Solar Controller
“SC” series solar controller USER MANUAL
Congratulations on choosing a ROC-SOLID “SC” series solar controller.
To ensure your safety and to get the most from your purchase, please read
these instructions carefully before use.
Safety First
Potenal safety concerns have been considered in the design of the ROC-SOLID
solar controller. Your ROC-SOLID solar controller is designed to convert power
from your PV cell/array and as such may produce significant potenal energy at
the output load terminals, even when a load is not connected. For this reason
the correct sequence of connecon and disconnecon of the solar controller
must always be followed. Below is a quick guide to help in the correct
installaon of your ROC-SOLID solar controller.
Installation considerations:
1)
We recommend installation of this product be conducted by qualified
professionals.
2)
Systems must be designed so that the nominal voltage of solar panel,
battery and loads are the same. (ie all 12V, 24V or 48V not a mixture)
3)
Systems must be designed so that the rated current of solar panel and
the load(s) are smaller than the controller rating.
4)
Choose an installation location for the controller which:
A)
Is out of reach of children
B)
Is out of direct sunlight and rain
C)
Is away from any volatile or explosive environment
D)
Is away from electrical heaters, or any other heat source
E)
Is away from wet areas or areas subject to rain ingress
F)
Minimizes the length of cables required for the Solar panel, battery
and load connections.
Installation check’s:
1)
Make sure the positive and negative terminals of the Solar panels, Battery
and Loads are all connected correctly, are clean and are tightened firmly.
