SOLLATEK SPCC16E
SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER
Charge controllers are one of the most
essential parts of any solar electric system,
monitoring and controlling the system and
protecting the battery against overcharge by
the solar modules and over discharge by the
loads. A Sollatek SPCC will greatly increase
battery lifetime and system reliability, whilst
also giving the user a constant display of the
system status.
Once installed, the SPCC operates
automatically and requires no attention or
maintenance from the user.
The SPCC16E is protected against short
circuit, overload, reverse current flow, reverse
polarity and lightning power surges.

Installation Sequence
Having made any adjustments necessary for operation of the SPCC16E, follow the installation sequence below :-
1.
Mount the SPCC16E on to a flat, verticle surface with the cable glands facing towards the floor. Insert one
screw into the wall upon which to hang the controller, afterwhich insert mounting screws into the two holes
at the bottom section of the SPCC16E. The controller should be as close to the battery as possible, in a
well ventilated room and away from direct sunlight.
2.
Connect the load cable to the controller through the left hand cable gland. The cable should have been
stripped of 10mm of insulation and inserted into the terminals, observing the correct polarity. (Red/Brown is
normally positive '+', Black/Blue is normally negative '-')
3.
If required, install the external battery sense cable between the battery terminals and the 'Batt sense'
terminals in the SPCC16E. The external temperature compensation probe cable should be connected to the
terminals of the SPCC16E and the actual probe stuck onto the side of the nearest battery within the system.
4.
Connect the Battery cable, observing the correct polarity. A fuse (20A) should be fitted in the battery cable
at the positive terminal of the battery to prevent accidental short circuit damage of the controller and
system.
5.
Connect the cable from the solar module (s) ensuring that the solar module is covered. (During daylight
sparks may occur at the controller terminals if the module is not covered)
·
Ensure that all connections and terminals are clean and tight
·
Always use the largest available cross section of cable in order to prevent voltage drops. If in doubt consult
your dealer.
System Status Indication
* Solar panel is generating electricty and charging the battery
except when green 'Battery full' LED is illuminated.
* Battery is fully charged and the solar module has been
disconnected
* Battery is in a good state of charge.
* Battery is in a low state of charge and the load will soon be
disconnected, depending upon LVD setting
* The load output has been disconnected to avoid damaging
the battery due to excessive discharge.
* The reset switch will re-connect the load after LVD has
Reset
occured and before LVD-H in case of an emergency or the
LVD occuring at an inconvienient time. The load will dis-
connect when LVD is reached again.
