Quick Start Instructions

This section provides a brief overview of how to begin using your solar charge
controller. It is recommended that each user review the entire manual to ensure the best
possible performance as well as maximize years of worry-free service. It is highly
recommended that the connections be made in the following steps provided:

1. Mount the charge controller onto a clean, vertical flat surface. It is very important
to allow enough space both above and below the charge controller to ensure
maximum air flow.

2. After proper mounting is established, connect the battery to the charge controller
terminals. Be careful not to switch the polarities of the battery and do not allow
the bare wires to touch the metal casing of the charge controller.

3. Connect the solar (PV array) with the MC4 adapter kit cables. The green LED
indicator will light up if there is enough sunlight.

4. Optional: Connect the load if you have a 12VDC application. If the red LED
indicator light turns on, the battery capacity is low and needs to be charged
before completing the system installation.

5. After all connections are made, power ON the charge controller by pressing the
SET button.

6. To test the system for proper connections, press the SET button on the charge
controller until you see the number 17 (see description below).

7. Make sure the solar module(s) voltage and current do not exceed the ratings of
the charge controller.

Lighting Control Options

1. Press the SET button for about 5 seconds and select the desired lighting control
option. The LED will come on, which will indicate that you have selected an
option.

2. The controller requires about 10 minutes of continuous transition values before it
starts working properly. These constraints avoid false transitions due to lighting
or shading.
