THE CONTROLLER IS
GETTING VERY
WARM
1.
Make sure the controller is connected to the battery by checking the wiring or fuse.
2.
Measure your charging current to make sure it is less than 8A (PV7) or 15A (PV14)
on the PV+ side of the controller. To check charging current, remove the fuse and
insert the amp meter in its place. When the charging light is on, view the amp meter
It is a good idea to install a fuse in the orange wire (PV+) side of the controller.
THE CHARGE
INDICATOR NEVER
COMES ON
Remove the fuse when the panel is charging (in the sun) and first, view the charge
indicator. It should be pulsing every second or so. Next, install an amp meter with a
20A rating in place of the fuse to check if the controller is passing the current being
made by the panel, to the batteries.
If the light is not ON, the battery voltage is less than 13.4V, the wire connections are
good and current is not flowing the controller has probably failed.
THE BATTERY IS
BEING OVER-
CHARGED
Ensure that the batteries are not being charged by another source.
If the battery voltage is constantly over 14.4V, the charge light is ON and the batteries are not
being charged by another source then the controller may have failed.
Remove the fuse. While the solar panels are producing power the controller’s charge light
should be flashing every second or so. If the charge indicator is not flashing, it is likely that the
controller has failed.
