The SOLAR CONTROLLER Maximum 37.5A rating is based on a 30-amp total maximum short circuit current rating (Isc) from the solar 

modules nameplate ratings. The National Electric Code specifies the PV equipment/system rating to be 125% of the maximum Isc from the 

PV module ratings (1.25 times 30 = 37.5A). E.G. Three modules in parallel with an Isc of 7 amps each equal a total Isc input of 21 amps. 
When selecting PV modules for use with the SOLAR CONTROLLER do not exceed a total nameplate Isc current of 30A. Solar modules 
list the Isc amps on their nameplate label.

The controller will not work unless there is a battery connected to the Battery 1 terminals.

WARNING: When the photovoltaic (solar) panel is exposed to light, it supplies a dc voltage to this equipment.

1) Automatic cycle interface

Display

: PV voltage, PV current, PV power, Battery voltage and Battery temperature

2) Clear the generated energy

Operation: 

Step 1

: Press the “SET” button and hold 5s under the PV power interface and the value is flashing.

Step 2

: Press the “SET” button to clear the generated energy
