QUICK START GUIDE

STEP 1. Connect the ring lugs  to your 12V deep cycle battery. This controller supports common lead -acid battery types including AGM/Gel/Flooded. If your battery has sufficient charge, the battery LED indicator should light up solid.

STEP 2. Connect the MC4 style solar connectors to a 12V solar panel rated no more than 150 watts. As the battery charges, the solar LED indicator should begin to slowly flash.

When you need to disconnect the system, reverse these previous steps by disconnecting the solar panel first, then disconnecting the battery.
