  • Page 16 CAUTION ensuring reliable heat dissipation through the box is important. Step 2 Connect the system in the order of battery load PV array by Figure 2-2,” Schematic Wiring Diagram” and disconnect the system in the reverse order While wiring the controller, disconnect the circuit breaker or fast-acting fuse and ensure the electrode polarity is correctly connected.
  • Page 17 Step 5 Powered on the controller Connect the battery's fast-acting fuse to power the controller. Then check the battery indicator's status (the controller operates normally when the indicator is lit in green). Connect the fast-acting fuse and circuit breaker of the load and PV array. Then the system will work in preprogrammed mode.
