Ensure that the maximum Open Cir-
cuit Voltage Voc of the 12 V nominal
Solar Panel / the Solar Array
is less than 26 V.
• Do not exceed the maximum current
rating of 8 A. The continuous Short
Circuit Current of the solar panel /
array should be less than 8 A.
• Do not exceed a battery voltage of
12V (nominal). Do not use a battery
less than 12V.
• Charge only 12 V lead-acid batteries
• DO NOT short circuit the PV array or
load while connected to the controller.
This will damage the controller.
• Never allow the solar panel / array to
be connected to the controller with
the battery disconnected. The internal
protections are activated only when
the 12 V battery is connected.

Safety Instructions
• Use only copper wire with minimum
75°C insulation rating. The size of the
wiring should be chosen depending
upon the distance of the controller
from the panel / array and the battery
to limit the voltage drop to < 2%
for 10 A.
• The Negative system conductor should
be properly grounded. Grounding
should comply with local codes.
