NDS Suncontrol2 MPPT controller with N-BUS
To get the maximum efficiency from your solar panels, we recommend the use of a MMPT controller in combination with your solar panel(s). MPPT controllers give an extra efficiency to your solar panel(s), up to 40%. The exact percentage depends on a number of factors, like the number of cells on your solar panel, the quantity of sunlight and your location. Although a MPPT controller always more interesting is then a normal controller, also because of the minimum price difference, a MPPT controller is the most effective in colder wheather conditions. In Spain the efficiency will be less compared to the UK or Scandinavian.
The microprocessor has 4 different automatic load curves, including the most important desulfation phase, which guarantees a longer life duration to your battery.
NDS has the Suncontrol2 provided with a professional terminal. The charge controller communicates based on actual communication protocols like N-BUS, LIN-BUS and CI-BUS. The SCE 320 M / 360M is the hart of your solar panel installation at your camper, caravan, ship or other vehicle or vessel. With the controller you can use th full potential of your NDS solar panels, now and in the future.
LiFePO4
By selecting so called jumpers in the charging controller you can select a battery type. The charging controller is in this way ready for LiFePO4; when using lithium batteries it's strongly recommended for a proper use to combine these with a NDS 3Link battery. A direct connection to a lithium battery accu is not recommended and not supported by NDS!

Connecting scheme
N-BUS technology
N-BUS is the multi device communication protocol fully developed by NDS and compatible with CI-BUS.
With N-BUS, your energy devices are connected and exchange information for more efficient onboard energy management. The network of devices has many advantages, such as easy firmware updates and simplified operation with one simple interface.
