|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | MENU Button | 6 | Load Terminals |
| 3 | RTS Port | 7 | SET Button |
| 4 | PV Terminals | 8 | USB Output Ports* |
***** USB output ports provide the power supply of 5VDC/2.4A and have short circuit protection.
CONNECTION DIAGRAM:
- Connect components to the charge controller in the sequence as shown above and pay attention to the “+” and “-”. Please don’t insert the fuse or turn on the breaker during the installation. When disconnecting the system, the order will be reserved.
- After powering on the controller, check the LCD. Always connect the battery first, in order to allow the controller to recognize the system voltage.
- The battery fuse should be installed as close to battery as possible. The suggested distance is within 150mm.
- This regulator is a positive ground controller. Any positive connection of solar, load, or battery can be earth grounded as required.
CAUTION
NOTE: Please connect the inverter or other load that has a large start current to the battery rather than to the controller if the inverter or other load is necessary.

When no operation, the interface will be an automatic cycle, but the following two interfaces not be displayed.
-
Accumulative power zero clearing: Under the PV power interface, press SET button and hold on 5s then the value blink, press SET button again to clear the value.
-
Setting temperature unit: Under the battery temperature interface, press the SET button and hold on 5s to switch.
- Fault Indication
Status| Icon| Description
---|---|---
Battery over-discharged| | Battery level shows empty, battery frame blink, fault icon blink
Battery over voltage| | Battery level shows full, battery frame blink, and fault icon blink.
Battery overheating| | Battery level shows current value, battery frame blink, and fault icon blink.
Load failure| | Load overloads, Load short circuit
1When load current reaches 1.02-1.05 times, 1.05-1.25 times, 1.25-1.35 times, and 1.35-1.5 times more than the nominal value, the controller will automatically turn off loads in the 50s, 0s, 10s, and 2s respectively
- Load Mode Setting
Operating Steps:
Under the load mode setting interface, press the SET button and hold on 5s till the number begin flashing, then press the MENU button to set the parameter, and press the SET button to confirm.

NOTE: Please set Light ON/OFF, Test mode, and Manual mode via Timer1. Timer2 will be disabled and display “2 n”.
- Battery Type
Operating Steps:
Under the Battery Voltage interface, press the SET button and hold on 5s then enter into the interface of the Battery type setting. After choosing the battery type by pressing the MENU button, waiting for 5s, or pressing the SET button again to modify it successfully.
NOTE: Please
refer to the battery voltage parameters table for the different battery type.
PROTECTION:
| Protection | Conditions | Status |
|---|---|---|
| PV Reverse Polarity | When the battery is correct connecting, the PV can be | |
| reversed. | The controller is not damaged | |
| Battery Reverse Polarity | When the PV is not connecting, the battery can be |
reversed.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
| Faults | Possible Reasons | Troubleshooting |
|---|---|---|
| The LCD is off during the daytime when sunshine falls on PV modules properly | ||
| PV array disconnection | Confirm that PV wire connections are correct and |
tight.
The wire connection is correct, LCD does not display| 1) the Battery voltage
is lower than 9V
2)PV voltage is less than battery voltage| 1)Please check the voltage of the
battery. At least 9V voltage to activate the controller.
2)Check the PV input voltage which should be higher than the batteries.
Interface blink| overvoltage ge| Check if the battery voltage is higher than
the OVD point (over-voltage disconnect voltage), and disconnect the PV.
Interface blink| Battery over-discharged| When the battery voltage is restored
to or above LVR
point (low voltage reconnect voltage), the load will recover
Interface blink| Battery overheating| The controller will automatically turn
the
system off. But while the temperature decline to be below 50°C, the controller
will resume.
Interface blink| Overload or Short circuit| Please reduce the number of
electric equipment or check carefully the loads connection.
