SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read these instructions before installing or operating the Charge Controller to
prevent personal injury or damage to the Charge Controller.
General
Installation and wiring compliance
• Installation and wiring must comply with the local and National Electrical
Codes and must be done by a certied electrician.
Preventing electrical shock
• The negative system conductor should be properly grounded. Grounding
should comply with local codes.
• Disassembly / repair should be carried out by qualied personnel only.
• Disconnect all input and output side connections before working on any
circuits associated with the Charge Controller. Turning the on/off control on
the Charge Controller to off position may not entirely remove dangerous
voltages.
• Be careful when touching bare terminals of capacitors. The capacitors may
retain high lethal voltages even after the power has been removed. Discharge
the capacitors before working on the circuits.
Installation environment
• The Charge Controller should be installed indoor only in a well ventilated,
cool, dry environment
• Do not expose to moisture, rain, snow or liquids of any type.
Preventing re and explosion hazards
• Working with the Charge Controller may produce arcs or sparks. Thus, the
Charge Controller should not be used in areas where there are inammable
materials or gases requiring ignition protected equip ment. These areas may
include spaces containing gasoline powered machinery, fuel tanks, battery
compartments.
Precautions when working with batteries
• Batteries contain very corrosive diluted sulphuric acid as electrolyte.
Precautions should be taken to prevent contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
• Batteries generate hydrogen and oxygen during charging resulting in
evolution of explosive gas mixture. Care should be taken to ventilate the
battery area and follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or ame near the batteries.
