WARNING: Electrical Hazard

Only qualified personnel should install and wire the system or have access to the inside of the enclosure.

Wiring the System, SmartHarvest SCCM20-100 Charge Controller

The system is shipped with the bulk of the wiring connections already in place. Remove the fixing screw on the underside of the 
cover plate to expose the connection terminals and make connections as shown.  Verify pre-existing wiring is still in place and 
tightened to proper torque settings. Replace the cover plate after inspecting the connections.

System Startup, SmartHarvest 

SCCM20-100 

Charge Controller

CAUTION: Hazard to Equipment

Reversed polarity will damage the charge controller.

CAUTION: Hazard to Equipment

Failure to close the battery breakers before closing the PV breaker will damage the charge controller.

IMPORTANT:

The SCCM20-100 requires a minimum load to wake up from sleep mode. Refer to SCCM20-100 manual for details.

Before Startup:

• 

Verify the PV breaker is open.

• 

Verify the DC bus master breaker and any used battery string breakers are open.

• 

Verify the load breaker is open.

Startup Procedure

1.  Close the connected battery string breaker(s).

2.  Close the DC master breaker. The three LEDs on the front panel of the charge controller will flash once and go out.

3.  Close the PV input breaker. The three LEDs on the front panel of the charge controller will flash once, then remain off. After approximately 

20 seconds, the green LED will light and be on solid, indicating the presence of PV input. The yellow LED will blink indicating the state of 
charge of the battery string.

4.  Measure across the Load positive (+) and Load negative (–) terminals on the charge controller. The voltage measured should match the 

battery string voltage. 

5.  Close the Load breaker and measure between the load terminal positive (+) and negative (–). The voltage measured should match the 

voltage measured at the charge controller.
