3. Installation Instruction
3.1 Precautions
Warning: do not install it with open type lead-acid battery in a
confined space, also do not install it in a sealed place where
battery gas may be assembled. These will cause explosion.
Warning: If the positive and negative of battery is short circuit,
there will be explosion or fire, so be careful about it.
Warning: The PV arrays may produce a high voltage which will
shock to people, it’s very dangerous, so be careful about it when
you install the system.
Caution: When you wire the solar controller, please ensure there
is enough air through the heat sink of controller, we suggest
200mm space at each up and down.
Caution: Please ensure all battery and PV arrays are turn off
when you install the solar system. We suggest users to install a
break between PV arrays and controller, also same between
battery and controller.
Caution: our solar controller is equipped with corresponding
cold pressing terminal for different current. Please tightly press
it with wire. Loose connection will gather heat which is very
dangerous. Please also ensure there is no any fur between the
wire and cold pressing terminal.
Caution: Please use insulated tools and avoid placing metal

objects near the battery.
Note: By default, the controller works with Lead-acid battery,
GEL battery, AMG battery, etc. If you use Lithium battery,
please let me know before you buy it. We have special program
for lithium battery. We will do not take any responsibility for
problems when you use the controller with lithium battery.
Note: We suggest 10mm2copper wire for wiring in the system.

5. Instruction of PWM technology
5.1 What is PWM charging model
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is the most effective means to
achieve constant voltage battery charging by switching the solar
system controller’s power devices. When in PWM regulation,
the current from the solar array tapers according to the battery’s

SPECIFICATION OF PV CHARGE CONTROLLER
12
condition and recharging needs. The battery can be fully
charged safety and rapidly with pulse current. Pulse current
charging model makes battery having more time to react which
reduces the gassing volume and makes battery improving the
acceptance rate of charging current.
5.2 Bulk charging stage
In this stage, 100% of available solar power is used to charge
battery(s). Every time after the controller is rebooted, if it
detects the system voltage low than equalize charging point, it
will enter to bulk charging stage automatically.
5.3 Equalize charging stage
The controller will enter to equalize charging stage and keep a
constant-current charging battery(s) since the system voltage
reach to equalize charging point. Constant-current regulation is
used to prevent heating and excessive battery gassing. As to
factory default setting, the equalize charging stage will remain
120 minutes and then enter to Float charging stage.
5.4 Float charging stage
It will enter to float charging stage after the Equalize charging
stage is done. In this stage, it will use a smaller voltage and
current charging battery slightly. The purpose of Float charging
stage is to offset the power consumption cause by itself and
other equipment in the system, while maintaining full battery
storage capacity. Load(s) can continue draw power from battery
in float charging stage, even that the system load(s) exceed
charging current, the controller will no longer be able to
maintain the battery at the Float charging stage, it will return to
Bulk charging stage once battery bank system voltage below
than equalize charging point. The battery charging information
as follow:

6. Troubleshooting & Maintenance
6.1 Troubleshooting
The trouble phenomenon and solutions please refer to the
table-1 and table-2 in the last.
6.2 Maintenance
The following inspections and maintenance tasks are
recommended at least two times per year for best performance.
➢Check the air flow and ventilation around the controller is
not blocked. Clear all dirt or fragments around the exit fan.
➢Check all the naked wires to make sure insulation is not
damaged for serious sunshine, frictional wear, dryness,
insects or rats etc. Maintain or replace the wires if
necessary.
➢Check if LCD display. Pay attention to any troubleshooting
or error indication. Take corrective action if necessary.
➢Tighten all the terminals. Inspect for loose, broken, or
burnt wire connections. Confirm that all the terminals have
no corrosion, insulation damaged, high temperature or
burnt/discolored sign.
➢Check and confirm that lightning arrester is in good
condition. Replace a new one in time if necessary.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock! Please turn off all the
power when you do these.
