ViewStar VS1024A Manual

ViewStar A series solar charge controller series solar charge controller
1. Overview
Thank you for selecting the ViewStar A series common positive
controller. The VS-A controller is a PWM charge controller with built in LCD
adopts the most advanced digital technique. The multiple load control modes
can be widely used on solar home system, traffic signal, solar street light, solar garden
lamp, etc. The features are listed below:
3-Stage intelligent PWM charging：Bulk, Boost/Equalize, Float
Support 3 charging options: Sealed, Gel, and Flooded
LCD display design, dynamically displaying device's operating data and working
condition
Multiple load control modes
Battery temperature compensation function
Extensive Electronic protection

(1) Connect components to the charge controller in the sequence as shown above and (1) Connect components to the charge controller in the sequence as shown above and
pay much attention to the "+" and "-". Please don't insert the fuse
during the installation. When disconnecting the system, the order will be reserved.
(2)After power on the controller, check the LCD on. Otherwise please refer to chapter
6.Always connect the battery first, in order to allow the controller to recognize the the battery first, in order to allow the controller to recognize the
system voltage.
(3)The battery fuse should be installed as close to battery as possible. The battery fuse should be installed as close to battery as possible. The suggested
distance is within 150mm.
(4) The VS-A series is a positive ground controller. Any positive connection of solar is a positive ground controller. Any positive connection of solar, load
or battery can be earth grounded as required.
NOTE: Please connect the inverter or other load that it has the large start current
to the battery rather than to the controller, if the inverter to the battery rather than to the controller, if the inverter or other load is
necessary.
