Important Safety Information
•BH It is better to install the controller in the room. If installed the controller
outside, please keep the environment dry, avoid direct sunlight.
•The controller will be hot in process of working, please keep the environment
ventilation, away from flammable.
•BH The open circuit voltage of solar panel is too high, (especially 24V system),
please take care.
•HB The battery has acidic electrolysis, please put on goggles during installation. If
you accidentally exposed to the electrolysis, please rinse with water.
•BH The battery has huge power, prohibit any conductor short circuit the positive
and negative pole of battery.
•Suggest to adding a fuse between battery and controller. (Slow motion type, the
action current of the fuse should be 1.5 times rated current of controller.)

5
The suggestion of using
•The controller could detect the temperature of environment to adjust the voltage
of charging, so that the controller should be closed to battery as near as possible.
•Recommend system current density of cables less than 3A/mm2.
•Try to use multi strand copper wire in order to connecting with the terminal
firmly. Loose power connection and for corroded wires may result in resistive
connections that melt wire insulation, burn surrounding materials, or even cause
fire.
•The battery should be full charged each month. Or the battery will be destroyed.

•If short circuit happened on the terminals of controller, it will be
result in fire or explode. Please be careful. (We strongly suggest to
connecting a fuse at the battery side 1.5time of rated current of
controller.)
•If the battery reverse connection, the output of controller also same with battery
polarity, please do not connect any load with controller at that time, or the load
and controller will be destroyed.
•As figure, connected solar panels with controller correctly, if the connection is
successful and sunshine is full, the LCD will show solar panel and an arrow from
solar panel to battery will be light.
•The voltage of solar panel is very high under sunshine, high voltage
can cause injury or destroy controller. As figure, connected loads
with controller correctly.
•In order to avoiding injury from load voltage, please close to the output of
controller with button at first, then connected the load on the
controller. The controller do not offer reverse connection
protection for load, so please take care, reverse connection for load
will be destroy bulb.
Operation and Indication
Main Interface
The controller will have 1s initialization interface after electrified, then go into main
interface.
If no operation at main interface inner 20s, the main interface will be auto exchange
during voltage of battery, voltage of solar panel, temperature of environment each
interface keep 3s. Long press “→”more than 5s at main interface, it will speed auto
exchange. Loose button will stop speed.

a) Float Voltage Set up
This parameter is High Voltage Disconnection (HVD) voltage. (Boost state voltage will be
increase 0.6V base on HVD) The controller will be started PWM function at this point (HVD),
limited voltage rising.
Press “←" join in float voltage menu. Long press “←"button≥5S, the parameter on the
interface will be flash, here is set up state. Loose the button, press “←” button again could
operate plus data, press ”→” button could operate minus data. After finish the needed
technical data, long press “←" button again ≥5S , the parameter save and come out set up
state. If 20s no any operation, automatically back to main interface.
b) Low Voltage Reconnection Voltage (LVR)
When the voltage of battery is low the control will stop offer power to the load. If the
controller needs reconnected the output, the voltage voltage of battery must be higher than
LVD voltage or press “→” button force to release. The procedure is same with (a).
Load reconnect voltage
20S later
Float voltage
Long press 5S

11
c) Low Voltage Disconnection Voltage
When the voltage of battery is low, the load output will be cut off. When the controller
detected the battery voltage was less than LVD point, the cut off function will be
immediately working. At the same time, the status of controller is in lock. Users have to
charge the battery, when the battery voltage is higher than LVD voltage or press “→”
button force to release. The load output will be back. The procedure is same with (a).
Load disconnect voltage
Above a, b, c three parameter default data was fully considered by designer according
to the actual use. Generally users don’t need to adjust. Please must be refer to battery
supplier’s suggestion, or the battery will be damaged or Irreparable destroy.
d) Load Working Mode Selection
The control default load working 24hours. When the Load Working Time set to a on
24 hours, the load will keep Load mode working 24 hours in no fault status. When the
load working time set to ≤23H, it means the load start timer or sensor
function. If the battery capacity is enough, the load will be started at sunset. The load
will work under timer setting hours or stop working till sunrise.
Load mode
When the load join into timer or sensor mode, if the reset working
time more than actual night time, the load output will be closed at
sunrise, although the working time is not reach to setting hours. For
example, the local actual night time is 10hours, user reset the working
time at night is 12hours, but 10hours later the output will be closed automatically,
the balance hours will be back to zero. The load will be working with next sunset
signal.

12
e) System Voltage Select
This parameter designed for customers wide range voltage requiring. The default
display “UT0” system voltage 12/24v System voltage select auto.
System voltage select
When battery voltage is more than 18V, the controller will be auto change to 24V system
with 24V control data. When battery voltage is less than 18V, the controller will be auto
change to 12V system with 12V control data. If the system voltage is set to “1”the
controller will be work under 12V version forever. The battery voltage is not valid. The
reset data will be working after reconnection. If the system voltage is set to “2” the
controller will be work under 24V version forever. The battery voltage is not valid. The
reset data will be working after reconnection.
Protection Function
Battery Low Voltage Protection(LVD)
When the battery voltage less than 11V, the LVD protection started. The output cut off,
at the same time the battery symbol and warming flash. Please increase charge current
or increase charge time. When the battery voltage more than 12.8V, the protection will
be closed. The load output is come back or press “→”button force to unlock at main
interface.

13
Battery Over Voltage Disconnection (OVD)
When the voltage of battery more than 16.5V, the over voltage protection will be started.
The load cut off, at the same time the load and warning symbol flash. When the voltage
of battery was decreased to 15V, the protection will be release. The output of the load is
back.
Load Over Current Protection
When the load is short circuit or overload, the output cut off, at the same time the load
symbol and warning flash. Please confirm if there is short circuit on the load terminal,
decrease the power of the load. 30s later the controller will be auto restart with unlock,
or press “ ” button force to unlock at main interface.
High Voltage Disconnection Protection (HVD)
When the battery was charged to 13.8V, the PWM function will be started, the charge
symbol will be flash, and the voltage of battery has been limited.

Důležité bezpečnostní informace
•BH Řídicí jednotku je lepší instalovat v místnosti. Pokud je ovladač nainstalován
venku, udržujte prostředí suché, vyhněte se přímému slunečnímu záření.
•Ovladač bude při práci horký, dbejte na větrání prostředí a chraňte jej před
hořlavinami.
•BH Napětí otevřeného obvodu solárního panelu je příliš vysoké (zejména 24 V
systém), dbejte na to.
