3. Product Features
- 12/24V MPPT with 99% Tracking Technology: Features advanced tracking technology with tracking efficiency up to 99% and peak conversion efficiency up to 98%. It tracks the maximum power point of the array to get maximum power for battery charging and load.
- Pure Sine Wave Inverter: Provides 1000W continuous power and 2000W peak surge power with lower power consumption and high conversion efficiency. Pure sine wave output ensures stable voltage and current, extending appliance life and producing less noise than modified sine wave inverters.
- Convenient Built-in Bluetooth Module: The 40A MPPT controller can communicate via its built-in Bluetooth module or through the RJ12 port (RS485, cable included). This allows remote monitoring of solar panels, batteries, and loads, simplifying operation.
- Fully Safety Protections: The 1000W pure sine wave inverter includes comprehensive safety features such as low voltage protection, over voltage protection, inverter overheat prevention, output overload protection, and output short circuit protection.
- Digital LCD Screen: Displays critical information including battery power supply, battery input voltage, AC output voltage, and output power, enabling easy monitoring of the inverter's operational status.

5. Setup and Installation
5.1 Mounting the MPPT Charge Controller
- Choose a vertical surface protected from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and water.
- Ensure good ventilation. Check the ventilation clearance above the controller for at least 3.94 inches (100mm) and below the controller for at least 7.87 inches (200mm).
- Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the controller.
5.2 Wiring Connections
Follow the wiring sequence carefully to ensure safe and proper operation. Always connect the battery first, then the solar panels, and finally the load.
- Connect the Battery: Connect the battery cables to the BAT terminals on the MPPT controller. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). The controller will power on once the battery is connected.
- Connect the Solar Panels: Connect the solar panel cables to the PV terminals on the MPPT controller. Ensure correct polarity.
- Connect the DC Load (Optional): If using a DC load directly from the controller, connect it to the LOAD terminals.
- Connect the Inverter: Connect the 1000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter to the battery terminals (or a dedicated battery bank) using appropriate gauge cables. Ensure correct polarity.
5.3 Bluetooth Module Connection
The MPPT controller has a built-in Bluetooth module for wireless monitoring. For detailed instructions on Bluetooth installation and operation, refer to the official Redodo Power website: Redodo MPPT Controller Bluetooth Installation and Operation.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 MPPT Controller Display and Buttons
The digital LCD screen on the MPPT controller displays real-time system information. Use the control buttons to navigate through different display modes and adjust settings.
- Display Modes: Short press the 'UP' or 'DOWN' button to cycle through various parameters like battery voltage, charging current, load status, etc.
- Setting Parameters: Long press the 'SET' button to enter parameter setting mode. Use 'UP' and 'DOWN' to adjust values and 'SET' again to confirm.
6.2 Inverter Operation
- Turning On/Off: Use the ON/OFF switch on the inverter to power it on or off.
- Connecting AC Devices: Plug your AC appliances (up to 1000W continuous, 2000W peak) into the AC outlets on the inverter.
- Monitoring: The inverter's digital LCD screen displays AC output voltage, output power, and other relevant information.

This image shows the 1000W inverter connected to a fan, illustrating its suitability for various daily electrical appliances below 1000W, such as mobile phones, small electric drills, coffee machines, ovens, kettles, and fans.
7. Maintenance
- Regularly inspect all wiring connections for tightness and corrosion.
- Keep the MPPT controller and inverter clean and free from dust and debris to ensure proper heat dissipation.
- Check the battery terminals for any signs of corrosion and clean if necessary.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around both units to prevent overheating.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Controller/Inverter not powering on | Loose battery connection, low battery voltage, blown fuse. | Check battery connections, ensure battery voltage is above minimum operating level, inspect and replace fuses if necessary. |
| No solar charging | Solar panel disconnected, insufficient sunlight, incorrect PV polarity. | Verify solar panel connections, ensure panels are exposed to direct sunlight, check PV polarity. |
| Inverter overload/shutdown | Connected appliance exceeds inverter's rated power. | Reduce the load connected to the inverter. Ensure total wattage is within 1000W continuous / 2000W peak. |
| Bluetooth connection issues | Bluetooth disabled on device, app not installed, distance too far. | Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone, install the correct app, reduce distance to the controller (within 10M). |
