1. Important Safety Instructions
This section contains important safety information. Before installing or using the unit, READ
ALL instructions, and the provided cautionary markings. The unit contains no user-serviceable
parts. See Warranty section for how to handle product issues.
Warning: Fire and/or Chemical Burn Hazard
Do not cover or obstruct any air vent openings and/or install in a zero-clearance
compartment.
Warning: Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury
When working with electrical equipment or lead acid batteries, have someone nearby in
case of an emergency.
Wear eye protection and gloves.
Avoid touching your eyes while using this unit.
Keep fresh water and soap on hand in the event the battery acid comes in contact with
eyes.
If this occurs, cleanse right away with soap and water for a minimum of 15 minutes and seek
medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gasses. DO NOT smoke or have an open spark or fire near the
system.
Keep the unit away from moist or damp areas.
Avoid dropping any metal tool or object on the battery. Doing so could create a spark or
short circuit that goes through the battery or another electrical tool and may create an
explosion.
Warning: Explosion hazard!
DO NOT use the unit in the vicinity of flammable fumes or gasses (such as propane tanks or
large engines).
Prolonged exposure to high heat or freezing temperatures will decrease the working life of
the unit.
Use only 12V or 24V battery systems (the voltage is auto-sensed by the unit).
Do not exceed the voltage and current ratings of the unit.
Use only solar arrays with 25/ 50Voc max for 12/ 24V nominal battery systems respectively.
Do not short circuit the solar array and/or the DC-Load port while connected to the unit.
This may permanently damage the unit.
Protect the unit from direct sunlight.
The unit is for INDOORS installation only.
Try to install the unit as close to the battery bank as possible. The battery acts as a low pass
filter reducing the chance for electrical noise, ripple, and interferences that may get into the
unit. We suggest battery wires no longer than 6 feet each one (+ and -) when possible.
