Product overview This negative grounding MPPT solar charge controller tracer1206AN provides accurate maximum power point tracking for reliable solar charging, supports 12V and 24V systems, and includes an XLR cable and MT50 display for quick installation and monitoring. It is compatible for Leoch solar power station 2000W when used to add an additional panel string. Key benefits Higher charging efficiency: Advanced MPPT tracking identifies and follows multiple power points for tracking efficiency greater than 99.5% and peak conversion efficiency up to 98%, improving solar harvest. Expandable input for compatible power stations: With the included XLR cable and MPPT controller, you can add one more set of 300W solar panels to expand total solar input to 600W for the compatible 2000W solar power station. Safe operation and overload protection: Automatic limit for maximum PV input power and builtin current limiting (10A) prevent overload and reduce risk of damage. Multichemistry battery support: Works with sealed, gel, flooded leadacid batteries, userdefined leadacid types, and lithium types including LiFePO4 and Li(NiCoMn)O2, allowing flexible system design. Easy monitoring and configuration: Onboard LCD provides realtime working data and error codes. MT50 remote display/controller is included for convenient live data viewing and parameter setting. Key specifications Model: tracer1206AN System voltage: 12V/24V autoidentifying Rated maximum PV input power: 130W for 12V systems, 260W for 24V systems Maximum PV input voltage: 60V Maximum charging current: 10A (current limiting present) Grounding: Negative ground Included accessories: XLR cable and MT50 remote display Display: LCD for realtime data and diagnostics Function and performance highlights MPPT algorithm: Accurate multipoint tracking to find operating point and maximize energy conversion. Conversion performance: tracking efficiency over 99.5% and peak conversion efficiency of 98% help shorten charging time and increase usable energy from panels. Automatic safety limits: The controller automatically limits PV input to prevent overload and supports multiple load control methods for safer operation. Flexible battery settings: Factory presets for common battery types plus a user option for custom battery parameters. Compatibility and physical considerations Designed for 12V or 24V battery banks; automatically detects system voltage. Compatible with a wide range of leadacid and lithium battery chemistries. Suitable for solar panels sized up to 130W on 12V systems or up to 260W on 24V systems when connected directly to the controller. Negative grounding requirement: install and wire according to system grounding configuration. Practical use scenarios Expanding a 2000W portable solar power station: Use the included XLR cable and the MPPT controller to connect an additional 300W panel string, increasing total solar input to 600W for compatible 2000W stations to shorten recharge time. Offgrid cabin or workshop: Pair a 12V battery bank and a solar array up to 130W with this controller to manage charging efficiently, monitor status on the LCD, and adjust parameters using the MT50. Small RV or marine 24V setup: Control charging for a 24V battery system with panels up to 260W, benefit from precise MPPT tracking, and rely on builtin current limiting to protect the battery and wiring. What is included tracer1206AN MPPT solar charge controller XLR cable for compatible station connection MT50 remote display and controller for realtime monitoring and parameter setting Installation and operation notes Ensure system grounding matches the negative grounding design of the controller. Verify system voltage matches battery bank before connection; the controller autodetects 12V or 24V. Observe the maximum PV input voltage of 60V and the maximum input power ratings for your system configuration. Use the MT50 or keypad and LCD to configure battery type and system parameters for charging. This controller is intended for users who need precise MPPT charging, multichemistry battery compatibility, and an option to expand solar input for compatible 2000W solar power stations.
