Tycon Solar unique PoE/Solar charge controllers have dual inputs to charge batteries from a PoE source and also a secondary source like solar panels in order to provide redundancy and insure 100% uptime for critical applications. The solar panel input takes priority so that when the sun is shining the grid power usage is minimized. They have a built in PoE inserter with DC to DC converter that delivers 48V at the PoE port. They have full electronic protections for short circuit, reverse current, overvoltage, overcharge and over discharge.

They have five LED indicators to give a quick visual status if current is being supplied by a PoE source or solar panel, if battery is charging, If load output is turned on and a warning if battery is connected with reverse polarity. Solar and Battery Connections are via 5 screw terminals for wire size up to 10AWG. PoE Input and Output is via 2 RJ45 shielded connectors. There is a secondary output connector on the back with 5 screw terminals for connecting other electronics to the controller using up to 10AWG wire. This secondary output is equal to the battery voltage. The controllers are externally fused with a standard replaceable fuse.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What differences can I expect when switching my batteries to LiFePO4?

LIT is a battery settings mode.  When switching to LIT, the S parameters should be the same as the previous default settings.

When battery voltage falls below 10V the battery BMS disconnects the battery discharge. As soon as there is PV voltage the battery BMS connects the charge and discharge. We recommend the customer set the LOAD Output turnoff at 11V so tha load disconnects before the battery BMS disconnects the discharge.

 

We recommend that you just leave the parameters set to AGM Lead Acid. This is how the Lithium battery BMS is designed. The AGM Lead Acid settings in the charge controller are compatible with the battery BMS.

You won’t see voltage spikes when connected to the battery (BMS), even if the battery BMS disconnects the discharge.  No firmware updates are available or needed to switch from AGM lead acid to lithium.

Procedure for toggling the LOAD in the Firmware?

Having physical access to the TPDIN-WEB3 Monitor and log into  it.

Select the MPPT tab

What you need to do now is to make sure the enable Load Toggle is selected

At this point you will toggle the load to off then back to On then uncheck the Enable Toggle Load box.

This makes changes to the firmware in the charge controller so now power down your controller – disconnect solar charging then disconnect the batteries by removing the fuse

Wait 1 minute then reconnect the batteries and verify everything comes back on including your load. If everything is back on then reconnect your solar.

My WEB3 is connected to the MPPT solar controller with an RS485 serial cable but the current readings are all zero on the MPPT display and in the WEB3 MPPT page

The ground between the V- load output on the MPPT solar controller and the TPDIN-Monitor-WEB3 V- needs to be isolated for the MPPT controller to sense the currents properly.

A TP-DCDC-1224 DCDC converter can be used to isolate the power and solve this issue.

I have a Tycon MPPT solar charge controller. My batteries are wired for 24V, but they are so low the controller thinks they are 12V batteries and won’t charge them

The MPPT charge controllers by default are set for 12V/24V auto detect. Using the keys on the front of the unit go into the settings and set for 24V battery instead of 12/24 auto detect. Save the setting. Power down the unit by disconnecting the solar and then battery. Power up the unit. It should power up in 24V battery mode. Re-connect the solar input.

    I bought two of these units TP-SCPOE-1248) POE/Solar Dual Input 12V to power two Axis cameras located at a remote site: no power or internet. The have been working beautifully.
