3. The installation procedures Please see below steps from 1 ~ 6 Insert the input and output cables and firmly secure the cables to the solar controller via the screws, fit the controller to the cutout and wall, secure the controller to the wall, reinstall the surface panel back to the solar controller. -
Page 6: Wiring Connections
WIRING CONNECTIONS To protect the Battery and the Solar Panel, we strongly recommend that you place an inline fuse on the positive wire on both the “Solar” and “Battery” Circuits. 50A fuse for 40A controller; 40A fuse for 30A controller, (As close to the Battery /Panel as possible). Refer to the below drawing, please cover the solar panel before connecting cables. - Page 7 OPERATING – LCD DISPLAY When the controller powers on, the unit will run self-qualify mode and automatically show below items on LCD before going into charging process. Self-test starts, digital meter segments test Software version test System battery voltage and current test External battery temperature sensor test (if connected) Absorption voltage test Float voltage test...

Equalization * - Only for WET or Calcium battery type, when the battery is deeply drained below 10V or every 28 days cycle, it will automatically run this stage to bring the internal cells as an equal state and fully complement the loss of capacity. (Lead crystal, Gel, AGM battery or Lithium batteries do not run Equalization charge). -
