5, Installation
⑺Be extremely cautious when working with batteries. Wear eye protection by all means. Have fresh water
available to immediately wash and clean any contact with battery acid. Get immediately medical aid in
case of any hazard that may occur. Never install/handle with batteries alone.
⑸Batteries can produce flammable gases. Avoid provoking any sparks, using fire or any exposed flame
close to any batteries, ever. Make sure that the battery room is well ventilated to disperse any gases.
⑹Only use insulated tools and avoid placing (any) metal objects near/close to batteries.
⑶ Double check whether battery voltage meets the voltage range of Charge Controller.
⑴ This charge controller must only be used in PV systems in accordance with requirements given in this
user manual and the specifications of other system components provided by their manufacturers. No
energy source other than a PV generator may be connected to the PV charge controller referred herein.
⑵PV-modules must always be disconnected prior to the installation and adjustments of the charge
controller; Make sure the circuit breaker, fuse or disconnects of battery terminal are turned off.
⑼Prevent any water, ever, from penetrating the controller, outdoor installation must avoid any direct
sunlight and penetration of any water (e.g. rain) and humidity.
5.1 Installation Notes
⑻Avoid touching or short-circuiting wires or terminals. Be aware that voltages on given system
components, terminals or wires can be a multiple of battery voltage. Only use insulated tools, stand on dry
ground, and keep your hands always dry and protected by proper (approved) electrician gloves when
working on PV-Systems.
⑽After installation make sure that all connections are properly tighten, eliminate any electrical loose
connections to eliminate by all means any hot electrical connection spots.
⑷Batteries store a large amount of energy, never short circuit a battery under any circumstances. We
strongly recommend connecting a protection fuse directly to the battery terminal for protection in case of
short circuiting the battery.
CAUTION: Please read all instructions and precautions in the manual before proceeding
with the installation! It is recommended to remove the protective film cover from the
LCD screen before operation.
Mark the position of the PV charge controller fastening holes on the wall, drill 4 holes and insert dowels,
fasten the PV charge controller to the wall with the cable openings facing downwards.
Do not subject the PV charge controller to direct sunlight or any other heat sources. Protect the PV charge
controller from any dust, dirt and moisture. Mount it flat to a vertical wall. Must be a non-flammable
material. Maintain a minimum clearance of 15 cm below and around the controller to ensure unhindered
air circulation. Mount the PV charge controller not too far from the batteries (for accurate voltage sensing
least lessening).

We strongly recommend connecting a fuse directly to the battery terminal to protect from any short
circuit in the battery circuit. PV-modules generate current whenever light shines on them. The generated
current is directly proportional to the light intensity. Even low levels of light, will deliver the PV-Modules
no load, full voltage. It is thus utterly advisable to protect PV-modules from any incident light during
installation; Never touch uninsulated cables (ends), only use electric insulated tools, and make sure that
the wire cross section is adequate for the PV module operating currents. Connections must always be
conducted in the sequence as described below
5.4 Connection
Wiring and installation methods must comply with national and local electrical code/specifications.
The wiring specifications of the PV-system battery must be selected according to rated currents. Please check
following table for wiring specifications:
5.3 Wiring Specifications
!The indicated cable/wire sizes are for reference only. If longer runs between the PV array and the
controller or between the controller and the battery are required, than larger capacity cables must be
used to reduce voltage drop and improve system performance.

WARNING: The PV-module/array can produce open-circuit voltages in excess of 100 Vdc
when exposed to sunlight. Pay highest attention to this fact.
WARNING: Risk of explosion! In case the battery's positive and negative terminals or
leads get ever in touch, i.e. short-circuited, a fire or explosion hazard might get triggered.
Always pay maximum when handling batteries and related circuits.8
Inverter
Relay

3rd step: Connect the solar module
Connect the load cable with the correct polarity of the right-hand side pair of terminals on the solar
charge controller (with the lamp symbol). To avoid the presence of any tension on the cable/wires, please
connect these first to the load before connecting them to the charge controller.
Connect the battery cables observing the correct polarity to the center pair of terminals (make sure you
identify the battery marking/symbol on the controller casing!) of the PV charge controller. Pay greatest
attention to polarity. Never, ever invert the plus+ and minus- poles).
1)Should your system be nominal 12 Vdc, make sure the battery voltage is between the 10.0 and 15.0 Vdc
voltage range;
3)for 36 Vdc nominal voltage, the battery voltage should be within the 31.0 to 42.0Vdc;
4)for 48 Vdc nominal voltage, the battery voltage should be within the 42.0 to 62.0Vdc.
If the polarity is correct, the LCD on the controller will begin to display those.
1st step: Connect loads
2nd step: Connect the battery
2)for 24 Vdc nominal voltage, the battery voltage should be within the 20.0 to 30.0 Vdc range;
4th step: Final work
When connecting the PV-Module make sure to cover it from incident sun light. Double check the PV-
Module will not exceed the maximum permissible input current of the Charge Controller (please refer to
the section Technical Data). Connect the solar module connection cable to the correct polarity of the left
pair of terminals on the solar charge controller (with the solar module symbol).
Tighten all cables connected to the controller and remove all the remains around the controller (leaving a
void of minimum 15 cm).
5.5 Grounding
Be aware that the positive terminals of controller are interconnected and therefore bear the same
electrical potential. If any grounding is required, always do this on the positive wires/terminals.
CAUTION: 1. If no temperature sensor is connected to the controller, the battery
temperature value will display the internal temperature.
2.If a power inverter is used the system, it should be connected to the battery via a DC
relay. Do not connect it to the controller's load terminals.

Make sure all system components are effectively and tightly connected to ground.
Check all terminals for any corrosion signs, damaged insulation, increased temperature or
carbonization/discolored signs.
Check all the naked wires to make sure insulation is not damaged. Repair or replace some wires if
necessary.
Make sure no block on air-flow around the controller. Clear up any dirt and fragments on radiator.
Check and confirm that LCD is consistent with required. Pay attention to any troubleshooting or error
indication. Take corrective action if necessary.
Check for any dirt, nesting insects and any corrosion signs. Implement corrections actions as early as
possible.
Tighten all terminal screws to the indicated torque; Inspect for loose, broken, or burnt cable/wire
connections.
WARNING：Risk of electric shock!
Make sure that all the power is turned off before above operations,
and then follow the corresponding inspections and operations.
7.3 Maintenance
For best system performance, the following inspections and maintenance tasks are recommended to be
carried out for at least two times a year.
7.2 Protection
PV Short Circuit
PV Reverse Polarity
Charging over current The controller will limit charging current on battery to the rated level.
When PV short circuit occurs, the controller will stop charging.
Remove it to resume normal operation.
Fully protection against PV reverse polarity, no damage to the controller.
Correct the connection to resume normal operation.
Fully protection against battery reverse polarity, no damage to the controller.
Correct the connection to resume normal operation.
Should there are other energy sources to charge the battery, when the battery
voltage exceeds 15.8 / 31.3 / 46.8 / 62.3V(Overcharge protection voltage of
lithium battery equals target voltage plus 0.2V), the controller will stop charging
to protect the battery from overcharging damage.
When battery voltage drops to the low voltage disconnect setting, the controller
will stop discharging to protect the battery from over discharging damage.
If the load current exceeds the maximum load current rating 1.25 times, the
controller will disconnect the load.
Once the load short circuit happens , the load short circuit protection will
trigger automatically.
The controller detects the internal temperature through internal sensor, when
the temperature exceeds the setting value, the charging current will decrease,
and consequently, the controllers temperature; Should controllers temperature
rise and approach over temperature protection threshold, the controller will
stop its operation and resume after temperature lowers/returns to an
acceptable level.
Should the temperature sensor be short-circuited or damaged, the controller
will be charging or discharging at the internal temperature automatically to
prevent the battery damaged from overcharging or over discharged.
