Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your EPEVER XTRA4210N-G3 controller. Follow the connection sequence carefully.
2.1 Connection Sequence
- So batiri pọ mọ oludari.
- Connect the load to the controller.
- Connect the PV array (solar panels) to the controller.
Ìtẹ̀lé Ìjápọ̀: To disconnect the system, reverse the connection order: first disconnect the PV array, then the load, and finally the battery.
Figure 2: Recommended connection and disconnection order for the solar system components.
2.2 Wiring Recommendations
- The cable length for the battery should not exceed 3 meters.
- The recommended cable length for the PV array should not exceed 3 meters. If the PV array cable length is less than 3 meters, the system meets EN/IEC61000-6-3 requirements. If it exceeds 3 meters, the system may not meet these requirements.
- Controller Terminals: #6AWG (16mm²).
- Recommended Wire Cable: #8AWG (10mm²).

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your solar charge controller and battery system.
4.1 batiri Health
The controller's adaptive charging stages (bulk, absorption, float, equalization) are designed to prolong the lifecycle of batteries. Ensure correct battery type selection and parameter settings, especially for lithium batteries, to maintain optimal charging conditions.
4.2 System Idaabobo
The controller includes all-around electronic protection against reverse polarity, overcharging, over-discharging, overload, short-circuiting, and reverse current. These features protect the battery from being over-charged by solar modules and over-discharged by loads. Periodically inspect all connections for tightness and corrosion.
4.3 Ayika riro
The controller has a dustproof and waterproof design with IP33 enclosure, making it suitable for various environments. However, ensure it is installed in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture, to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance.

This section provides guidance on common issues and protective measures.
5.1 Output Overcurrent Protection
The XTRA4210N-G3 controller features intelligent overcurrent detection and dynamic load management. It quickly detects and responds to excessive current, adjusting output in milliseconds to prevent system overload and ensure continuous operation. This protects the solar system from damage due to overcurrent events.
Figure 9: Comparison of overcurrent protection in a typical system versus the XTRA-N G3 controller.
5.2 Battery Management System (BMS) Disconnection
The G3 version's constant voltage output and limited current features ensure the system runs smoothly even if the BMS disconnects the battery. This protects connected equipment and loads from interruption and potential damage.
5.3 Communication Issues
If experiencing issues with remote monitoring or parameter adjustment, ensure that communication accessories (e.g., BLE/WiFi Adapter, RS485 cable) are correctly connected and configured. Check the respective mobile app or PC software for error messages or connection status.
