Q: When will the green FULL LED light up?
he green FULL LED when the battery voltage reaches
14.2 Volts DC (reached with panels still connected). At 14.2 Volts, the controller opens
the circuit to prevent the current from the solar array from going to the battery and thus
for only an instant as the battery voltage drops quickly below 14.2V. As the battery is
more or more charged, the green FULL LED will be “ON” more and more (alternating
and green FULL). When the battery is fully charged, we

7 Amp Battery Charge Controller INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTES - Please read this first
of the battery in a cool, dry and well ventilated area.
• DO NOT USE MORE THAN 105 Watt of solar power with this 7Amp CONTROLLER
• ALL connections should be in PARALLEL (Positive to Positive, Negative to Negative). Insure that connections are clean and so lid.
• For all additions, use 16 or 14 AWG (gauge) wires. Always CONNECT the BATTERY FIRST, and DISCONNECT the BATTERY LAST.
1. CONNECT PANELS: Connect the solar panels to the master cable matching connectors blue to blue and yellow to yellow.
2. CONTROLLER TO BATTERY CONNECTION: Connect the controller’s “battery side” positive (red) wire to the positive side of the
battery. Then, connect the negative (black) wire of the controller to the negative side of the battery.
3. CONTROLLER TO PANEL CONNECTION: Connect master cable to the charge controller matching connectors red to yellow and
black to blue.
OPERATION
YELLOW LIGHT ON:
- Solar panel is charging the battery.
- When battery voltage is below 13Volts the charger cuts in and begins the charging operation.
GREEN LIGHT ON:
- Battery is fully charged.
- When battery voltage reaches 14.2Volts the Controller cuts out and will minimize voltage while monitoring battery. This will protect
battery from damaging overcharge. During normal operations the yellow and green lights may blink alternately with varying intensities.
