• Even though the system is only 12 or 24 volts, both the PV
array and battery can contain lethal amounts of electrical
power.
• Do not splash water on the controller, do not allow water to
enter the ventilation slots.
• Do not touch the heatsink. Under certain operating condi-
tions, the heatsink can become hot.
• Always install the controller in a vertical position. Ensure
adequate space for ventilation, and never block the ventila-
tion slots.
• Do not short-circuit the PV array while connected to the
controller. This will damage the controller.
• Do not exceed the current ratings of the controller.
2.0 QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS
This section provides a brief overview of how to get started
using the ProStar controller. However, please review the
entire manual to ensure best performance and years of
trouble-free service.
1. Mount the ProStar to a vertical surface. Allow space above
and below the controller for air flow. The heatsink MUST be
in a vertical (up & down) position.
2. Make sure the PV and load currents will not exceed the
ratings of the ProStar model being installed.
