Installation

Connect battery terminal wires to the charge controller FIRST then connect the solar

panel(s) to the charge controller. NEVER connect solar panel to charge controller before

the battery.

Recommended tools to have before installation:

Screwdriver

INVERTER

BATTERY

CHARGER

HIGH AMP

DRAWING DEVICE

Do not over tighten the screw terminals. This could potentially break the piece that holds the

wire to the charge controller.

Refer to the technical specifications for max wire sizes on the controller and for the maximum

amperage going through wires.

Multi-Meter
