May 13, 20242 yr My Nomad 80 Regulator / Solar Charge Controller has failed being less than 2 years old. A "Ground Fault" error is displayed and the solar power is disconnected. The manual calls for the replacing of a 600mAh fuse which I have checked with a continuity meter and there is continuity. I cannot see that the fuse wire between the fuse caps is broken. There are no burn marks which can sometimes be seen when a fuse blows. I have logged a fault with the installers this morning (09:50) and there is no response so far as of 13/05/2024 14:10 The eTracer was replaced by the Nomad when I did an upgrade (Solar Charge Controller, Freedom Won 10/8), and fed 4 x Nerada 150Ah batteries (48V) at the time. Can the eTracer be used as a work around while the Nomad is being repaired, if not a permanent solution. The Nomad was selected as the long-term plan is to add another 3kW solar panels which the eTracer cannot support - only has one port at 60A. From reading the Freedom Won documentation, it appears that I need a cable (CAN BUS?) between the Freedom Won and the solar charge controller and this cable needs a specific pinout. The eTracer documentation (attached) is not great. From the document, it has a Remote Temperature Sensor Port (MC1.5-3.81-2l) and a CAN Bus Port (MC1.5-3.81-2l) It is not clear from the photo which is the CAN BUS port, as there are lables for RS-485 and RS-232. The Battery Remote port can be seen. There is also a pin out for on a lable, but it is not clear if this refers to the "New Features Interface Reserved" Do I need a cable between the Freedom Won and the eTracer assuming that I can use the eTracer? eTracer ET6415BND Regulator.pdf Edited May 13, 20242 yr by SRTosen Spelling error
