1. Safety Information
Read all of the instructions in the manual before installation.
DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair the controller.
Install external fuse or breaker as required.
Do disconnect the solar module and fuse/ breakers near to battery before
installing or moving the controller.
Power connections must remain tight to avoid excessive heating from a
loose connection.
Only charge batteries that comply with the parameters of controller.
Battery connection may be wired to one battery or a bank of batteries.

NOTE: The above one LED (1W, 3V) are calculated. If the user uses
the unconventional LED, The actual LED voltage must less than the
Max. Load Output Voltage.
Connection Order
1) Connect components to the charge controller in the sequence as shown
above and pay much attention to the “+” and “-”. Please don’t insert the fuse or
turn off the breaker during the installation.When disconnecting the system, the
order will be reserved.
2) After power on the controller, check battery LED indicator ( the LCD on).
Otherwise please refer to chapter 9.
3) Connecting a fuse in series through battery positive (+) in the circuit and the
battery circuit fuse must be 1.25 to 2 times to the rated current. The installed
distance is within 150mm.
Load self-test function
The load is ON when the controller power on 10seconds. After 10 seconds it
will restore to set working mode.

There are two methods that it can realize
controller work mode and parameters through
IR function:
1）Infrared Communication Remoter—RC-01
Set parameters of three timer, the LED rated
current percentage and battery type, etc.
2) Ir-Android-Micro—IAM, Mobile and APP.

4) Real-time Control
Control the load ON/OFF time through setting real-time clock.
5）Battery under voltage control
When the battery under voltage, the controller will reduce the LED rated
current percentage for charging automatically. Return to normal mode when
recovery from under voltage.
NOTE：The load is ON when the controller power on 10seconds. After 10
seconds it will restore to set working mode.
NOTE：In the mode of Light ON/OFF and Light ON/Timer, the Load is
turned on after 10Min. delay，the delay time can be set.

Possible reasons
Troubleshooting
Charging LED

properly
PV array
disconnection
Confirm that PV and battery
wire connections are correct
and tight
Wire connection is
correct, the
controller is not
working
Battery voltage

Battery Overheating
The controller will
automatically turn the system
off. But while the temperature
decline to be below 55 ºC, the
controller will resume.
Powering on
normally, the LED
is off
①The connecting
wires are error or
virtually connected
②Load mode is not
appropriate.③This
controller does not
match with the LED
light.④Output short
circuit.
①Check the connecting cable.
②Check the load's mode and
parameters.③The voltage of
LED light is not within the
output voltage range of
controller.④Check the
connecting cables and LED
light.
The dimming
function is invalid
The controller does
not match with the
LED light source.
This product is a step-down
voltage control, If input voltage
is higher than the Load output
voltage, it is not working.
Replace the LED light.
