HOW TO USE
- Unfold the solar panel.
- Place the unfolded solar panel in a position that receives direct sunlight, facing the sun. Ensure that no shadows are covering the solar cells.
- Tilt the solar panel at a suitable angle. This can be the same as your local attitude (additional support may be necessary, not supplied).
- Connect the solar panel to the solar charge controller before connecting the battery clamp lead to the solar controller.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Ensure the battery has enough voltage for the solar charge controller to recognize the battery type before first installation.
- The battery cable should be as short as possible to minimize loss.
- The regulator is suitable for lead-acid batteries (Flood, AGM, GEL), and lithium-ion. Not suitable for nickel-metal hydride, or other battery types.
- The charge regulator is only suitable for regulating solar modules. Never connect another charging source to the charge regulator.
- The solar charge controller will be hot when working. Please install in a flat, well-ventilated area.
HOW TO CHARGE A 12V BATTERY
- Connect the battery to the solar charge controller.
- Connect the load to the solar charge controller.
- Connect the solar panel to the solar charge controller.
- Reverse this order when disconnecting.
NOTE: Heavy loads should not be connected to the battery.
