TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Problem

Module doesn't click on charge relay and there is sunlight on the PV panels.

Solution

Verify that the battery voltage is less than 12.70V (or 25.4V on a 24V DC system) for temperatures between

15-358C (see Temperature Threshold setting previous page) and that the open PV voltage is greater than 16V

or (32V). If both conditions are met, wait for the 4 minute delay period to cycle.

Try resetting the PVLC-40MD by disconnecting the Black wire for 10 seconds and then reconnecting it,

PVLC-40MD will go thru it's startup routine and click out the switch settings, then to normal operation.

Problem

Module clicks every several minute .

Solution

This is the normal operating sequence.

Problem

Module charges for a few seconds then shuts off for 4 minutes.

Solution

The Batteries are fully charged and the charge current was at maximum output, verify battery voltage is greater

than 14.2VDC. It may also mean that the Batteries have a poor connection or a bad cell with high internal

resistance.

Problem

Module switches on for 1 or 2 minutes and then is off for a much longer period of time.

Solution

This is also normal if the battery is at or nearly fully charged and the PV charge current is at or near maximum.

Problem

The battery load has been left on and the storage battery has discharged below 8V DC. The PV system is not

charging when the load is turned off.

Solution

The PVLC-40MD needs at least 9.5V DC from the battery to operate properly. Place the panel in direct sunlight

and jumper the red and yellow wires for a few minutes, thus bypassing the charge controller allowing the

battery voltage to rise to at least 8V DC. Disconnecting the jumper will allow the PVLC-40 to charge the

battery up to normal levels.

Problem

The module is set for lighting control and at dusk fails to turn on lights.

Solution

The PVLC-40MD checks the battery voltage at dusk to see if batteries are greater than 12V (or 24V) DC,

sufficient to run lights. If not, it locks out lighting relay until the solar panels have charged battery above 12V

DC (24V DC).

Problem

The motion detector does not indicated movement after power up.

Solution

The motion detector has a 30 to 45 second delay before sensing movement.
