ASSEMBLY
STEP 1
FOR ATTACHING THE MOUNT TO THE SOLAR PANELS, THERE ARE NUTS SUPPLIED WITH THE SOLAR
PANELS (4 PER PANEL). THESE WILL BE PLACED INTO THE TRACK ON THE LONG SIDE OF THE SOLAR
PANEL (FIGURE 1.1). TO INSTALL THE NUTS, PLACE THEM AS SHOWN (FIGURE 1.2).

SOLAR PANEL SETUP – BATTERY TYPE SETTING
INFORMATION BELOW IS ALSO STATED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THE
SOLAR PANEL(S). REFER TO THOSE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FURTHER AND MOST UP TO DATE
INFORMATION.
PLEASE CHECK YOU BATTERY MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFICATIONS TO SELECT THE CORRECT BATTERY
TYPE. THE UNIT PROVIDES FOR (4) BATTERY TYPES: GEL, AGM, WET (CONVENTIONAL LEAD ACID),
AND LiFePO4.
THERE IS A DIP SWITCH AT THE BACK OF THE SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER USED FOR PRESETTING
YOUR BATTERY TYPE. REFER TO THE FIGURE BELOW TO SET THE DIP SWITCH SETTING FOR THE
PROPER BATTERY CHEMICAL. THE FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING IS AGM.
NOTE: ONCE THE DIP SWITCHES ARE SET, DO NOT CHANGE THE DIP SWITCH
UNLESS THE SOLAR PANEL WIRING IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE BATTERY,
OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO BATTERY MAY OCCUR.

SHEET 7 OF 24
ATTACH THE PANEL(S) TO THE UPPER MOUNT WITH 1/4” X 1/2” BOLTS AND 1/4” LOCK WASHERS (4
FOR 12V SYSTEMS, 8 FOR 24V SYSTEMS) (FIGURE 1.4). TORQUE BOLTS TO 10 FT-LB MAXIUMUM.
NOTE ORIENTATION OF CONNECTION POINTS AND CONTROLLER ON SOLAR PANELS. GROMMET
IN MOUNT MUST BE ON SAME SIDE. (FIGURE 1.5).
