  • Page 2: Important Notes

    Important Notes 1. Keep this user’s manual and follow all instructions indicated in the manual. 2. Don’t overload the charger. 3. Don’t split the charger apart; otherwise, your warranty is void. 4. Only authorized technician may repair or replace the interior components.
  • Page 3: Introduction

    1.0 Introduction PCM4048/PCM6048 solar chargers convert the energy, in forms of direct current electricity (DC) form solar panel to load or batteries connected. Depending on the configuration of the battery bank, the charger can support 12V, 24V, 36V or up to 48V system. With a maximum efficiency up to 95%, the solar charger utilizes technologies such as Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) and pulse charging method to ensure the most energy is extracted from solar cells and relayed onto batteries.
