IMPORTANT
•Always connect the battery first, in order to allow
the Controller to recognize system voltage
•Use a 12V (36 cells) solar array for a 12V system.
•Use a 24V (72 cells) solar array for a 24V system.

1. General Safety Information
Read all instructions and cautions in the manual before starting the
installation.
Keep the controller away from rain exposure, severe dust, vibration,
corrosive gas and intense electromagnetic interference.
Do not allow water to enter the controller.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the controller. Do not
disassemble or attempt to repair it.
2. Features
•Integrated battery monitor function (optional remote panel
needed to display state of charge).
•Fully programmable lighting control (programming tools: Remote
Panel or free of charge PC software).
•Three stage battery charging (bulk, absorption, float), fully
programmable with the Remote Panel.
•Load output with low voltage disconnect and manual control
(default setting).
•Optional external temperature sensor.
•Load output protected against over load and short circuit.
•Protected against reverse polarity connection of the solar panels
and/or battery.

3. Intallation and operation
- The controller is a common positive controller.
- If system grounding is required, preferably the positive pole of the battery
should be grounded.
- Use one system ground only.

4. Programming the controller
The default settings (see specifications) can be modified with help of the
remote panel. The panel must be connected to the controller with a
standard RJ45 UTP cable.
Use remote panel SCC900300000 to program the controller
Possible settings (please see the manual of the remote panel for
details):
Load programs:
•Manual Control (default)
•Light ON/OFF
•Light ON + Timer
•Time Control

•Gel
•Sealed AGM (default)
•Flooded

5. Protection
Load Overload
If the load current exceeds the rated current of controller (≥1.05 times
rated discharge current), the controller will disconnect the load.
Overloading must be cleared, then press the switch button.
Load Short Circuit
Fully protected against load wiring short-circuit (≥2 times rated discharge
current). After one automatic load reconnect attempt, the fault must be
cleared by restarting the controller or pressing the switch button.
PV Reverse Polarity
Full protection against PV reverse polarity, no damage to the controller
will result. Correct the wiring to resume normal operation.
Battery Reverse Polarity
Full protection against battery reverse polarity, no damage to the
controller will result. Correct the wiring to resume normal operation.
Damaged Temperature Sensor
If the temperature sensor short-circuited or damaged, the controller will
be charging or discharging at the default temperature (25°C).
Overheating Protection
If the temperature of the controller heat sink exceeds 85°C, the controller
will stop charging and discharging. When the temperature is below 75°C,
the controller will restart.
High Voltage Transients
Limited internal transient protection.
In lightning prone areas, additional external suppression is
recommended.
