4. PRODUCT PROTECTION AND MAINTENANCE Waterproof Waterproof level: IP32 Battery reverse polarity protection If the battery is connected in reverse the controller will not turn on, as to protect the controller from component damage. Solar input high voltage protection If the solar panel array voltage is too high, the controller will automatically shut down. Solar input short circuit protection If the solar panel has a short circuit, the controller will stop working until the short is rectified.
4.1 System Maintenance To maintain the controller's performance it is recommended that the following maintenance be carried out. Ÿ Make sure there is enough air flow around and behind controller Ÿ Ensure cooling fins are free of dirt or debris. Ÿ...
