    3.4 Power connection Wire size The four large power terminals are sized for 14-2AWG(2.5-3.5mm ) wire. The terminals are rated for copper and aluminum conductors. Use UL-listed Class B 300 Volt stranded wire only. Good system design generally requires large conductor wires for solar module and battery connections that limit voltage drop losses to 2% or less.

    supplied with RJ11,33ft(1m) of 22AWG(0.34mm ) cable. NOTE: The BTS is optional package. Please check local dealer for the details. CAUTION: The controller will not activate temperature compensate charging function if the BTS is not used. CAUTION:Equipment Damage Never place the temperature sensor inside a battery cell. Both the BTS and the battery will be damaged.

    WARNING: Risk of Damage Connecting the solar module to the battery connector will permanently damage the controller.  Confirm that the solar and battery polarities are correctly connected to the controller.  A battery must be connected to the controller before operating it. The controller will not operate only with solar input.

  • Page 16 1) Bulk charge stage In bulk charge stage, charge current begins to flow, typically at the maximum rate of The controller will supply solar power to charge battery as much as possible. 2) Absorption stage When battery charging voltage is reached to Absorption voltage point, the charging stage changes from bulk charge to Absorption.
  • Page 17 3) Float stage After the battery is fully charged in the Absorption stage, the controller will reduces the battery voltage to the setting point of Float voltage. Once in Float stage, constant-voltage regulation is used to maintain battery voltage at setting point of float voltage.
  • Page 18: Equalize Stage

    5.2 Equalize Stage Equalization function is added into solar charge controller. It reverses the buildup of negative chemical effects like stratification, a condition where acid concentration is greater at the bottom of the battery than at the top. Equalization also helps to remove sulfate crystals that might have built up on the plates.
  • Page 19 Then, you may apply this function in device by either one of following methods: 1. Setting equalization interval. 2. Or, press the button for 3 seconds until LCD shows“ ”  When to Equalize In Absorption stage, if the charging current drops lower than the maximum charging current of battery equalization, the controller will start to enter Equalize stage.

    equalized time is arrived. However, in Equalize stage, when battery equalized time is expired and battery voltage doesn't rise to battery equalization voltage point, the solar charge controller will extend the battery equalized time until battery voltage achieves battery equalization voltage. If battery voltage is still lower than battery equalization voltage when battery equalized timeout setting is over, the solar charge control will stop equalization and transfer to float stage.
