USER MANUAL

Please ensure that you have read the product manual and instructions in full prior to use. Failure to do so may result in incorrect operation and therefore impact the product’s performance.

PART LIST

1 x 110W Mono-Crystalline Solar Panel with 12V/10A Charge Regulator. (USB Version)
1 x 5m Extension Lead with Anderson Connectors 1 x Anderson to Alligator Clips Lead
1 x Anderson to Eye Terminals Lead
1 x Heavy Duty Bag

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Step 1:
Locate a clear sunlit area free from overhanging branches or heavy shade.
Step 2:
Unfold the solar panels, adjust the two supports to a suitable angle.
Step 3:
Always face the front side of solar panels towards the sun.
Wipe down the panels with a microfiber cloth to remove any dust or debris.

A Note:

To ensure maximum possible output we recommend that the solar panels are regularly re-aligned to follow the sun’s movement.
Wipe the solar panel with a microfiber cloth for maximum efficiency.

ABOUT THE REGULATOR

  1. Safety Information
  • Read all of the instructions in the manual before
  • DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair the
  • Disconnect the solar panel before installing or moving the
  • Power connections must remain tight to avoid excessive heating from a loose connection.
  • Only charge 12V batteries that comply with the parameters of
  • Battery connection may be wired to one battery or a battery

2. Overview

The 12V/10A regulator is a PWM charge regulator with USB output that uses the most advanced digital technique. Regulator features as follows:

  • Support 3 charging options: AGM, Gel &FIooded lead acid battery
  • Battery status LED indicator indicates battery condition
  • The USB will provide power supply that can charge electronic equipment
  • Battery type and load output can be set by pressing a button
  • Extensive Electronic protection

Setting Operation

(1)Load ON/OFF Setting
When the regulator is powered on, press the button to control the load output. NOTE: The USB will output when the load is on.

Battery Type Setting
Operation:
Step 1: Enter setting mode by pressing the button for 5 seconds until the battery status LEDs are flashing.
Step 2: Select the desired mode by pressing a button.
Step 3: The mode will be saved automatically without any operation for 5 seconds and LED will stop flashing.

Protection

  • Battery Over Voltage Protection

When the battery voltage reaches the set point of Over Voltage Disconnect Voltage(OVD), the regulator will stop charging the battery to protect the battery from being overcharged.

  • Battery Over-Discharge Protection

When the battery voltage reaches the set point of Low Voltage Disconnect Voltage(LVD), the regulator will stop discharging the battery to protect the battery from being over-discharged.

  • Load Overload Protection

Load will be switched off when 1.25 times rated current overload will occur. User has to reduce load appliance, then press the button or repower the regulator.

  • Load Short Circuit Protection

Load will be switched off when load short circuit (+3 times rated current) will occur. The user has to clear the short circuit, then press the button or restart the regulator.

  • High Voltage Transients Protection

The regulator is protected against small high voltage transients. In lightning-prone areas, additional external suppression is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Faults Possible reasons Troubleshooting

LED Charging indicator turn off duñngdaytme when sunshine falls on PV modules properly|

PV array disconnection

| Confirm that PV and battery wire connections are correct and tight
No LED indicator| Battery voltage may be less than 8V| Measure battery voltage with the multi-meter.Min.8V can start up the regulator
Charging status LED indicator Fast flashing| Battery Over Voltage| Check if the battery voltage is higher than OVD, and disconnect the PV
LED1 Fast flashing| Battery over-discharged| When the battery voltage is restored to or above the LVR point (low voltage reconnect voltage), the load will recover
Load status LED indicator slowly flashing| Load overload| @PIease reduce the number of electric equipment.
OzPress the button or repower the regulator
Load status LED indicator fast flashing| Load short circuit| @Check carefully loads connection, clear the fault 2Press the button or repower the regulator.
