Step 1: Connect Battery to Solar Charge Controller

1. On the solar controller end, attach the ends of the 2m cable using the screw.
2. On the battery end, attach the terminal using the crocodile clips.

The RED battery terminal should be connected to the + battery terminal of the controller, and the BLACK battery terminal should be connected to the – battery terminal of the controller.

Step 2: Battery Type Setting

1. Press the button on the charge controller for 5 seconds until the battery status LEDs start flashing to enter the setting mode.
2. Press the button to select the desired battery type:

Note: If you want to charge your lithium battery with this charge controller, we recommend selecting Gel Battery Mode for charging

• Application

Product Introduction

• This is a 10W solar panel kit ,using a 10W solar panel with 1M extension cable, a 10A PWM charge controller ,a pair of 2m battery-controller cable with crocodile clips. It’s a great choice for 12V battery charging ,work for Vehicle ,Boat, Gate opener, Chicken coop battery charge.

Package Included

• 10W Monocrystalline solar panel with 1m cable
• 10A PWM solar charge controller
• 2m controller-battery cable with crocodile clips

Installation of solar panel kit

Before installation the solar kit, please ensure that your 12V battery is not over discharge. The battery voltage should higher than 8V – this is the minimum voltage required to start the solar charge controller. If your battery is over discharge, please charge it beforehand by other means for a short period of time.

• Connect your 12V battery to the solar charge controller using the 2m cable in the following step

  •  On the solar controller end, attach the ends of the cable using the screw.

• On the battery end, attach the terminal using the crocodile clips.

• The RED battery terminal should be connected to the “+” battery terminal of the controller, and the BLACK battery terminal should be connected to the “-” battery terminal of the controller.

Battery type setting

• Step 1: Enter setting mode by pressing button for 5s until the battery status LEDs are flashing.
• Step 2 : Select the desired mode by pressing button.
• Step 3: The mode will be saved automatically without any operation for 5S and LED will stop flashing.

• Important notes If you want to charge your lithium battery with this charge controller, we would recommend you to select “Gel Battery Mode” for charging.

Application

• Perfect for off grid 12 volt batteries charging system and a variety of DC applications, designed for charging 12 volt batteries in car, trucks，RVs, cabins, boats, marines, shed, cabin, gate opener, battery ，chicken coop home security system battery

Caution

• For maximum output, ensure that the solar panel is situated outdoors and is exposed to as much sunlight as possible, without any shading. Even a small shaded area can significantly reduce the output (e.g. leaves, trees etc).
• Positioning the solar panel indoors behind a window is not recom-mended as it will reduce the output considerably.
• If required, you can connect any 12V load or appliances to the load terminals of the solar controller (“+” to “+”, “-” to “-”), for example 12V light bulbs. Ensure that the total current drawn by the load does not exceed 10A.
• Your 12V appliances can be connected directly to your battery but discharge protection function of controller will be unavailable.

Trouble Shooting

Check Wiring Terminations

• Ensure that all wire terminations are tight.
• Make sure no corrosion is present.
• Make sure wires are not chaffed.

Load Verification – Is there a voltage at the load? If there is no voltage, measure voltage on each piece of equipment leading back to the solar array until you find where the voltage and/or current drops.

• Verify all interconnections between the batteries are tight & corrosion free.

• If the battery voltage is between 11.5V and 12.6V , check the PWM controller battery status LEDs. Consult the charge controller manual for other LED colors or flashing sequences.
  Check for any signs of swelling, shrinkage, or case cracks, these may indicate battery damage.

• Solar panel – The two most important numbers when troubleshooting the array are the Short Circuit current (Isc) and Open Circuit voltage (Voc). Refer to module data sheet for both values.

• Voc – The Voc should be fairly consistent between each module in your array and should be around 20-22VDC for a 12V solar panel

• Isc – The short circuit current (Isc) should ideally be tested on a sunny day around solar noon.

•  Using a Multimeter – Once all the above issues and concerns have been addressed, it’s time to begin measuring electrical parameters (voltage and current) on each side of our electrical devices to look for any faulty components. With all components on, we will attempt to trace the voltage from the load to the solar array, through each electrical device.

  • Check voltage on load side and battery side of Load Controller
  • Check voltage of battery
  • Check voltage on battery side of charge controller
  • Check voltage on solar panel side of charge controller
