Page 2: Overcharge Protection
Instructions and description of controllers with overcharge and over discharge protection, gasing regulation and temperature compensation. In photovoltaic solar systems lead batteries are often used for storing solar current. These batteries have to be protected against overcharging and over discharging. The Solar charge controller SCG0606 / SCG0808 / SCG1010 / SCG1515 fulfill both tasks in one device. - Page 3 4. Description 4.1 Functions The solar charge controller ● monitors the state of charge of the battery bank. ● controls the charging process. ● controls the connection/disconnection of loads. This optimizes battery use and significantly extends its service life. 4.2 Construction The solar charge controller consists of the following components: 1.

Page 6: Advice For Installation
5. Advice for Installation The controller has to be installed possibly near the battery and must not be exposed to direct weather conditions. The controller is to be operated in well- ventilated rooms. The connection terminals have to point downwards when it is installed. - Page 7 1st step: Connect the battery Label the battery connection cables as a plus cable (A+) and a minus cable (A-). Lay the battery cables in parallel between the solar charge controller and the battery. Connect the battery connection cable with the correct polarity to the middle pair of terminals on the solar charge controller (with the battery symbol).

7. Grounding The components in stand-alone systems do not have to be grounded - this is not standard practice or may be prohibited by national regulations. Consult the technical manual for more information. 8. Lightning protection In systems subjected to an increased risk of overvoltage damage, we recommend installing additional lightning protection / overvoltage protection to reduce dropouts. - Page 9 11. Attention 1.Avoid short circuits: danger of fire! 2.Users which may not switched off must be installed near the battery and protected by a fuse( e. g. position lights) 3.Sparking can develop especially in direct current systems during installation and operation. Do not install PV-components in rooms where easy flammable gases mixtures can develop (e.
