5. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your solar controller. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Mounting: Choose a dry, well-ventilated indoor location, protected from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and moisture. Mount the controller vertically on a wall or suitable surface, ensuring adequate airflow around the heat sink fins. Leave at least 15 cm (6 inches) of clearance above and below the controller for proper heat dissipation.
2. Battery Connection: Connect the battery to the controller's battery terminals first. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). The controller will automatically detect the system voltage (12V or 24V).
3. Solar Panel Connection: Connect the solar panel(s) to the controller's PV terminals. Again, observe correct polarity. Ensure the open-circuit voltage of your solar array does not exceed the controller's maximum PV voltage (DC 100V).
4. Load Connection (Optional): If you are connecting a DC load directly to the controller, connect it to the load terminals. Ensure correct polarity. The controller provides protection for the load.
5. Verify Connections: Double-check all wiring for correct polarity and secure connections. Loose connections can cause overheating and damage.

Important: Always connect the battery first and disconnect the battery last to prevent damage to the controller.

6. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the controller will begin operating automatically. The digital display provides real-time information about your system's status.
