Operating/Maintenance Instructions

This sign was constructed as an Eagle Project for Tyler Colenbrander from Troop 73
and completed on 08/08/2018. No regular maintenance or inspection is required, but
these instructions outline the workings of the system if maintenance is necessary. If
problems arise please contact:

System Description:
The sign is 4 feet by 8 feet, made from a ½” thick acrylic material, held in place
by the 8 brackets located on the edges. It is set in a wooden frame made from pressure
treated 2x8s, held together by brackets at each corner and ¾” marine grade plywood on
the back. The sign frame is mounted on two 6x6 pressure treated posts, set 4 feet apart
and 4 feet into the ground. The topmost point of each post is about 8 feet off of the
ground and the sign itself is about 4 feet tall. These measurements can be found on the
schematic on page 3.
The solar panel is mounted on top with Unirac equipment and it is tilted about 16
degrees at a 185 degrees azimuth. The wires are fed through conduit running down the
back of the left post and down to the battery box on that post. Wires also extend from
the LED tape lights inside of the sign to the battery box, through conduit on the back of

Page 1 of 18
the sign. The electrical components in the battery box can be seen in the schematic on
page 4.

Lighting Control:
The charge controller, in conjunction with the timer, controls the the lighting.
When initially constructed, the settings were as follows:

Charge Controller: Turn on load (LEDs) at sunset, Turn off at sunrise

Timer: Channel 1: Turn on at 4pm, Turn off at 11:45pm. Channel 2: Turn on at 5am,
Turn off at 8am.

When working together, these turn on the lights at sunset and they turn off at
11:45pm. They turn on again at 5am and off at sunset. These settings should not have
to be changed, but if necessary, to program the charge controller, instructions can be
found in the document at the following link:
http://support.morningstarcorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/SSMPPT.APP_.Lightin
g-Control.03.EN_1.pdf

If the link does not work, go to morningstarcorp.com and go to tech support, and
select the SunSaver MPPT. The Lighting Control document should be found in the Tech
Notes category. Note that you will also need the cable to connect the charge controller
to the computer. Contact one of the contacts listed above if you need the cable.
To program the timer, refer to the timer data sheet on page 15.

SOLAR CONTROLLER WITH MAXIMUM 15 Amps at

POWER POINT TRACKING 12/24 Volts DC

Morningstar’s SunSaver MPPT solar controller with TrakStar Technology™ is an advanced maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) battery charger for off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems. The controller features a smart tracking
algorithm that maximizes the energy harvest from the PV and also provides load control to prevent over discharge
of the battery.
The SunSaver MPPT is well suited for both professional and consumer PV applications including automatic lighting
control. Its charging process has been optimized for long battery life and improved system performance. This
product is epoxy encapsulated for environmental protection, may be adjusted by the user via four settings switches
or connection to a personal computer, and has an optional remote meter and battery temperature sensor.

Key Features and Benefits

 Maximizes Energy Harvest  Personal Computer Connectivity

Our TrakStar MPPT Technology features:
• Peak efficiency of over 97%
• Almost no power losses
• Recognition of multiple power peaks during
shading or mixed PV arrays
• Excellent performance at low solar insolation levels
 Use of High Voltage Modules
Enables the use of high voltage and thin film modules
for off-grid battery charging.
 Higher Voltage PV Arrays
Provides a means to use a higher voltage PV array to 
charge either a 12V or 24V battery.
 Lower System Cost
Less expensive than other MPPT controllers and
is affordable in smaller PV systems up to 400Wp. 
Allows system costs to be reduced by down-sizing
the PV array, using on-grid or thin film modules and
decreasing cable sizes.

 Load Control
Automatically disconnects loads when the battery has
been discharged to a low state of charge. 
• NEW USB MeterBus Adapter for laptop compatibility.
• PC MeterBus Adapter for RS-232.
• Fully adjustable user selection via on-board preset
switches or customized with PC connection.
• Advanced automatic custom programmable lighting
control with a PC connection.
• Extensive controller and system data is provided by
the status LED’s and optional meter. Monitoring is
also available with a personal computer.
• 30 days of internal data logging of key PV system
operating parameters.
Smaller Size
Mechanical dimensions are less than other MPPT
controllers, making it easier to install in equipment
enclosures.
Highly Reliable
Efficient electronics, a conservative thermal design and
tropicalization result in high reliability and long life.
Extensive Electronic Protections
Fully protected against most system errors and faults.
Longer Battery Life
Efficient MPPT tracking and 4-stage charging increases
battery life.
