MUST READ 

For the majority of users, reading this paragraph should be sufficient for installation. The unit can be 
installed  by  simply  connecting  it  between  an  input  and  output  battery,  as  depicted. 

The  solar  panel’s 

positive and negative connectors go to the +ve and -ve connectors (BBS1230 model only) - voltage should 
not exceed 31V (12V panel). 

The BB, by default, shall start charging when the starter input voltage exceeds 

13.5V and switches off when the voltage drops below 13.3V (all models). The default charging profile is 
14.4V abs. and 13.6V float - 

for sealed lead acid batteries

 

(x2 for 24V | x3 for 36V | x4 for 48V). 

This means that 

the  vast  amount  of  installations  can  be  fitted  out  of  the  box  without  any  adjustments.

  In  certain 

circumstances, when installing in a Euro 6 vehicle, we recommend using an ignition feed to the unit. When the 
ignition is live, unit starts charging (may take up to 60 seconds). Please read the manual for additional information. If 
in doubt, and installing on a New Euro 6+, use ignition feed. For info on BMS, remote sense, temp sensors and 
remote control, please consult the manual. Solar charge shall operate when engine off and predominately go to the 
leisure battery. There shall be a small 0.5A-1A back feed to the starting battery to keep it topped up, too. Maximum 
wattage that can be harvested from the solar panels is 350W - 31V maximum and 16A maximum.

BBS1230 - New to 2020

Solar Panel up to 31V (nominal 12V rated) - do not exceed.
No limit to wattage, however, max harvest is ~350W

Negatives should all be common. 
Use cable, do NOT use chassis.
