Refer to the technical specifications for max wire sizes on the
controller and for the maximum amperage going through wires.
Do not over-torque or over tighten the screw terminals. This
could potentially break the piece that holds the wire to the
charge controller.
CAUTION
Installation
Connect the battery to the charge controller BEFORE
connecting the solar panel(s) unless you have the solar
suitcase with controller exception. The controller needs a stable
power source to operate.
WARNING
Never install the controller in a sealed enclosure with flooded
batteries. Gas can accumulate and there is a risk of explosion.
1. Choose Mounting Location—
place the controller on a
vertical surface protected from direct sunlight, high tempera-
tures, and water. Make sure there is good ventilation.
2. Check for Clearance—
verify that there is sufficient room to run
wires, as well as clearance above and below the controller for
ventilation. The clearance should be at least 6 inches (150mm).
WARNING
3. Mark Holes
4. Drill Holes
5. Secure the charge controller.
