2.Safety instructions and waiver of liability
2.1 Safety
①The solar charge controller may only be used in PV
systems in accordance with this user manual and the
specifications of other modules manufacturers. No
energy source other than a solar generator may be
connected to the solar charge controller.
②Batteries store a large amount of energy, never short
circuit a battery under all circumstances. We strongly
recommend connecting a fuse directly to the battery to
protect any short circuit at the battery wiring.
2.2
③Batteries can produce flammable gases. Avoid making
sparks, using fire or any naked flame. Make sure that the
battery room is ventilated.
④Avoid touching or short circuiting wires or terminals.
Be aware that the voltages on special terminals or wires
can be as much as twice the battery voltage. Use isolated
tools, stand on dry ground, and keep your hands dry.
⑤Keep children away from batteries and the charge
controller.
Liability Exclusion
The manufacturer shall not be liable 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.

4.Installation
4.1 Connection sequence
The following diagrams provide an overview of the
connections and the proper order.
1.Follow the chart, connect the load (positive pole and
negative pole) with the corresponding brown and blue
cables firstly, then seal them with tape.
2.Connect battery positive pole and negative pole to the
corresponding red and black cables, the load will be on
after 8s;
3.Connect the panel positive pole and negative pole to the
corresponding red and black(or green) cables, the load will
be off after 4s, and the controller begins to charge.
4.Confirm the LED display status: If the red LED is off and
the green LED flashes or constantly light, it is normal; else
it means fault, please refer to the 10.2Faults and Alarms
to identify the reason.
Make sure the length between battery and controller is as
short as possible.
Recommended mini. wire size: 15A: 2.5mm²; 25A: 4mm².

4.2.3 Exit the transportation mode
When the load is properly connected, press the test key
or connect the solar more than 1s during daytime , the
transport mode will terminate and the controller will
work normally.
4.2 Transportation mode
The controller is generally integrated with the lithium
battery in the lithium battery pack for transport, if the
controller works normal during transport, it will waste of
energy and increase the transport risk. If the controller is
set to transport mode, the load has no output, then the
power consumption is reduced by about 60%, to avoid
lithium battery voltage too low.
4.2.1 Open circuit protection
If the controller is only connected with the battery, but
not connected with solar and load, the controller will
enter transportation mode after 5 minutes.
4.2.2 Press the “Test” key
Press the“Back” and“Backlight”key at the same time
more than 3s, the remote controller will work in factory
mode. Press the "Test" key in the factory mode, the
remote controller displays "Transport OK" and will beep
a long sound, the controller enters into transport mode.
When Smart-DC series controller is connected to the
system, you can set the controller with S/G-
Unit(SU/SG32) infrared remote controller, as showed
below! Detailed setting operations, please read S/G-

6.Starting up the controller
6.1 Self Test
As soon as the controller is connected to battery, it
starts self test. Then the display changes to normal
operation.
6.2 Battery Type
SMR1006-DCN32Li applies to Lithium rechargeable
battery. The charging target and charging recovery
voltage can be set according to customer
requirements.
6.3 0℃ Charging Protection
"0℃ Chg" can be set to “Yes", "Slow” or ”No”.
When the controller detects that the ambient
temperature is higher than 0℃, the charging
function is normal. when the ambient temperature is
low than 0℃, if the "0℃ Chg" is set to “Yes”, the
charging function is normal, else if the "0℃ Chg" is
set to “slow”, the max charging current is 20% of
the rated current, else if the "0℃ Chg" is set to
“No”, the controller does not charge the battery.
The user can select the appropriate charging
method.

9.LVD, LVR, Threshold, Dimming
9.3 Day/Night Threshold, Day/Night Delay
The controller recognizes day and night based on the
solar array open circuit voltage. This day/night threshold
can be modified according to local light conditions and
the solar array used.
Day/Night threshold setting range: 1.0 ~ 5.0V.
In the evening, when the solar array open circuit voltage
reaches the setting day/night threshold, you can adjust
the day/night delay time to make the load turn on a little
later.
Day/Night delay time setting range: 0~30min.

!1. Day/Night threshold voltage of load disconnect is
0.3V higher than the setting data, means the load will
disconnect when the solar voltage at 1.3~5.3V.
2.The controller has an automatic day/night threshold
adjustment function. If the lowest voltage of solar array is
higher than the setting day/night threshold, the load has
no output in first night, 24 hours later the controller can
automatically adjust the day/night threshold to meet the
requirements of lighting at night.
9.4 Auto Dimming
The "Dim Auto" of S/G-Unit is set to "Yes",
V" and "Dim %" at the same time, press the "Send" key to
set up the controller. when the battery voltage is lower
than the voltage of "Dim V" , it starts to dimming
automatically. Battery voltage reduces per 0.1V, load
current decreased according to the set of "Dim %", the
minimum output current is 10% of the setting current.
item set "Dim
!
the minimum output current can be as low as 50mA.
2. Dimming voltage should not be greater than the
voltage of “CVT”(Charging voltage target).
When the battery voltage is reduced to close to the LVD
voltage, the output current of the controller is reduced to
50mA.
1.If the controller is set to “Dim” or “Auto Dim”,
Parameter setting example:
Time1: 1.0H Dim1: 100%
Time2: 2.0H Dim2: 80%
Time3: 3.0H Dim3: 60%
Time4: T0T Dim4: 40%
Time5: 2.0H Dim5: 100%
DelayOff: 10s Dim NP: 10%
The controller works as follows：
After the arrival of the evening the first time the load is
lit for 1 hour (full power 100%), the second time the load
is lit for 2 hours (power 80%), the third time load light for
3 hours (when people is near the lamp then the load is
60% light, when people is away from the lamp the load is
60% * 10% light), and then the controller according to
the actual night time automatically calculate the length
of the fourth paragraph (when people is near the lamp
then the load is 40% light, when people is away from the
lamp the load is 40% * 10% light), the fifth time load
light 2 hours (full power 100%).
