SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Read these instructions before installing and connecting the product.
• Do not dismantle the product or attempt to modify, or repair it.
• Install an external fuse or miniature circuit-breaker according to requirements and local regulations.
• Disconnect the solar panel and the fuse/ circuit breaker at the battery before connecting or moving the charge controller.
• Check that the power connections are firmly tightened to minimise loss of power and the risk of overheating.
• Only charge batteries with data that matches the rated data of the charge controller.
• One or more batteries can be connected.
• Risk of electric shock — both the solar panel and the connected electrical equipment can generate high voltages when the charge controller is working.

DESCRIPTION

Complete 12 V solar cell package for the caravan, camper, boat or cottage! This portable solar cell kit from Anslut contains the following:

• 100 W solar cell panel with connecting cable (1 m x 2.5 mm).
• Regulator (10 A) with USB port.
• Cable with cable lugs for connection to 12 V battery (3 m). The solar cell panel is either hung up or leaned against the ground, a wall or roof. Its robust design and protective plastic film ensure a high degree of efficiency and long life span. When the panel is not in use it can be folded up to form a case — with space for the regulator and cables.
• 3-stage intelligent PWM charging — boost charging, peak/equalisation charging and float charging.
• Three battery alternatives —sealed, gel and wet-cell battery.
• Convenient and intuitive user interface.
• Status lights for battery status.
• Battery temperature compensation.
• USB port for charging electronic equipment.
• Button setting of battery type and load output.
• Comprehensive electronic safety functions.

HOW TO USE

CONNECTION
Connect in the following order:

1. Battery
2. Load
3. Solar panel as per wiring diagram.

Disconnect in the reverse order.
FIG. 2
NOTE:

• The power switch must be switched off and the fuse removed/circuit breaker switched off when connecting the charge controller. Conned the positive and negative leads with the correct polarity.
• A fuse with a tripping current of 1.25-2.00 times the rated current of the charge controller should be installed on the battery side, no more than 150 mm from the battery.
• If an inverter is used it should be connected directly to the battery, not to the load terminals on the charge controller.

BATTERY STATUS INDICATOR

Battery status for increasing voltage (charging)

Battery status for decreasing vo tage (discharging)

The voltages limits apply for 12 V system at 25°C. Multiply by 2 for 24 V system.

SETTINGS

1. Output (load) ON/OFF
   – When the charge controller is supplied with voltage, press the button to connect and disconnect the voltage to the output/load.

2. Battery type setting

HOW TO USE

1. Switch to settings mode by pressing the button for 5 seconds until the battery status light starts
2. Select the required type of battery by pressing the button.
3. The set type of battery is saved automatically if the button is not pressed for 5 seconds, and the status light stops flashing.

PROTECTIVE FEATURES

Battery overvoltage, disconnection
When the battery voltage reaches the overvoltage limit the charge controller stops the charging to protect the battery from damage.
Battery Undervoltage, over-discharge protection
When the battery voltage reaches the Undervoltage limit for over-discharging the charge controller stops the discharging of the battery to protect the battery from over-discharge damage.
Overcurrent protection
The power supply to the connected load is switched off when the current exceeds the rated current 1.25 times. The user must then reduce the connected total load and press the load switch button to reconnect the load.
Short-circuit protection
The power supply to the connected load is switched off if there is a short circuit in the connected load (a short circuit is considered to have occurred if the current is 3 times more than the rated current). The user must then rectify the short circuit and press the load switch button to reconnect the load.
Transient voltage suppression
The charge controller is protected from moderate transient overvoltages. This is only a basic protection – if powerful transient overvoltages are expected, for example in areas subject to frequent thunderstorms, the protector should be supplemented with an external transient voltage protector.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

| Possible cause|

Action

---|---|---
The charge controller goes off during the day in sunlight.| Solar panel connections loose or broken.| Check that the solar panel and battery leads are correctly connected to their respective terminals and that they are firmly tightened.
All the status lights are off.| low battery voltage, ‘ probably less than 8 V.| Measure the battery voltage with a multimeter. The charge controller needs at least 8 V to start.
The charge status indicator is flashing rapidly.| Overvoltage, battery.| Check if the battery voltage exceeds the disconnection limit, and disconnect from the solar panel.
Status light 1 flashing rapidly.| Undervoltage, battery.| The battery voltage has dropped below the disconnection limit and the over-discharge protector has disconnected the load from the battery. When the battery voltage is restored to at least the reconnection limit, the load is reconnected.
The load status indicator is flashing slowly.| Overload.| 1.    Disconnect one or more connected consumers to reduce the power output.
2.    Press the load switch button to reconnect the load.
The load status indicator is flashing slowly.| Short circuit.| 1.    Check the load and its connection, and rectify the short circuit.
2.    Press the load switch button to reconnect the load.

When the output current (power consumption of load) reaches 1.25, 1.5 and 2 times the rated current, the charge controller switches off the current automatically after 60 s, 5 s, and 1 s, respectively.
