6. Начин инсталације
Ensure the controller is installed in a suitable location with adequate ventilation. Refer to the dimensions below for mounting.
Figure 6: Dimensional drawings for various SRNE MPL series models, including overall dimensions, mounting dimensions, and mounting hole diameter. For MPL2420, overall dimensions are 155*114*34mm, mounting dimensions are 116*102mm, and mounting hole diameter is φ3.5mm.
- MPL2420 Dimensions: Overall dimensions: 155*114*34mm. Mounting dimensions: 116*102mm. Mounting hole diameter: φ3.5mm.
- Ensure the mounting surface is flat and secure.
- Allow sufficient space around the controller for heat dissipation.
7. Load Mode Settings
The controller supports different load operation modes to suit various application scenarios.
- Light control + time control mode:
When the working time in the first period is set to "1 - 14", no sunlight is present, the solar panel voltage is lower than the light control voltage, and after a time delay, the controller will switch on the load. The load will be switched off after working for a preset period of time and the maximum working time is 15 hours.
- Normally on mode:
When the working time in the first period is set to "15", the load is a normally open module. The energized load keeps outputting, and this mode is suitable for loads which need 24-hour power supply.
- Режим пуњења:
When the working time in the first period is set to "0", the load does not work, only the charging function, charging during the day, and automatically entering the sleep mode at night, reducing system loss.

- Keep children away from the solar power system components.
КСНУМКС. Решавање проблема
This section provides general guidance for common issues. For specific error codes or complex problems, refer to the indicator status table or contact support.
- No Power/Indicators Off:
- Проверите прикључке батерије и волtage.
- Verify solar panel connections and ensure sufficient sunlight.
- Ensure the controller is correctly wired to the battery first.
- Батерија се не пуни:
- Проверите соларни панел волtagе и струја.
- Ensure solar panel is clean and not shaded.
- Verify PV indicator status (should be slow flash or steady on during charging).
- Check for reverse polarity on PV or battery connections.
- Учитавање не ради:
- Check load connections and ensure the load is not short-circuited or overloaded.
- Verify BAT indicator status (should not be off due to over-discharge protection).
- Check load mode settings (e.g., if in "charging mode", load will not operate).
- Уверите се да запремина батеријеtage is above the over-discharge return voltage.
- Заштита од превисоке температуре:
- Ensure the controller is installed in a well-ventilated area.
- Смањите температуру околине ако је могуће.
- Check for obstructions around the controller's heat sink.
