3. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the controller will automatically begin charging the battery from the solar panels. The integrated LCD display provides real-time system status and parameters.

3.1 Display and Buttons

The display shows information such as PV input voltage, battery voltage, charging current, load status, and temperature. Use the buttons below the display to navigate through menus and adjust settings.

• PV/+ Button: Navigate forward or increase value.
• BATT/- Button: Navigate backward or decrease value.
• LOAD/- Button: Control load output (on/off) or decrease value.
• SET Button: Enter/exit setting mode or confirm selection.
• ESC Button: Exit current menu or cancel operation.

3.2 Charging and Load Management

The controller automatically manages the charging process using MPPT technology. It also provides a controlled DC load output. The USB ports provide 5V DC power for charging small electronic devices, but note that these ports may only be active when the load output is enabled or during daylight hours, depending on the controller's configuration.
