Hello. I ended up on this forum to get some help diagnosing a KID problem. My existing system uses two KID charge controllers. I'm adding a third KID with a completely separate array.
The KID was purchased as an "open box" from a popular online auction site.
I hooked everything up (solar array and battery).
The new KID starts up everything seems working.
When the solar array input voltage is measured with my multimeter I get about 90volts (measured at the connection terminals on the back of the KID). However, the KID input voltage only reads 24 +_ volts. Thus it remains resting and does not provide any output charging amps.
I have checked all fuses and tried resetting to default - same results. Measured input voltage from PV is significantly different from the INPUT voltage displayed on the KID. No charging output.
Looking for suggestions to fix the issue before purchasing a different charge controller. thank you
You could also check with Midnite for a repair estimate.
If it was me I would open it up and have to look to see if anything is obviously toasted in there. If it was something like a circuit board trace you could solder a piece of wire around it and see if that made it work. But that would be too easy of a fix !
