installation.
• Be very careful when installing the batteries, especially ooded lead-acid battery. Please wear
eye protection and have fresh water available to wash and clean any contact with battery acid.
• Keep the battery away from any metal objects, which may cause short circuit of the battery.
• Explosive battery gases may come out from the battery during charging, so make sure ventilation
condition is good.
• Ventilation is highly recommended if mounted in an enclosure. Never install the controller in a
sealed enclosure with ooded batteries! Battery fumes from vented batteries will corrode and
destroy the controller circuits.
• Loose power connections and corroded wires may result in high heat that can melt wire insulation,
burn surrounding materials, or even cause re. Ensure tight connections and use cable clamps to
secure cables and prevent them from swaying in mobile applications.
• The controller can work with lead-acid battery and lithium battery within its speci cations.
• Battery connection may be wired to one battery or a bank of batteries. The following instructions
refer to a singular battery, but it is implied that the battery connection can be made to either one
battery or a group of batteries in a battery bank.
• Multiple same models of controllers can be installed in parallel on the same battery bank to
achieve higher charging current. Each controller must have its own solar panel(s).
• Installation must be completed in accordance with applicable local standards.
