Step 3: Mount the controller if desired (note that it must be in a NEMA-4 rated enclosure
if it is outdoors). Use the 5-foot red & black cable pair to connect your positive and
negative battery terminals to the battery inputs on the charge controller.
Step 4: Attach the lug end of the red cable to the positive terminal on the battery.
Attach the lug end of the black cable to the negative terminal on the battery
(see photo, below left). If your battery has sufficient charge (11.5 volts or
more), you should now see the controller's LCD display activate. This means
the controller has power (controllers are powered by the battery, not the pan-
els).
Step 5: Connect the positive MC4 output of the panel to the 10 amp inline fuse, as shown below:
Step 6: Cut the 15-foot MC4 cable into two equal halves (7.5 feet each). Strip back the
wire on the cut end around 1/4 inch to expose the wire (see photos to right). Connect
the MC4-comparable ends of the 7.5 foot wires to the panel leads. Follow the posi-
tive lead and mark the bare wire end of the 7.5 foot cable to differentiate it from the
negative.
Step 7: Connect the bare wire end of the positive cable to the "Solar +" input of the
PWM-165, and the other (negative) cable end to the "Solar -" input as shown to the
right.
Step 8: Uncover the panel. As the day progresses, you should see charge level increase
to 100%. At this point the battery can be used to provide power.
