Please ensure that you have read the product manual and instructions in full
before using this product. Failure to do so many result in incorrect operation
and potentially impact the performance of the product.
This product converts natural sunlight into DC electricity. It is designed to
charge a 12V battery.
CAUTION/WARNING:
INTRODUCTION:
• For optimum performance, protect the solar cell from dust, dirt, and
other debris.
• Use and store the product in a dry and ventilated location.
• Do not use in flammable or explosive areas.
• Stop use immediately if any wires become loose or electronic
components are exposed.
• Do not pick panel up directly by the solar cells.
• Use the gap between solar cells to pick up the panel.
• Do not stand or walk on the solar panel.

• Unfold the solar panel.
• Place the unfolded solar panel in a position that receives direct sunlight,
facing to the sun. Ensure that no shadows are covering the solar cells.
• Tilt the solar panel at a suitable angle. This can be the same as your local
latitude (additional support may be necessary, not supplied).
• Connect the solar panel to the solar charge controller before
connecting battery clamp lead to the solar controller.
1. Connect the battery to the solar charge controller.
2. Connect load to solar charge controller.
3. Connect solar panel to solar charge controller.
4. Reverse this order when disconnecting.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Error Code Cause Solution
E01 Low battery voltage,
load o
Change the battery or change a
new battery.
E02 Overload, load o
Decrease the load, the use (-)
button to turn on the load.
Load will automatically turn on
after 2 minutes.
E03 Load short-circuit, load o Remove the short-circuit load, use
(-) button to turn on the load.
E04 Over-voltage of battery,
load o
Check the connection of battery,
and whether if the capacity of
battery is too low, check if there is
another charger connected to the
battery.
E05 Solar panel over current,
controller stops charging
Check whether the power of solar
panel has been over powered,
decrease the panels and then
the controller will start charging
automatically after 2 minutes.

FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS:
VARIOUS WORKING MODES FOR LOAD:
At main loop interface 2, press & hold the MENU button until the symbols in
the dotted column starts flashing, the controlling parameters will reset to the
default value. Controller will restart automatically to re-new the controller data.
There are four control modes for the load. (1) Normal control mode, (2)
Light control on, (3) Delayed o mode, (4) Reverse light control mode. The
delayed duration can be between 1-24 hours.
Following are the working introduction for each mode:
