3. Installation
General Information
The mounting location is important to the performance and operating life of the
controller. The environment must be dry and protected from water sources. If required,
the controller may be installed in a ventilated enclosure with sufficient air flow. Never
install the controller in a sealed enclosure. The controller may be mounted in an
enclosure with sealed batteries, but never with vented/flooded batteries. Battery
fumes from vented batteries will corrode and destroy the controller’s circuits.
Multiple controllers can be installed in parallel to the same battery bank to achieve
higher charging current. Additional controllers, connected in parallel, may be added in
the future. Each controller must have its own solar array and sized the same.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage or Risk of Explosion
Never install the controller in an enclosure with vented/flooded batteries. Battery fumes
are flammable and will corrode and destroy the controller circuits.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
When installing the controller in an enclosure, ensure proper ventilation. Installation in
a sealed enclosure will lead to over-heating and lessen controller’s overall life.
The installation is straight-forward, but it is important each step is done correctly and
safely. A mistake can lead to dangerous voltage and current levels. Be sure to carefully
follow each instruction. Read all instructions first before beginning installation.
