Observe all safety precautions of the battery manufacturer when handling or
working around batteries. When charging, some batteries may produce hydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive.
Ensure all connections are tight and secure to the specifications listed in section
6. 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 panel(s) 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 resulting 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 panel(s) is the sum of the PV module–rated open-cir-
cuit 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. Always refer to the manual.
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.
Ensure that the controller is mounted indoors and protected from exposure to
the elements and water.
