FEATURE ●Advanced MCU control pulse width modulated (PWM) technology, high efficiency operation. ●Target for Gel, AGM, Conventional lead-acid (WET) and Calcium Batteries. ●Built in regulator to prevent your battery from being overcharged. Overcharging occurs when the charge voltage is unregulated. This can result in premature battery failure.
WARNING – IMPORTANT PLEASE READ ● This charger is designed for indoor use or outdoor use. ● Do not disassemble the controller. Take to a qualified person if the unit requires repairing. ● Lead acid batteries can be dangerous. Ensure no sparks or flames are present when working near batteries.
To protect the Battery and the Solar Panel, we strongly recommend that you place a inline fuse on the positive wire on both the “Solar” and “Battery” Circuits. A 15A fuse for ZS-8A, (As close to the Battery /Panel as possible) The Solar Controller has 4 terminals which are clearly marked ‘Solar’ and ‘Battery’.

Figure-3.1 CHARGE STAGE The unit has a 5 stage charging algorithm. Soft Charge (Level 1) –Bulk Charge (Level 2)-Absorption charge (Level 3) – Equalizing Charge* (Level 4) - Float Mode (Level 5) Soft Charge- When batteries suffer an over-discharge, the controller will softly ramps the battery voltage up to 10V.
