Installation Get ready the related tools & cables. We suggest you choose the appropriate cables to ensure the current density 4A/mm2 and this is good for reducing cable voltage drop. Recommendation 30A using 10mm2 cable 50A using 16 mm2 cable. Check whether installation place accords with the relative safety rules. Please avoid installing and using the controller under the following conditions: wet, dusty places or places with flammable and explosive gases. Install the controller at the vertical plane. Please refer to chapter 5 for more detailed info about the spacing between the installing holes. In order to make the controller have good thermal dissipation, please spare10cm above & below the controller.

As shown as the right figure, connect the loads, battery and solar panels with the controller in order. Pay attention to connect the loads, battery and solar panels ri ght. Plug the external thermal sensor into the interface of the thermal-sensor on the left of the controller. Disassemble: To avoid the accident, please dismantle the solar panels, battery, loads from the controller in order. Attention: Connecting the battery reversed will not damage the controller, but will 3 cause safety risk on your loads.

3. Parameter review and setting:

After the controller electrifies right, it will enter into the displaying interface of battery voltage. This interface is the main interface of the controller. P ress button to go through the interfaces of the following parameters. If the interface can be reset, press button for long( 5 seconds, and the number on the interface starts to flicker), then it enters into the setting interface of this parameter. After finishing setting, press button for long to exit the setting interface, and the number stops flickering.

3.9 Review and setting recovering voltage for low voltage condition
As shown as the right figure, the displaying number is the recovery number. After the controller enters into low voltage protection state, and when the battery voltage recovers to be higher than the recovering voltage, then the controller will reconnect the load loop automatically. V At this interface, press button ( 5 seconds),the number starts to flicker, and it means the controller enters into the interface of setting the recovery voltage. Use button to adjust this parameter. After finishing setting, press button ( 5 seconds) to exit this inte rface and the controller can store this setting number.

3.8 Review and setting low voltage protection function

As shown as the right figure, the displaying number is the LOAD V OFF protection voltage. And if the battery voltage is lower than this voltage, the controller will disconnect the load loop to prevent the battery from over-discharging. At this interface, press button for long( 5 seconds),the number starts to flicker, and it means the controller enters into the interface of setting the protection voltage. Use button to adjust this parameter. After finishing setting, press button for long ( 5 seconds) to exit this interface and the controller can store this setting number.

As shown as the right figure, the displaying number is the voltage of ceasing charging. When the battery voltage reaches up to this voltage, the controll er will disconnect the charging loop to prevent the batter y from o vercha rging. After th e batter y voltag e drops, t he controller will reconnect the charging loop. At this interface, press button for long( 5 seconds),the number starts to flicker, and it means the controller enters into the interface of setting the voltage ofceasing charging.

3.11 Review and setting the load mode

As shown as the right figure, it is the reviewing surface of the LOAD ON h load mode. Different numbers represent different load mode. 24h indicating normal mode, loads are under the condition of supplying power without breakdown; 1h~23h indicating delayed mode of light control, loads start to supply power after dark and shun down after working for the delayed setting hours Oh indicating light control, loads start to supply power after dark and stop working after dawn. At this interface, press button for long( 5 seconds),the number starts to flicker, and it means the controller enters into the interface of setting the load modes. Use button to adjust this parameter.After finishing setting, press button for long( 5 seconds) to exit this interface and the controller can store this setting number.

Overloading protection & disposal:

24

If the screen shows as the right figure, and the light flickers, it mean the current of the load loop is 1.2 times of the rated current within 3 seconds, and the controller is at overloading state. After removing some loads, the controller will supply power to the loads automatically within seconds, or you can press button to recover the power supply compulsively.

Short-circuit protection & disposal:

If the screen shows as the right figure, and the light flickers, it means there happens short-circuit in the load loop, and the controller is at short-circuit protection state. Please check whether the loads are damaged and whether the connecting cables are short-circuit. After eliminating the breakdown, press button to recover the power supply for the loads.

Breakdown & disposal of solar panels:

Breakdown & disposal

Low voltage protection & disposal:
If the screen shows as the right figure, it means the battery voltage is lower than the protection voltage. The controller enters into the low voltage protection state and the load loop disconnects. Use the solar panels or charger to charge for the battery. When battery voltage recovers to the protection voltage, the controller will recover to supply power for load, and enter into the working state.

Sign flickering means the controller do not detect the existence of solar panels. Please check whether the connecting with the solar panels is in good condition, and check whether the cables connecting the solar p anels and the c ontro ller are i n open-circuit condition.

Load impulsion breakdown:

V

If flickers when you turn on the load, it means the starting impulsion current is more than twice of the rated working current. Please restart the controller for times. Other exceptional conditions: Please contact the distributor or manufacturer.
