QUICK START GUIDE:
1. For best results, use the thickest cable you can aord that will fit in the
connectors.
2. Make sure all screwed connections are as tight as possible.
3. Panel (PV) voltage must be higher than battery voltage.
A 12V battery is OK with a 12V or higher solar (PV) array, a 24V battery
will only work with a 24V or higher solar (PV) array.
4. Maximum open-circuit Panel (PV) array voltage is 100V
5. Ensure battery line has an adequate fuse or circuit breaker.
6. Very Important: Connect battery to controller BEFORE solar panel, and
check that the battery voltage is registering on the display. (Repeatedly
press “select” button until you see “Batt Voltage”).
7. Set your battery type before connecting the solar array to your regulator.
Full instructions for setting the battery type can be found on page 22.
A summary of common battery types can be found below.
SEL = Sealed Lead Acid (SLA, AGM)
GEL = Gel Battery
FLD = Flooded Cell (Lead acid with filler caps, car batteries etc)
LFP4S = 14.8V/12V Lithium Batteries
LPF8S = 29.8V/24V Lithium Batteries
8. Finally connect up the solar (PV) array and check that charging is
actually taking place (in the battery menu).
