local
electrical code requirements.
PV Wire Size
Since PV array output can vary due to the PV module size, connection method
or sunlight angle, the minimum wire size can be calculated by the Isc＊ of PV
array. Please refer to the value of Isc in the PV module specification. When PV
modules connect in series, the Isc is equal to a PV modules Isc. When PV
modules connect in parallel, the Isc is equal to the sum of the PV module's Isc.
The Isc of the PV array must not exceed the controller's maximum PV input
current. Please refer to the table as below:
NOTE: All PV modules in a given array are assumed to be identical.
＊Isc=short circuit current(amps) Voc=open circuit voltage.

＊These are the maximum wire sizes that will fit the controller terminal
2.4 Mounting
Warning: risk of explosion! Never install the controller and an open battery in
the same enclosed space! Nor shall the controller be installed in an enclosed
space where battery gas may accumulate.
Warning: danger of high voltage!
Photovoltaic arrays may produce a very
high open-circuit voltage. Open the
breaker or fuse before wiring, and be very
careful during the wiring process.
Note: when installing the controller, make
sure that enough air flows through the
controller's radiator, and leave at least
100mm of space both above and below the
controller so as to ensure natural
convection for heat dissipation. If the
controller is installed in an enclosed box,
make sure the box delivers reliable heat
dissipation effect.
Figure 2-1 Mounting
2.5 Installation Procedure
Step 1: choose the installation site
Do not install the controller at a place that is subject to direct sunlight, high
temperature or water intrusion, and make sure the ambient environment is
well ventilated.
Step 2: Place the controller at a proper position, use a screw driver to fit
screws in mounting hole.
CAUTION: If the controller is to be installed in an enclosed box, it is
important to ensure reliable heat dissipation through the box.
Step 3: wire
Connect the system in the order of
❶battery ❷ PV array ❸load in
accordance with Figure 2-2,
“Schematic Wiring Diagram” and
disconnect the system in the reverse
order❸❷❶.

②Connection in parallel

Figure 2-2 Schematic of wiring diagram

CAUTION: While wiring the controller do not close the circuit breaker or
fuse and make sure that the leads of "+" and "-" poles are connected correctly.
CAUTION: A fuse which current is 1.25 to 2 times the rated current of the
controller, must be installed on the battery side with a distance from the battery
not greater than 150 mm.
CAUTION: If an inverter is to be connected to the system, connect the
inverter directly to the battery, not to the load side of the controller.
Step 4：Connect accessories
①Connect the remote temperature sensor cable to the interface
and place the other end close to the battery
②Plug the external Bluetooth or WiFi module into the RJ45
interface and the indicator light on the module will be on.
Step 5：Power on the controller
After connecting all power wires solidly and reliably, check again whether
wiring is correct and if the positive and negative poles are reversely connected.
After confirming that no faults exist, first close the fuse or breaker of the battery,
then see whether the LED indicators light up and the LCD screen displays
information. If the LCD screen fails to display information, open the fuse or
breaker immediately and recheck if all connections are correctly done.
If the battery functions normally, connect the solar panel. If sunlight is intense
enough, the controller's charging indicator will light up or flash and begin to
charge the battery.
After successfully connecting the battery and photovoltaic array, finally close
the fuse or breaker of the load, and then you can manually test whether the
load can be normally turned on and off. For details, refer to information about
load working modes and operations.
Warning: when the controller is in normal charging state, disconnecting the
battery will have some negative effect on the DC loads, and in extreme cases,
the loads may get damaged.
Warning: within 10 minutes after the controllers stops charging, if the
battery's poles are reversely connected, internal components of the controller
may get damaged.
Note:
1) If no remote temperature sensor is connected to the controller, the
battery temperature value will stay at 25 °C.
2) If an inverter is deployed in the system, directly connect the inverter to
the battery, and do not connect it to the controller's load terminals.

4.3 Maintenance
The following inspections and maintenance tasks are recommended at least
two times per year for best performance.
 Make sure controller firmly installed in a clean and dry ambient.
 Make sure no block on air-flow around the controller. Clear up any dirt and
fragments on radiator.
 Check all the naked wires to make sure insulation is not damaged for
solarization, frictional wear, dryness, insects or rats etc. Repair or replace
some wires if necessary.
 Tighten all the terminals. Inspect for loose, broken, or burnt wire
connections.
 Confirm that all the system components are ground connected tightly and
correctly.
 Confirm that all the terminals have no corrosion, insulation damaged, high
temperature or burnt/discolored sign, tighten terminal screws to the
suggested torque.
 Check for dirt, nesting insects and corrosion. If so, clear up in time.
 Check and confirm that lightning arrester is in good condition. Replace a
new one in time to avoid damaging of the controller and even other
equipments.
WARNING：Risk of electric shock!
Make sure that all the power is turned off before above operations, and then
