Controller M 43 6AC is designed to optimi e the resistance

of boiler heating spiral and photovoltaic panels so that the
po er reached from the panels ill be as high as it is
possible. The controller is connected bet een solar panels
and heating spiral of the boiler. e u u e s
w c e ns e c n e c n e used w ny
e . It is possible to connect boiler heating spiral ith
po er consumption up to 3 . The input voltage can be
from 4 to 43 and ma imal input current can be 6 A. The
controller uses ne patented method of active search of
optimal or ing point MPPS Ma imum Po er Point
Searching hile empo ering. This method eliminates the
loss of performance in compare to MPPT method in case, that
the photovoltaic panels don t have the same features, such
as rated po er, different temperature or the aren t e uall
enlightened. There are used 6 ED diodes on the front panel
that indicates empo ering and actual output po er. using
the button on the board of the controller it is possible to save
to the memor a fe parameters nominal output voltage,
test period of po er of the panel and test period of the boiler
reconnection.

Installation and connection:

Controller is mounted on the all or on the panel the ider

side hori ontall so the ED diodes are above each other
on the non flammable pad. In the close area of the
controller, there can t be placed an flammable things. nder
and above the controller must be free space for the minimum
of mm, to ensure that there is sufficient ventilation of the
inside of the controller. Input ires can have crossover up to
6 mm , input ires can have crossover up to .5 mm . All
ires must be secured against pulling out from the terminals.
n the des of the controller ther are 6 clips
Terminal plus of the solar panel
Terminal I minus of the solar panel
Terminal first pole of heating spirale
Terminal second pole of heating spirale
e t t o terminals are not used.

Indication o t e olta e:

The controller has 6 ED indication diodes in total. The first green indicates
connection of input voltage. The other five hite indicates actual po er that is
related to ma imal possible po er consumption of the connected device at the
nominal voltage. If there is for e ample nominal consumption of the connected
boiler and if the light of ED diodes and 4 is on permanentl it
is actual po er 4 . igher accurac of output po er is indicated ith last
shining ED b blin ing. If the light is turning on shortl , it indicates po er 5
, if ED blin s , indicates po er , if the ED is turning off shortl ,
indicates po er 5 . Indicated po er is updated once per second.
a le: po er 5 is indicated b permanentl shining diodes and 4
and blin ing ED diode 6 . If secondar output is turn on
permanentl , onl one ED is shining alternatel so called running sna e .
o ent: range of po er indication is affected b nominal output voltage that
is set up. If the nominal voltage of the panels is lo er, than nominal voltage of
boiler, it is possible to set up nominal output voltage, not according to the
nominal output voltage of the boiler, but according to nominal voltage of the
panels. It ill bring better po er indication.
a le: if the nominal voltage of the panels at ma imum po er is onl
and the nominal voltage of the boiler is 3 , so that hen the output voltage
indicator might sho in range onl from to 3 of nominal po er of boiler. If
there ill be settled up nominal output voltage to , hen the same
configuration of the panels and oile , the indicator ill sho in range to
, but the nominal voltage of anels.

otections:

The heat protection monitors the temperature of the heat sin . If the ma imal
temperature is e ceed and on the output is connected the boiler, the controller
limits the output po er, and if there is inverter connected, it ill be
disconnected temporaril . After the decrease of the temperature, the controller
restores the normal function.
n the controller board there are even basic overvoltage protections that bloc
overvoltage on the input and protect s itching transistors against spi es. In
case of danger of lighting stri e into the photovoltaic panels there must be
protection of the input connections against overvoltage b correctl dimensioned
over voltage protection.

ettin s:

For set up some of the parameters of the regulation, there is a button and
ED diode on the right side do n on the board under ED indicator . ith
this button ou can choose and confirm the parameter that ou ant to set
and save it to memor . ed ED diode ne t to button confirms the steps of
the setting.
For start of the setting, ou have to push the button shortl s so
man times, depended on hich parameter do ou ant set up. up to
3 , described in follo ing te t . Each push confirms ED diode ith short
blin . And then ith long s push, ou confirm the number of the
parameter. ED diode confirms the choice of the parameter ith long blin .
Then ou ill push the button shortl , so man times ho big the value of
the parameter should be ou can find it in Adjustable parameters . Each
push is confirmed ith short blin of the ED diode. Than ith long s
push is saved to memor . ED diode confirms saving of the value of the
parameter into memor ith five short blin s, the setting return bac to
starting position and it is possible to set up another parameter.
Factor setting of the controller is nominal voltage 3 , test period of the
panel 5 minutes and test period of the thermostat 5 minutes.

Input cables leading from the solar panels must be protected from the overvoltage
that can happen during atmospheric failures such as stri es , or there is a danger
of damage of semiconductor devices of the controller. Ma imal empo ering voltage
cannot e ceed 43 , that is h the number of the solar panels in series is limited
b this voltage number of the panels 43 ma imal no load voltage of the
panel . Minimal empo ering voltage should be 4 , if the voltage is lo er the
controller ill s itch off. Controller ta es care so that the voltage that goes to the
spiral of the boiler ill be the ma imal nominal voltage, even if the solar panels
can give more po er. The voltage on the outputs is DC that is h it is suitable onl
for empo ering of boilers, hich have special contactor controlled b thermostat
for s itching off the DC current. The controller cannot be empo ered from different
source than from the solar panels, because it detects connection of the device
according to the changes of the voltage on the input. In case of empo ering it b
for e ample stabili ed source hat voltage during the test ouldn t decrease so the
controller ould ta e it as a disconnected device and it ould s itch input voltage
on the secondar output. It is prohibited to connect other than resistive load such
as boiler on the outputs. Do not cover the controller, so it can cool. emove the
dust regularl hat can be inside the controller before the cleaning firstl
disconnect solar panels . Do the settings of the controller under po er of small
voltage for e ample 4 or use additional isolation hile touching the button,
because it isn t isolated from the voltage of solar panels.
