10. Recommended Safety and Application Procedures

Intended Use
The charge controller is intended exclusively for use in photovoltaic systems
with 12 V or 24 V normal voltage and in conjunction with vented or sealead
( VRLA ) lead acid batteries only.
The controller will become warm when working but no maintenance is required.
Please use dry cloth to wipe off dust when needed. It is important that batteries
are frequently fully charged ( min one a month ). Otherwise batteries might be
damaged permanently. Also note that a DC loaded battery can only be charged
full if the charging current is bigger than battery output.
Product Application
This charge controller is designed to be used with solar panels only. Designed
voltage is 12 V or 24 V system ( depending on the models ) with lead acid bat-
tery or gel battery. Never short circuit batteries since they contain big ( strong )
power. We recommend connecting fuse on batteries ( slow motion type accor-
ding to the designed current ). Batteries may release flammable gas. Please
keep away from sparks, open fire. Store batteries in ventilated room.
Do not touch or short circuit connection / terminals. Some wires or terminals
may carry twice the voltage as batteries. To opererate on batteries, make sure
hands are dry and use isolation tools. Stand on dry ground. Keep children away
from battery and controller.
