READ BEFORE TO INSTALL
General Safety Recommendations
1. Batteries stores a large amount of energy. Under all circumstances, never short circuit a Battery. We
recommend connecting a fuse directly to the positive battery terminal, adjusted to the maximum intensity of
use and without overpass the nominal intensity of AGNEUS Regulator.
2. Batteries can produce flammable gases.Avoid making sparks using fire or any naked flame. Be sure that the
battery room is ventilated.
3. Avoid touching or short circuiting wires or terminals. Use isolated tools, remains always in dry floor and keep
your hands dry.
4. Keep children away from batteries and the charge regulator.
5. Please, observe the safety recommendations of the battery manufacturer. If you have any doubt, consult your
seller or installer.
Intended Use
The charge regulator is designed to be used in a isolated photovoltaic system for a Lead-acid battery with 12V of
nominal voltage. Deep charge algorithm is specially optimized for gelificated battery.
Liability Exclusion
The manufacturer shall not be able for damages, especially on the battery, caused by use other than as intended or as
mentioned in this manual, or if the recommendations of the battery manufacturer are neglected. The manufacturer shall
not be liable if there has been service or repair carried out by any unauthorized person, unusual use, wrong installation
or bad system design.
Opening case voids warranty.
General Description
The battery charge regulator AGNEUS AGCD840V20L tracks the Maximum Power Point of the photovoltaic module
(Maximum Power Point Tracking MPPT), increasing the electric energy yields if compares with the traditional market
regulators.
Moreover, it makes an active control of photovoltaic module and loads, to protect battery from overcharge and extended
uses without finishing a deep battery charge or equalization charge.

Installation and connection (see figures 1 and 2)
Protects the regulator from direct sun light and rain and place it in a dry and non flammable surface (the
regulator warms up during operation). The distance between the regulator and the battery should be as
short as possible, always bellow 1m length. Use wires of 2,5mm2of maximum thickness.
Between regulator output OUT+ (4) and loads positive side (12V luminaries, for example), we will insert
the switch breaker, as shown in the figure 2. User loads negative side will be connect directly to the
battery negative terminal.
Before begin to install, be sure that battery is not connected!
1. Install the electric enclosure and inserts the regulator and the switch breaker in the DIN RAIL.
2. Connect the regulator output terminal OUT+ (4) at switch breaker nearest terminal. Be sure that the
switch lever is at OFF position. Connect the other the switch breaker terminal to the positive side of
your desired loads to be supplied.
3. With battery unconnected, insert the positive wire of battery BAT+ to the regulator terminal (5).
After, insert the negative wire BAT- to the regulator terminal (6).
4. Now proceed to make the battery connections. Attention! If inverts the battery polarity, could be
produced irreparable damages over the regulator.
5. Connect the positive wire of the photovoltaic module PV+ to the regulator terminal (2)
6. Connect the negative wire of the photovoltaic module PV- to the regulator terminal (3)
