Dear users, Thank you very much for choosing our products! SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. As this controller deals with voltages that exceed the top limit for human safety, do not operate it before reading this manual carefully and completing safety operation training. 2.
1. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION 1.1 Product Overview This product can keep monitoring the solar panel's generating power and tracking the highest voltage and current values (VI) in real time, enabling the system to charge the battery in maximum power. It's designed to be used in offgrid solar photovoltaic systems to coordinate operation of the solar panel, battery and load, functioning as the core control unit in off-grid photovoltaic systems.

battery's voltage is around 12V, when charging with a conventional charge controller, the solar panel's voltage will stay at around 12V, failing to deliver the maximum power. However, the MPPT controller can overcome the problem by adjusting the solar panel's input voltage and current in real time, realizing a maximum input power.
Equalizing charging Warning: Risk of explosion! In equalizing charging, an open lead-acid battery can produce explosive gas, therefore the battery chamber shall have good ventilation conditions Note: risk of equipment damage! Equalizing charging may raise the battery voltage to a level that may cause damage to sensitive DC loads. Check and make sure that allowable input voltages of all the loads in the system are greater than the set value for battery equalizing charging.

connections are tightened securely. Wires had better be fixed properly with ties, and when needs arise to move things, avoid wire swaying so as to keep connections from loosening. When connecting the system, the output terminal's voltage may exceed the top limit for human safety. If operation needs to be done, be sure to use insulation tools and keep hands dry ...

Step 1: Choose the installation site Do not install the controller at a place that is subject to direct sunlight, high temperature or water intrusion, and make sure the ambient environment is well ventilated. Step 2: First place the installation guide plate at a proper position, use a marking pen to mark the mounting points, then drill 4 mounting holes at the 4 marked points, and fit screws in.

Warning: Risk of electric shock! We strongly recommend that fuses or breakers be connected at the photovoltaic array side, load side and battery side so as to avoid electric shock during wiring operation or faulty operations, and make sure the fuses and breakers are in open state before wiring.
