TROUBLESHOOTING

Display Reading:

 Full battery icon flashing  

 

Time of Day

: Daytime/Nighttime

Remedy

:  

Overvoltage error. Disconnect the solar controller from the battery and put a draw on the battery (turn lights or a fan on) to drain the battery. 
Reconnect solar panel after a few minutes. Repeat as needed. 

Display Reading:

 Empty battery icon flashing  

 

Time of Day

: Daytime/Nighttime

Remedy

:  

Undervoltage error. Battery is too low to register a voltage to the solar controller. Plug your RV/trailer in to shore power to recharge battery 
to above 8v. 

Voltage Reading

: Inaccurate 

 

Time of Day

: Daytime/Nighttime

Possible Cause

Excessive voltage drop from batteries to controller due to loose connections, small wire gauge or both.

Remedy

Check all connections from the controller to the battery including checking for correct wire polarity. Check that all connections are clean, 
tight, and secure. Shorten the distance from the controller to battery or obtain larger gauge wire.  It is also possible to double up the existing 
gauge wire (i.e. two wire runs) to simulate a larger gauge wire.

Further Steps (if required):

Check the voltage at the controller battery terminals with a voltmeter and compare with the voltage reading at the battery terminals.  

If there is a voltage discrepancy of more than 0.5 VDC, there is an excessive voltage drop.

Current Reading

: 0 A

T

ime of Day

: Daytime, clear sunny skies

Possible Cause

Current is being limited below 1 Amp as per normal operation or there is a poor connection between the solar panel and the controller.

Remedy:

 

Check all connections from the controller to the panel including checking for correct wire polarity. Check that all connections are clean, 
tight, and secure. Continue with the solutions below for additional help on low current readings.
