THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DURALITE KIT AND SOLAR CONTROLLER
THAT SHOULD BE FOLLOWED DURING KIT USE AND MAINTENANCE.
Read this manual in its entirety before using the DuraLite kit for the first time.
•
DO NOT GET WET. Bring in the DuraLite kit when it rains.
•
• Use only with approved DuraLite connections and harnessing.
Please cut off all connections of the PV array, fuses or breakers which close to the battery before the controller installation and
•
adjustment.
Power connections should remain tight to avoid excessive overheating
•
No user serviceable component inside the controller. DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair the controller.

Battery and wiring around batteries. When charging, batteries produce hydrogen gas, which is highly
safety explosive. Ensure batteries are in a well-ventilated space, away from sparks for open
flames.
Wiring Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Loose connections may generate sparks
connections and heat. Be sure to check all connections before using the portable solar kit.
Wear protective eyewear and appropriate clothing during installation. Use extreme
Work safely caution when working with electricity and when handling and working around batter-

Reverse polarity of the Battery 1 terminals will cause the controller to give a warning
tone. Reverse connection of Battery 2 terminals will not cause an alarm. However, the
