Specifications for MPPT Tracer BN Marine Series Controllers
Tracer BN MPPT Controller
|
MT50 Remote Display
|
The Tracer BN marine series controllers are EP Solar’s second generation of MPPT controllers. They have rapid MPP (Maximum Power Point) calculation capability to achieve the maximum output of a solar array. At 99.5% efficiency they are one of the most energy efficient controllers available which means they will convert the maximum amount of solar energy to battery charging power.
These controllers also have extensive communication ability. You can monitor your solar panel performance through your laptop computer or through the MT50 remote display. An option to monitor solar system performance through Bluetooth or WiFi is also available.
The die-cast aluminum design ensures excellent heat dispersion; no heat dissipating fans are required. The Tracer BN package includes the MT50 remote display. The Tracer BN can be programmed from the MT50 remote display or from a computer connected via special cable.

Accessories
Remote Display MT50 MT50 Tracer BN Controller Remote Display
The MT50 Remote Display is used to monitor the performance of the solar panels including volts, amps, watts and cumulative watts. It also displays the state of charge of the battery bank and the controller status. It is used to easily program the operating parameters of the Tracer BN controller.
The display includes a 10 foot (3 meter) cable with RJ45 connectors that simply plug into the controller and the display. This display is included with all of our Tracer BN Controllers. Features • Display all the operating data and system working status • Simple and convenient operation • Real-time alarm and failure information • Longer communication distance based on RS485 • Diversified load control modes : Manual Control, Light ON/OFF, Light ON+ Timer, Time Control • Specify battery type: Gel, sealed, flooded and User(programable) • Set Tracer BN programmable parameters • Accumulate and display energy statistics Click here to see the RT50 Instruction Manual |
Optional Remote Temperature Sensor
The optional remote temperature sensor constantly measures and displays storage battery temperature so the controller can adjust charge rate appropriately (slow down or stop charging if batteries get overheated). This is important for systems over 200 watts with lead acid batteries and especially important when using temperature sensitive gel batteries. This option could increase battery life by 100-200 charge/discharge cycles.
The sensor plugs into the Tracer BN Controller and is attached to the top of a battery in the battery bank with tape or adhesive. |
