SECTION 6 |
Installation Steps
1. As explained earlier in Section 4, SCC-30AB is designed for flush mounting on a
wall panel. It has a face plate and a projecting part at the back consisting of the
PCB with the Terminal Strip, connector for the Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS)
and the DIP switches. The wall / panel will be required to be cut to accommodate
the projections of the circuit board mounted on the back of the faceplate.
All the wiring – 2 wires from the Solar Array, 2 wires to the battery and 2 wires to
the Battery Temperature Sensor (if used) will be led to the connections at the back
of the unit from behind the wall / panel. Make sure that the pocket created behind
the cut-out in the wall / panel is clear so that the back portion carrying the PCB is
not damaged when the unit is pushed back into the cut-out section of the wall /
the panel for flush mounting.
The front face plate of the SCC-30AB acts as the heat sink for the heat dissipating
components mounted on the PCB at the back of the Front Panel face plate. Hence, please
ensure that the Front Panel face plate is not located near a heat generating source and
that there is adequate cooling air flow across the face plate to remove the heat dissipated
from its surface.
A drawing for making the cutout in the wall / panel is given at Fig 6.1 (not to
scale). A full scale template is also included in the gift box to help direct marking
the area to be cut out. 4 screws (7 x 19, 5/8", Type 25 point, Flat Head, Phillips, Self
Tapping) have been provided to fix the unit to the wall / panel.
1
Place SCC-30AB Charge Controller face down on
template to ensure the holes in the Charge Controller
match the holes in the template before making any cuts.
Cut the wall/panel along the dotted line with a jig saw.

2. Make sure that the Short Circuit Current (Isc) of the panel/array does not exceed
30A rating of the SCC-30AB.
