STEP 0: Mount the solar panel to the bracket and to the pole. It’s best
to mount so that the solar panel shades the enclosure.
STEP 1: Connect the Battery to Controller BAT terminals. Be sure to
observe polarity. Black wire connects to battery negative terminal and
BAT(-) terminal on the controller. When a fully charged battery is connected, the Green LOAD LED should light on controller.
STEP 2: Install battery to enclosure with battery terminals on right. In-
stall metal plate using 8 screws.
STEP 3: Install Cable Feedthru into center hole in bottom of enclosure.
Feedthru gasket is on outside of enclosure and nut inside. Tighten nut.
OPTION: add a drop of threadlocker to the nut t o prevent acci-
dental loosening.
STEP 4: Install two bracket pieces to the back of enclosure using 4
screws. Bracket can be used for wall mounting or pole mounting.
STEP 5: Wir e solar panel to the cont roller solar inp u ts. Observ e
proper polarity. The solar panel should be facing South if in Northern
Hemisphere. Face North if in southern hemisphere.
STEP 6: Mount any electronics boards to the metal plate. Connect
your load to the controller LOAD output.
On the bottom of the enclosure there are two double D cutouts for
standard N Female bulkhead connectors which can be used for an external antenna or RF device. Just remove the hole plug to use this cutout.

then carefully close the cover, making sure that wires are clear of the
seam and hinge area.

reconnects when the battery reaches 12V. This protects battery from
over-discharge and increases battery life and performance.
