12 Volt 30 Solar Charge Controller
Maintain 12V batteries in a fully charged state
IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety and operation instructions for the 12 Volt 30 Amp Solar Charge
Controller. Keep this manual with or near the controller at all times.
LED lights will indicate the battery condition, and charge cycle status.
The 12 Volt 30 Amp Solar Charge Controller are designed to protect your 12 Volt Lead Acid or Gel Cell
Battery from being overcharged by the solar array as well as prevent the reverse flow of current resulting
in the draining of the battery during the night. The controller reduces overall system maintenance and
prolongs the life of the battery. This controller is designed to work with all makes of 12 Volt Solar
Panels.
WARNINGS - Working with Batteries
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GAS – Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Lead acid
batteries contain hydrogen-oxygen gases that can cause explosion and sulfuric acid that can cause
severe burns. Always work in a well ventilated area.
DO NOT SMOKE, OR ALLOW A SPARK OR A FLAME IN THE VICINITY OF A BATTERY!
Remove personal metal items such as rings, necklaces, watches, and bracelets when working with a
battery. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool on to the battery. The battery may
spark or short circuit.
NEVER CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters the eye,
IMMEDIATELY FLOOD EYE WITH RUNNING COLD WATER for at least 10 minutes. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
Failure to comply with above warnings may lead to explosion, and or severe injury.
BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE CONTROLLER FROM BATTERY AND SOLAR ARRAY BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING
DO NOT DISSASSEMBLE THE CONTROLLER
INSTALLATION SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON
DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM VOLTAGE AND CURRENT RATINGS!
DO NOT DEVIATE FROM WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
