3. Installation 3.1 General Information The mounting location is important to the performance and operating life of the controller. The environment must be dry and protected from water ingress. If required, the controller may be installed in a ventilated enclosure with sufficient air flow. Never install the controller in a sealed enclosure. - Page 10 3.2 Controller Installation Step 1-Remove the wiring box cover CAUTION: Shock Hazard Disconnect all power sources to the controller before removing the wiring box cover. Never remove the cover when voltage exists on any of the power connections. Use a #4 Phillips screw driver to remove the four screws that secure the wiring box cover as show in figure below.

Page 15: Operation
4. Operation The MPPT controller is fully automatic. After installation is completed, there are few operator tasks to perform. However, the operator should be familiar with the operation and care of the controller as described in this section. 4.1 The MPPT controller utilizes Solar Maximum Power Point Technology Tracking (MPPT) technology to extract maximum power from the solar array. - Page 16 Bulk Charge Stage In bulk charge stage, the battery is not at 100% state of charge and battery voltage has not yet charged to the absorption voltage set-point. The controller will deliver 100% of available solar power to recharge the battery. The green LED will blink once 0.5 second during bulk charging.
- Page 17 4.4 Protections, Faults and Alarms The MPPT controller protections and automatic recovery are important features that ensure the safe operation of the system. Additionally, the controller features real-time self-diagnostics that report Fault and Alarm conditions as they occur. Faults are events or conditions that require the controller to cease operation. A Fault usually occurs when a limit such as voltage, current, or temperature has been surpassed.
- Page 18 Uncalibrated The controller was not factory calibrated. Return the controller to an authorized dealer for service. Inspection and Maintenance The following inspections are recommended two times per year for best long-term performance. System Inspection Confirm the controller is securely mounted in a clean and dry environment. ...

Page 19: Troubleshooting
5.Troubleshooting Battery Charging and Performance Issues Problem: No LCD or LED indications, controller does not appear to be power. Solution: With a multi-meter, check the voltage at the battery terminals on the controller. Battery voltage must be 9 VDC or greater. If the voltage on the battery terminals of the controller is between 9 and 60 VDC and no LED or LCD indicate, contact your authorized dealer for service. -
