Safety First Poten al safety concerns have been considered in the design of the ROC-SOLID solar controller. Your ROC-SOLID solar controller is designed to convert power from your PV cell/array and as such may produce significant poten al energy at the output load terminals, even when a load is not connected.

(Note: disconnection must be made in the reverse order) Features The ROC-SOLID SC series solar controllers use a microprocessor to provide SOC (state of Charge) management functions, which in turn controls the charge current using PWM technology and controls the supply of power to the load(s) according to the voltage and capacity of battery.

∗ Automatic load reconnect upon battery voltage recovery (user settable) Connection Your ROC-SOLID solar controller has 6 terminals for connection to your battery, solar cells and load. These terminals are clearly marked for your ease of connection. Your battery, solar cells and loads all have separate earths (negative connections), never join them together.

Operation of you CS series Solar Controller Immediately following the initial power-up, the screen will display the model number of the controller for a few seconds, then default to the main screen below. Upon Initial start up the battery charge-off voltage, loads cut off voltage, Load-on Voltage of loads reset will be the factory defaults unless you have previously changed them.

Activating the circular display mode No matter what is displayed on the screen you can press the “OK” button and the unit will begin to display the instantaneous measured battery voltage, Charge current and Load current in sequence. Each will be displayed for about 5 seconds.

Resetting the controller If the controller display is showing either “Short circuit” or “Overload Reset” the controller will require manual resetting once the problem has been fixed. To clear these displays and reset the functionality of the controller, press the reset button. The controller will restart and if the problem has been rectified the controller will operate as normal.
