1. Important safety instructions
Read all instructions before starting the installation.
Keep the controller away from rain, exposure, severe dust, vibration,
corrosive gas and intense electromagnetic interference.
2. Installation
Please see section 8 for mounting dimensions
Connection to the BlueSolar PWM-Pro charge controller:

3.2. Display
After connecting the remote panel, the default monitoring display will
be shown:
Charge current icon Battery status icons Load status icon
Day/night. Battery icon Load current icon
PV- V & A. Battery-V&A Load-V&A
Day and night icons
- Night ， - day. If the voltage of the solar array is above 1V, the
daytime icon is shown.
Battery icon
The battery icon shows the state of charge of the battery. For this
function the correct battery capacity must be set (see section 5.4) and
all loads must connected to the load output (i.e. not directly to the
battery).
Note: When the battery is fully discharged, the icon displayed is .

Battery status icons
- Normal voltage. - Under voltage ， - Over discharge
Load status icon
-Load output “on” - load output “off”
3.3. Buttons
Operation is visualized in the schematic diagram below:

The OK and ESC buttons are respectively used to enter or exit the
corresponding pages of the menu items.
A password must be entered to change settings.
When on a settings page, press OK to access the password page and
fill in the password to enable changing of settings.
The default password is 000000
5.2 Device information
The charge controller model, ratings and serial number are displayed
(press the DOWN button to display the serial number).
5.3 Test Operation
When the load output is set on manual control (default setting, see
section 5,5), the output can be switched ON or OFF with the orange
switch button on the Charge Controller. The low voltage cut-off is also
operational.

9
EN
The manual control function is disabled when other load output
settings are chosen (see section 5.5).
However, when other load output settings have been chosen, the
load output can be tested (i.e. switched ON and OFF) after switching
back to Manual Control.

The load output setting options are shown below:
Option 1: Manual Control
When the load output is set on Manual Control (default setting), the
output can be switched ON or OFF with the orange switch button on
the Charge Controller. The low voltage cut-off is also operational.

Option 2: Light On/Off
This is a simple load output On/Off option, based on the solar input
voltage of the Controller (= output voltage of the solar panel).
•When, at dusk, the input voltage of the Controller becomes
lower than the light On voltage (default 0.50V), the load output
is switched on.
•When, at dawn, the input voltage of the Controller becomes
higher than the light Off voltage (default 0.40V), the load
output is switched off.
•In order to prevent unwanted switching a confirmation time
(DeT) can be set: default 10 minutes, range 0 – 99 minutes.
Option 3: Light On+Timer
This option allows for a pre-set On-time after dusk and a pre-set
Off-time before dawn.
The dusk and dawn switching moments and confirmation time are set
as under option 2.
The remaining parameters are set as follows:
•NightTime: initial setting of the night duration, the controller
will subsequently adjust NightTime to the actual duration of
the night.
•On Time 1: On period after dusk.
•On Time 2: On period before dawn.

12
Option 4: Time control
This option uses the internal clock (see section 5.6) to set one (Time1
only) or two on-time periods.
5.6 Device Parameters
The first screen displays the software version
and communication ID number of the Charge
Controller.
The second screen allows setting of the
backlight timer, and local date & time (use
the DOWN button to go to the second
screen).
The above data are stored in the Charge
Controller.
5.7 Device Password
The password is needed to change settings of the charge controller.
The default password is “000000”. The password is stored in the
Charge Controller
5.8 Charge mode
This page is intended for future applications. Please do not change.
5.9 Factory reset
Allows reset of the charge controller to the default settings.
