2.2 Setting up your MPS as PV charge controller (stand-alone mode)
Please be sure to always follow this procedure in the following sequence:
Set the DIP switches according to the PV charge controller function
Mount MPS on DIN rail or wall
Connect the battery to the unit with proper polarity
Connect the solar array to the unit
When disassembling, perform the installation sequence in reverse order.
Note: Changes to DIP switches after connecting the unit to the battery do not affect the function
