Electricity can be very dangerous. Installation should be performed only
by a licensed electrician or qualified personnel.
Observe all safety precautions of the battery manufacturer when handling
or working around batteries. When charging, batteries produce hydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive.
Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Loose connections may generate
sparks and heat. Be sure to check connections one week after installation to
ensure they are still tight.
Wear protective eye wear and appropriate clothing during installation.
Use extreme caution when working with electricity and when handling
and working around batteries. Use properly insulated tools only.
Reverse polarity of the battery terminals will cause the controller to give
a warning tone. Reverse connection of the array will not cause an alarm
but the controller will not function. Failure to correct this fault could
damage the controller.
The maximum current of the solar system is the sum of parallel-connected
PV module–rated short circuit Currents (Isc) multiplied by 1.25. The result-
ing system current is not to exceed 12.5 / 37.5 amps. If your solar system
exceeds this value, contact your dealer for a suitable controller alternative.
The maximum voltage of the array is the sum of the PV module–rated open-circuit
voltage of the series connected modules multiplied by 1.25 (or by a value from
NEC 690.7 provided in Table 690.7 A). The resulting voltage is not to exceed
35V. If your solar system exceeds this value, contact your dealer for a suitable
controller alternative.
There must be overcurrent protection installed between the controller and battery
on the positive wire. An overcurrent protection device is not provided with this
equipment and must be purchased separately.
