Dear Clients,
Thanks for selecting the Shine series solar controller. Please take the time to read this user manual, this will help you to make full use of many advantages the controller can provide your solar system.
This manual gives important recommendations for installing and using and so on. Read it carefully in your own interest please.

Description of Function

Shine series solar controller is especially for solar home system, with better cost-effective.
It comes with a number of outstanding features, such as:

• Low cost and high reliability design
• 12V system voltage
• Clear readable display of charge/discharge and error description
• Temperature compensation
• Four stage charge way: fast, boost, equalization, float
• Full automatic electronic protect function

Safety instructions and waiver of liability

2.1 Safety

• The solar charge controller may only be used in PV systems in accordance with this user manual and the specifications of other modules manufacturers. No energy source other than a solar generator may be connected to the solar charge controller.
• Batteries store a large amount of energy, never short circuit a battery under all circumstances. We strongly recommend connecting a fuse directly to the battery to protect any short circuit at the battery wiring.
• Batteries can produce flammable gases. Avoid making sparks, using fire or any naked flame. Make sure that the battery room is ventilated.
• Avoid touching or short circuiting wires or terminals. Be aware that the voltages on special terminals or wires can be as much as twice the battery voltage. Use isolated tools, stand on dry ground, and keep your hands dry.
• Keep children away from batteries and the charge controller.

2.2 Liability Exclusion
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damages, especially on the battery, caused by use other than as intended or as mentioned in this manual or if the recommendations of the battery manufacturer are neglected. The manufacturer shall not be liable if there has
been service or repair carried out by any unauthorized person, unusual use, wrong installation, or bad system design.

Dimensions

Installation

The following diagrams provide an overview of the connections and the proper order.

• To avoid any voltage on the wires, first connect the wire to the controller, then to the battery, panel or load.
• Make sure the wire length between battery and controller is as short as possible.
• Recommended minimum wire size: 1.5 mm².
• Be aware that the positive terminal of Shine are connected together and therefore have the same electrical potential.
• If any grounding is required, always do this on the positive wires.
• Connecting capacitive load may trigger short circuit protection.

Starting up the controller

5.1Self Test
As soon as the controller is supplied with battery, it starts a self test routine. Then the display changes to normal operation.
5.2System Voltage
The controller is 12V system voltage. As soon as the battery voltage at the time of start-up is within 10V to 15V, the controller implies a 12V system.
If the battery voltage is not within the normal operating rang at start-up, a status display according to the section Error description occur.
5.3Battery Type
The controller applies to Liquid battery.

1. 2.When the PV is not charged, the solar terminal will be short circuited and the controller will not be damaged.
Warning: PV shall not be short circuited during charging, otherwise the controller will be damaged.
3.Battery must be protected by fuse, or battery will be permanently damaged.
Controller can protect itself, but loads might be damaged.
4.The solar panel voltage should not exceed this limit for a long time as voltage protection is done by a varistor.

Warning : The combination of different error conditions may cause damage to the controller.
Always remove the error before you continue connecting the controller.
