Installation

Unpack and inspect all components. Choose a suitable location with maximum sunlight exposure.

Mount the panel: Use brackets to secure panel on roof, ground, or angled surface facing south (northern hemisphere).
Connect panel to controller: Use MC4 connectors to link panel cables to controller's PV input.
Connect battery: Attach controller's battery terminals to 12V battery (observe polarity).
Connect load: Optional connection of DC loads to controller's load terminals.
Check connections: Ensure all connections are tight and weatherproof.

WARNING! Install during low light conditions to avoid electric shock. Do not install near flammable materials.

First-Time Setup

After installation, power on the system and configure settings.

Initial check: Ensure battery is connected before panel to avoid controller damage.
Controller setup: Use buttons to set battery type (Gel, AGM, Flooded, User).
Voltage calibration: Verify battery voltage matches controller display.
Load settings: Configure load output mode (manual, timer, dusk-to-dawn).
Test charging: Observe LCD for charging indicators and current flow.

CAUTION! Never connect panel to controller without battery first. Keep panel covered during wiring.
