Charge controller in overvoltage fault

Three new smartsolar charge controllers installed. When 24v from batteries is applied to controllers everything is fine and remote display shows the voltage at 27v on each controller. When the PV voltage is applied the first two controllers operate fine but the the third controller goes into an overvoltage fault. When I check the remote display the first two controllers still show 27v while the third controller drops to 14v. Why is this happening?

Hi @Andrew Fjeldsted

Please make sure all controllers are setup for the correct battery type and -voltage

The 'third' controller seems to be setup for 12V
