4 System Wiring

4.1 12 V Battery System

12V system

 Voltage from panels will read 22-25 V when 

disconnected (open circuit). Connect the pump controller 
directly to battery bank.

Remote Tank Float Switch

 Connect float switch to ter-

minals 4-5 of the pump controller when it breaks contact 
on rise, to turn the pump OFF. Otherwise use terminals 3-4 
for opposite function.

Grounding

 Connect either battery minus or solar minus to 

ground, never connect both to ground!

Solar Tracking 

Use stranded wire for flexibility. Secure 

the wires to tracker with plenty of tape. Leave a good slack 
loop to allow free motion of tracker.

4.2 24 V Battery System

24 V system

 Wiring scheme shows serial wiring for a sys-

tem of 24 V nominal. Voltage from panels should read 45 V 
when disconnected (open-circuit).

Remote Tank Float Switch

 Connect float switch to ter-

minals 4-5 of the pump controller when it breaks contact 
on rise, to turn the pump OFF. Otherwise use terminals 3-4 
for opposite function.
