Contidente
The charge controller protects the battery from being overcharged by the solar energy as well as from being overused by the loads. The charging characteristics include several stages which include automatic adaptation to the ambient temperatures.
System Voltage
This product is intended for use at 12V and 24V system voltage.
Battery Type
The ECO-N-T is suitable for use with lead acid batteries (vented, GEL, or AGM type).
Low Voltage Disconnect Function
To prevent the battery against over-discharge this function automatically switches off the load output at a battery voltage lower than 11.0V (12 V systems) or 22.0V (24 V systems). As soon as the battery reaches a voltage of 12.8 V (12 V systems) or 25.6 V (24 V systems), the load output is switched on again.
Regulatory Information
C∈RoHS
Operation Notes
Warning: Indicates high voltage. Use caution when performing task.
Caution: Indicates a critical procedure for safe operation.
Note: Indicates important information for safe and easy installation and operation.
It is important the battery receives a full charge at least weekly. If not, the battery will get permanently damaged. The battery cannot receive a full charge if the loads are too large for the system.
Warnings & Safety Instructions
Please read the instructions and warnings in this manual before beginning installation.
Please do not disassemble or attempt to repair Phocos products. Phocos charge controllers do not contain user serviceable parts.
High Voltage Risks
Operation of this device may produce a high voltage which could cause severe injuries or death in case of improper installation or operation of this device.
Do not touch any electrical conductors to avoid electrical shock. Never work on live (energized) electrical equipment.
When working around a battery, do not allow tools to bridge the battery terminals or short circuit any part of the battery. Use only tools that have insulated handles.
PV modules can generate high DC voltages!
Mains and Charging Current Risks
Make sure the cables are always connected to the correct terminal. An electrical shock can be lethal.
Display Functions
The controller is equipped with 3 LEDs to display the operating status.
In normal operation, the controller shows the charging status, the battery SOC status and the load output status.
Charge Display
Controller connected to battery,
night detected
(Green LED on)
Controller connected to battery,
day detected
(Green LED flashes)
No battery connected
(Green LED off)
Battery SOC Display
When the battery voltage is indicated as low, it is recommended to use the remaining energy economically.
The charge controller will subsequently turn off the load.
OK (Yellow LED off) Battery voltage >12V
Low (Yellow LED on) 12V > Battery voltage > 11.5V
Very low (Yellow LED flashes) 11.5V > Battery voltage > 11V
Load Status Display
In case of deep discharge or overload/short circuit of load, the load output is switched off. This is indicated by:
Installation Instructions
Before you Begin
The controller is intended for indoor use only.
Protect the controller from direct sunlight and place it in a dry environment.
The controller and battery must be installed in the same room.
The controller warms up during operation; be sure it is installed on a non-flammable surface.
Connect the Controller
Please verify that all the cable/wire connections are made properly and well insulated so that no water or humidity can get in. This avoids any bad or loose connections that would result in excessive heating or further damage.
- *Connect the battery to the charge controller; Positive (+) & Negative (-).
- Connect the solar modules to the charge controller; Positive (+) & Negative (-) .
- Connect the load to the charge controller; Positive (+) & Negative (-).
cos strongly recommends installing an inline fuse as.
e to the battery terminal as possible.
