Why does the load output of my solar controller keep shutting down?
There are a couple reasons why the load output on the controller will turn off. 1. If the batteries get too low (11V for 12V battery and 22V for 24V battery 44V for 48V Battery) the load output will turn off. This is to save the batteries from ...
Which systems come with a pole?
All RemotePro systems with a 720W solar array or larger will come with a top of pole mount and a 6 inch round, 72 inch long pole that needs to be anchored to a concrete footing.
Can I add more devices to my RemotePro system without increasing the panels and batteries?
You may need to add additional panels or batteries in order to allow new equipment to be introduced. You can calculate it by going to: “https://tyconsystems.wpenginepowered.com/calculators” You will input your new total power draw, peak sunlight ...
How high should I install my solar panel and enclosure?
That will depend on your application. Mounting your enclosure and solar panels high above the ground will discourage vandalism. It’s important to mount the solar panels above any obstacles that may cause shade. Maximum sunlight exposure is most ...
Can I lengthen the cable between the solar controller and the solar panels?
Most of the Tycon RemotePro® systems come with a 20′ 12AWG cable. Sometimes a customer may want to mount the solar panels at a different location than the solar controller/batteries. This can be done as long as you understand that if you extend the ...
Where can I find a rackmount for my RPSTL/ENC-STL enclosure? Are there 2U or 4U rackmounts available for Tycon Large Enclosures?
We don’t offer rack mounts, other than the built-in 1U included in the STL enclosure, but they are available in the open market.
What information do you need to help me size a system?
We need to know the load in watts for each piece of equipment you plan to use. We also need to know the operational voltage for each piece of equipment and if it is powered through wires or PoE. A good way is to send us a spec sheet for the equipment ...
I have my system hooked up but I’m not getting the correct voltage out of the controller, what’s wrong with it?
Most often this might be caused by loose or incorrect connections, or the product is designed for a different application. First check the installation manual to be sure all connections are correct, and that the device is designed to supply the ...
Are the solar systems shipped complete with everything I need?
Systems are shipped with everything that is needed except the mounting pole or tower and CAT5 cables (if needed to interconnect equipment). Note: For 720W and 1300W solar systems, they come with the mounting pole included.
What hardware comes in my TPSM-80×4-UNI solar mount? The hardware included in the TPSM-80×4-UNI is as follows:

Minimum Equipment Needed: Good digital voltmeter which will display DC Volts for Battery Voltage. Measure battery voltage at the charger/controller System Voltage Expected Battery Voltage (charging Expected Battery Voltage (not-charging12V – 13.5VDC ...
How long will my battery backup power my equipment?
To figure out how long a battery backup system will keep your equipment powered there is a fairly simple calculation you can do: ((Battery Capacity (Ah) x Battery Voltage (12V)) x Percent Discharge (50%)) / Your Equipment Load (W) So let’s say your ...
Grounding a RemotePro and UPSPro system
Grounding our solar systems aren’t required. As long as the mounting pole is grounded, it is okay. If mounting a system to a pole or a location that isn’t properly grounded, it is recommended to install a grounding rod and wire for the system. Over ...
