SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure your battery has enough voltage for the controller to recognize the battery type before first
installation.
2. The battery cable should be as short as possible to minimize loss.
3. The regulator is only suitable for lead-acid, lithium ions and LiFePO4 battery.
4. The charge regulator is only suitable for regulating solar modules.
Never connect another charging source to the charge regulator
PRODUCT FEATURES
SYSTEM CONNECTION
The reverse order applies when deinstalling! An improper sequence order can damage the controller!
KEY FUNCTION
Function 1: when the battery voltage is normal, click the key to turn the load on or off.
Function 2: press and hold the key for 2s to enter the menu. On the menu where you need to change the setting,
press and hold the key for 2s to make the number blink, then click to adjust the setting value, and then press and
hold the key for 2s to stop the number blinking, that is to say, the setting is completed.
Function 3: long press the key for more than 10s until F01 is displayed on the screen to restart the controller.
Function 4: press and hold the key for more than 20s until F02 is displayed on the screen to restore the factory
settings.
DISPLAY
System voltage type selection interface. The factory default battery voltage type is 12V, i.e. the interface is
displayed as u12v. If 24V is needed, it should be set as u24v. Setting method: long press for more than
2S until the number flashes, then short press for adjustment, and then long press for 2S until the number no
longer flashes after adjustment
Battery type
B01=General lead-acid(default)
B02=3S X 3.7V 11.1V lithium ion Battery
B03=4S X 3.2V 12.8V LiFePO4 Battery
B04=AGM / B05=GEL / B06=Flooded
Advise: choose B01 if you don’t know your lead-acid battery
type.
B01-B03 has 2-stage charging process . B04-B06 has multi stage charging process
Setting: hold left key until number flash, click +/- to adjust, and hold left key again until number stop flashing
,the setting is saved.
Load output timer control 24H -output turn on all the time.
0H -output turn on only during Dusk to Dawn(D2D).
1~23H -output turn on after sunset and turn off after
1~23H.Attn no matter which is selected ,output will turn off when battery is in a LVD condition.
Setting method: same as above one.
controller’s body temperature display. if the controller gets too hot during running ,it will automatic shut down
and wait for the temperature to drop to normal level ,and then it will work again.
Charging ampere display.(only for some model)
Low voltage re-connect LVR) setting When a low voltage disconnect happens, the controller will wait until the
voltage raise more then this voltage, then it will re-connect the load again.
Default setting is recommended. The setting is the same as above.
Low voltage disconnect (LVD)setting. When battery voltage is lower than this voltage, the controller will cut off
the output automatically .Default setting is recommended. The setting is the same as above.
D2D trigger value(solar panel voltage) When the work mode is D2D or Timer, the controller will detect the solar
panel voltage to decide whether its day or night, so to decide to enable load output or not. the higher this value
is, the earlier it enables the load output. Default setting is recommended. The setting is the same as above.
D2D trigger delay value(Second) When the controller detect the solar panel voltage is lower than trigger value, it
will delay for 10S and detect again to make sure night falls, then enable the load output. some car light or
thunder lighting will confuse the controller and make it think its daytime, using this delay can prevent
interference. Default setting is recommended. The setting is the same as above.
Short-circuit protection setting.(only for some model) Some inductive or capacitive consumer will trigger the
short-circuit protection during start up. therefore, you can disable the SC-protection manually.
SC.F=OFF, SC. n=ON .the default is ON.
Default setting is recommended. The setting is the same as above.
UNUSUAL DISPLAY
PV over-voltage warning .
In order to protect the internal circuit, Charging automatic stop when PV voltage exceed 50V and automatic
recover when voltage drop below 45V.(for 12V/24V system)
FAQ
Q:why the controller is not showing charging when I connect the solar panel?
A:please carefully check the solar panel wires are connected correctly, and there is no reverse. the PV voltage
should be higher than the voltage of the battery, any sewage or shadow on the PV will cause the voltage drop. please
usea18vPVtocharge a 12V battery under normal circumstances.
Q:why my battery runs out of power very quickly after it is fully charged?
A:your battery could have been used for a very long time, and after few hundred of cycling, its dying. a dying battery
will not have the capacity to keep the electricity. run a simple test like this, when your charge your battery, the voltage
raise very quickly ,and when you discharge it again, it drops very quickly this means you should change your battery.
