Product Features
Thank you for choosing our product. This PWM solar charge controller is a
device for solar charge regulation and direct current output load control.
This device is mainly used in small & medium sized offgrid solar power
systems, up to l.2KW.
These charge controllers have these features:
- Pre-set charging modes available for most common deep-cycle battery types in the market, including AGM (sealed lead acid batteries), GEL, Flooded, and Lithium mode with customized parameters. User mode for professions to set for full battery parameters (operation on APP).
- Automatic recognition of 12V/24V battery system for AGM/GEI/Flooded battery.
- Provides multiple load control mode options for light based, time based and manually adjusted scenarios.
- Industrial grade design with reverse polarity protection for solar panels, battery and load.
- SV 1A USB outlet provides charging for mobile devices.
- We provide for this controller APP ChargePro for mobile phone monitoring and operation.
- You can search “ChargePro” and download the APP at IOS APP Store and Google Play Store.

Wire Connection Sequences
During installation of your PWM conb’oller, please follow below order of connection:
-
Connect the positive battery wire followed by the negative battery wire.
-
Make sure your solar panels are fully covered to prevent electrical shock. Connect the positive solar
array output wire followed by the negative solar array output wire. -
Connect the DC load wiring to the DC load output (if applicable)
-
Download APP ChargePro and tum on the Bluetooth function in the mobile phone. Testing the APP
function with the controller.

DC load turns off according to timer. Mode 1= turn off after 1hour, etc.
15| Manual Mode| DC load turns on/off by pressing the load key.
16| Testing Mode| DC load turns on and off in a quick succession.
17| Always on| DC Load Stays On.
Error Code Chart
| Code | Error | Description & Quick Troubleshoot |
|---|---|---|
| EOO | No error | No action needed. |
| EOl | Battery Over-discharged | Battery voltage is too low |
DC load will be turned off until battery re-charges to recovery voltage.
E02| Battery Over-voltage| Battery voltage has exceeded controller limit.
Check battery bank voltage for compatibility with controller.
E04| Load Short Circuit| DC load short circuit.
EOS| Load Overload| DC load power draw exceeds controller capability. Reduce
load size or upgrade to a higher load capacity controller.
E06| Overheating| Controller exceeds operating temperature limit. Ensure the
controller is placed in a well-ventilated cool, dry place.
| Solar Over-amperage| Solar array amperage exceeds controller rated input
amperage.
Decrease the amperage of solar panels connected to the controller or upgrade
to a higher rated controller.
ElO| Solar Over-voltage| Solar array voltage exceeds controller rated input
voltage.
Decrease the voltage of solar panels connected to the controller.
