STEP 8: 

Attach the green DIN Rail clips 

to the MPPT controller bracket using 

screws provided and attach the bracket to 

the controller. The extra parts aren

t used. 

Remove the small plate on the controller 

bottom to access the wire terminal 

screws. Connect the battery wires and the wires from the PowerVent

™ 

fan  to the controller battery input. Be sure to observe proper polarity. 

(RED=+). 

 

CAUTION: 

Reverse polarity connections will damage the equip-

ment.

 

STEP 9: 

Connect the included solar panel cable to the MPPT controller 

PV inputs (Red to PV+). Don

t connect  the solar cable to solar panel 

connectors until the controller is con-

nected to the batteries. 

 

STEP 10: 

Connect your load to the 

MPPT Controller load output. When the 

MPPT controller is energized with full 

battery voltage the load will turn on 

automatically.

 

STEP 11: 

Replace the wire terminal 

access door on the back of the MPPT 

controller and mount the MPPT control-

ler to the DIN rail mounted on the en-

closure door.

 

STEP 12:

  Double check wiring and 

then re

-

install the battery cable fuse to energize the system. The MPPT 

controller will power up and automatically detect the battery configura-

tion. The display is activated by vibration, so to turn on the display, tap 

the glass cover. Once the controller is energized, connect the solar 

panel connectors to the solar cable coming from the MPPT controller.

 

CAUTION: 

Reverse polarity connections will damage the equip-

ment.

 

Important Note: 

The MPPT Controller ships with AUTO detection 

of battery voltage enabled. 

We suggest changing this to a fixed 24V, 

if using a 24V battery configuration, so that the system can recov-

er automatically if, by chance, the batteries get drained complete-

ly

. See MPPT controller user manual for specific instructions.

 

STEP 13:

  Make sure lid gasket is clean and free from any particles, 

then carefully close the cover, making sure that wires are clear of the 

seam and hinge area. Use your own lock to secure the door.
