Page 2: Let's Get Started
Lets Get Started... - Page 3 SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER EX-85ASC Description Your Expion360 Solar Charge Controller utilizes maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology to optimize the energy captured from the sun. Solar charge controllers are essential to convert the energy from the solar panel(s) into energy that can be used to charge the batteries in your chosen energy storage solution.
- Page 4 SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER EX-85ASC Introduction This unit has many beneficial features to protect the charge controller and provide added utility for the users of our leading-edge products. While our MPPT controllers are protected from damage due to excess internal temperature, we highly recommend installation in a well ventilated cabinet away from other devices that produce large amounts of heat.

Page 10: Installation
SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER EX-85ASC WARNING: Danger, explosion hazard! Never install the controller and a vented battery in the same enclosed space! Also, do not install in an enclosed place where ≥ 6 in battery gas may collect. WARNING: Danger, high voltage hazard! Photovoltaic arrays may generate very high, open-circuit voltages. - Page 11 INSTALLATION Step 3: Fasten the controller Hang the controller up, then fix the lower two screws. Step 4: Wire for installation safety We recommend the wiring sequence as illustrated below: WARNING: Danger, electric shock hazard! We strongly recommend connecting a fuse or circuit breaker to the PV array and battery terminals to prevent electric shock hazards during wiring.
- Page 12 SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER EX-85ASC WARNING: Danger, high voltage hazard! Photovoltaic arrays may generate very high, open circuit voltages. Disconnect the circuit breaker or fuse before wiring and be very careful during wiring. WARNING: Danger, explosion hazard! If the positive and negative terminals of the battery, and the wires connected to them, are short-circuited, it may cause a fire or explosion.
