Safety instructions Danger of explosion from sparking Danger of electric shock ● Please read this manual carefully before the product is installed and put into use. ● This product is designed and tested in accordance with international standards. The equipment should be used for the designated application only. -
Page 5: Installation
In case of thicker strands the contact area will be too small and the resulting high contact resistance will cause severe overheating, eventually resulting in fire. 3. Installation 3.1 General ● Mount vertically on a non-flammable surface, with the power terminals facing downwards. -
Page 6: Battery Charging Information
3.3 Cable connection sequence (see figure 1) First: connect the battery. Second: connect the solar array (when connected with reverse polarity, the controller will heat up but will not charge the battery). 3.4 More about automatic battery voltage recognition The system voltage is stored in non volatile memory. In case of a 24V or 48V battery, a reset (to 12V) occurs only when the output voltage decreases to less than 2V and the voltage on the PV input exceeds 7V. - Page 7 The absorption period also ends when the output current of the solar charger drops to less than 2Amps, not because of low solar array output but because the battery is fully charged (tail current cut off). This algorithm prevents over charge of the battery due to daily absorption charging when the system operates without load or with a small load.

Do not set this parameter to 'Y'es when using a VE.Bus BMS connected to the remote on-off input.
