WARNINGS & SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: The manufacturer is not responsible for any potential injury from misuse

  • Please ensure that you have read the product manual and instructions in full before using this product. Failure to do so may result in incorrect operation and potentially impact the performance of the product.

  • This product converts natural sunlight into DC electricity. It is designed to charge a 12V battery.

  • For optimum performance, protect the solar cell from dust, dirt, and other debris.

    • Use and store the product in a dry and ventilated location.

    • Do not use in flammable or explosive areas.

    • Stop use immediately if any wires become loose or electronic components are exposed.

    • Do not pick panel up directly by the solar cells.

    • Use the gap between solar cells to pick up the panel.

    • Do not stand or walk on the solar panel.

    • Ensure battery has enough voltage for the solar charge controller to recognise the battery type before first installation.

    • Battery cable should be as short as possible to minimise loss.

    • The regulator is suitable for with LiFePO4 batteries and lead-acid batteries (Flooded, LEAD, AGM, & GEL). Not suitable for nickel metal hydride, or other battery types.

    • Charge regulator is only suitable for regulating solar modules. Never connect another charging source to the charge regulator.

    • The PWM solar charge controller will be hot when working. Please install in a flat, well ventilated area.

    • Never open the device

    • The solar controller is not waterproof & should not be left in an area exposed to direct sunlight or rain

  • 1 x 50A Connector 4.5M Extension Lead
  • 1 x 50A Connector to Alligator Clips 0.5M Lead

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Unfold the solar panel
  • Place the unfolded solar panel in a postion that receives direct sunlight, facing to the sun. Ensure that no shadows are covering the solar cells.
  • Tilt the solar panel at a suitable angle. This can be the same as your local lattitude (additional support may be necessary, not supplied).
  • Connect the solar panel to the PWM solar charge controller before connecting battery clamp lead to the solar controller.

HOW TO CHARGE A 12V BATTERY

  • Connect the battery to the solar charge controller.
  • Connect load to solar charge controller.
  • Connect solar panel to solar charge controller.
  • Reverse this order when disconnecting.
    NOTE: Heavy loads should not be connected to the battery.

TROUBLESHOOTING

ISSUE LIKELY CAUSE SOLUTION
E01 Low battery voltage, load off Change the battery or change a new

battery.
E02| Overload, load off| Decrease the load, the use (-) button to turn on the load. Load will automatically turn on after 2 minutes.
E03| Load short-circuit, load off| Remove the short-circuit load, use (-) button to turn on the load.
E04| Over-voltage of battery, load off| Check the connection of battery, and whether if the capacity of battery is too low, check if there is another charger connected to the battery.
E05| Solar panel over current, controller stops charging| Check whether the power of solar panel has been over powered, decrease the panels and then the controller will start charging automatically after 2 minutes.
