4. INSTALLATION • Please read the entire installation instructions to get familiar with the installation steps before installation. • Be very careful when installing or connecting batteries, especially flooded lead-acid batteries. Wear eye protection and have fresh water available to wash and clean any contact with battery acid. -
Page 6: Solar Array Requirements
5. SOLAR ARRAY REQUIREMENTS The Adventure Kings Plus MPPT Charge Controller has an in-built charging current/ power-limiting function. During the charging process, when the charging current or power exceeds the rated charging current or power, the controller will automatically limit the charging current or power to the rated range. -
Page 7: Wiring Requirements
8AWG / 10mm2 • The Adventure Kings Plus MPPT Solar Charge Controller / Regulator is a common- negative controller, meaning all negative terminals are shared. The suggested method is to wire the battery, and loads and solar panels to the unit. If instead another earth point is used in the vehicle, the unit should also be earthed with the earth terminal on the heatsink. -

7. LED INDICATORS The Adventure Kings Plus MPPT Solar Charge Controller / Regulator has three multi- colour LEDs that can identify normal operations, connection issues and errors. INDICATOR INSTRUCTION Solar LED, Green Light, On Low current charging (early morning or late afternoon,... -
Page 9: Display
8. DISPLAY The icons on the left of the screen show basic information about how the system is operating, while the centre and right of the screen will cycle through the information for the solar, battery and load circuits including displaying voltage, current, power, total power, battery percentage and more. -
Page 10: Button Instructions
9. BUTTON INSTRUCTIONS When first connected, the unit will display Solar, Battery and Load information on the HOME SCREEN Display that cycles every 2 seconds. There are 5 buttons on the unit that perform different functions if they are short pressed, or long pressed (held) within the different displays / menus. -
Page 11: Basic Button Functions
Pressing the LOAD button will access the Load Interface (with only the Load Icon shown on screen) and will display information about the connected load (voltage, current and power, total power consumed and load mode/ timer settings) on two screens that can be cycled by short pressing the PV button. -

Page 16: Built In Protections
13. BUILT IN PROTECTIONS When the charging current or power of the PV array exceeds the controller’s rated current or power, it will be charge at the rated current or power. PV OVER CURRENT / WARNING: When the PV’s charging current is greater than the OVER POWER rated current, the PV’s open circuit voltage cannot be greater than the “maximum PV open-circuit voltage”, otherwise the controller... - Page 17 The controller can detect the battery temperature through an external temperature sensor if fitted. The controller stops working when its temperature exceeds 65 °C and restart to work when its BATTERY OVER temperature is below 55 °C. NOTE: With an ambient temperature TEMPERATURE sensor fitted, the unit will only stop charging if ambient temperature exceeds 65°C...

Questions and answers
Can I set a low battery voltage cut off
Yes, you can set a low battery voltage cut off on the Adventure Kings PLUS AKPSR-MPPT 01, but only when the battery type is set to "USE". This allows user adjustment of battery voltage parameters, including low voltage disconnect values.
