Xantrex SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER 30 User Manual

NOTICE
REVERSE POLARITY
n Ensure that the "+" and "–" poles on both the battery and PV
are connected correctly.
n Check polarity at all terminals before making the final DC
connection. Pos(+) (red) cable must connect to "+" pole; Neg
(–) (black) cable must connect to "–" pole.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in non-
operation of equipment.
Output power from the PV array varies depending on PV module size,
connection method, or sunlight angle, the minimum wire size may be
calculated using the short circuit current rating (Isc
1
) of the PV array.
Refer to the value of Isc in the manufacturer's PV module data
specification sheet.
NOTE: The Isc of the PV array (which includes a 25% safety factor)
must not exceed the charge controller's maximum PV input current of
30A.
Refer to Table 2 for sizing PV and battery wires.
