Connect the display to the solar charger via a VE.Direct cable

Connect the power cable (only needed for old style solar controllers)

The supplied power cable is only necessary when the display is used with some very early solar charger
models that have been since long discontinued.

Connect the power cable as follows:

• Connect the black wire ring cable lug to the negative battery terminal. If a battery monitor is used in the system, connect the

black wire to the system side of the battery monitor shunt instead.

• Connect the red cable ring cable lug to the positive battery terminal.
• Plug the the RJ12 terminal into the power terminal on the back of the display.
