SAFETY
• Keep your Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller & battery away from any liquids
at all times.
• Keep the controller clean at all times (always check connectors to ensure they’re
free of grit before plugging them in).
• Do NOT use the solar controller to charge non-rechargeable batteries. Doing so may
result in harm to the user and/or damage the solar module, battery and controller.
Only use the provided solar blanket, regulator and adaptors/wiring provided in the
kit.
• All lead-acid batteries produce harmful, explosive gases. The battery should be
mounted in a well-ventilated area, as far as possible from any ignition sources. Do
NOT smoke or have a naked ame in the vicinity of the battery under charge.
• Never tamper with or pull any component of the regulator apart. Doing so will void
the warranty.
• The PWM controller is only suitable for regulating solar modules.
• The PWM controller is only suitable for lead-acid batteries: LEAD, AGM, GEL &
LITHIUM. The Solar Blanket & Controller should not be used with nickel metal
hydride batteries.
• Never connect more than 1 charging source to the PWM controller.

battery icon ensuring polarity is correct.
2. The screen should turn on and display the battery voltage.
3. Connect positive and negative solar input into the two terminals with the solar icon,
ensuring polarity is correct.
4. The controller is now ready to use.
5. For additional load circuit, connect positive and negative wires to the terminals with
the lightbulb icon on the controller.
NOTE: Ensure a fuse is used on battery positive wiring to prevent short circuits and
potential damage to the unit or your vehicle.
