• Use only PV systems with open circuit voltage below 25v and 250W rated peak power.
• Install the unit away from flammable liquids or gases.
• Use wires suitable for at least 15A, but if wire runs are over 3m then larger wires are recommended to limit voltage
drop and losses.
• A battery fuse ( BF ) is always required and must be located as close as possible to the positive battery terminal and
before any other connection. The fuse ratings will depend on the wire size and load but typically a 15A fuse
is envisaged.
• Before connecting always check battery and PV panel polarity & Do not short PV or Load with Battery connected!
• Always check that the correct chemistry setting is used and that the voltage levels are suitable for your specific
battery.
• Only use Lithium batteries with a suitable BMS.
• This appliance is not meant for use by young children.
• During the charging process on a vented battery do not use a naked flame near a battery which may ignite and explode.
• Never smoke or light cigarettes near a battery.
• Do not place tools on top of battery or allow tools to fall on to the battery.
• Always wear eye protection near a charging battery.
• Ensure a “well” ventilated area is used when testing or charging batteries.
• Ensure ventilation is adequate and venting holes are not obstructed.
• If skin or clothing comes into contact with acid, flush the area(s) with water immediately and seek medical attention if
necessary.
