Solar Installation Instructions
Introduction

Solar installations are used in situations where there is no 240v mains but there are some drawbacks
and maintenance of the equipment is needed.

Points to Consider Include:

• Can the solar panel be mounted in a position where it will get sunlight most of the day i.e. away
from trees or buildings that shade the panel?

• The panels should be mounted at a height of at least 2 metres facing north and at the angle
shown in the attached table.

• The cable between the panel and the battery should be 4mm solar cable and if the cable length
is more than 5 metres contact us for more information.

• The panel needs to be kept clean as dirt and bird droppings can cut the efficacy by 70% which
reduces the number of operations the batteries can handle.

• If the equipment is going to be used at night this greatly reduces the number of operations that
can be achieved as the equipment will be drawing power from the batteries and there will be no
charging current from the solar panel.

Product Features
1. 12V/ 24 V system voltages are automatically recognized.

2. An upgraded 3-stage PWM charging algorithm is adopted. Application of an equalizing charging to the battery periodically or when

over discharged, can effectively prevent the battery from non-equalization and sulfuration, thus extending the battery's service life.

3. With temperature compensation employed, charging parameters can be automatically adjusted.

4. A wide range of load working modes facilitate the product's application to different types of load.

5. The product provides overcharge, over-discharge, overload protection, as well as short-circuit protection.

6. By virtue of an advanced load starting method, large-capacitance loads can be started smoothly.

7. The product provides a dot matrix graphic LCD screen and a human-machine interface with a key.

8. The user-friendly design of browser and dynamic interfaces ensure convenient and intuitive operations.

9. Boasting an industrial grade design, the product can function well in various tough conditions.

10. TVS lighting protection is adopted.

Installation Instructions and Precautions

1. The controller shall be installed securely, and its dimensions are as follows:
10A : External dimensions: 103×71×36(mm)
Installation dimensions: 96×60 (mm)
20A : External dimensions : 130×75×38(mm)
Installation dimensions : 122×64(mm)

2. Installation hole diameter:3.5(mm)

3. Operation Instructions
a) Step 1: Connect the battery. If the connection is correct, the controller screen lights up; otherwise, check whether the
connection is correct.
b) Step 2: Connect the solar panel. If sunlight is present and strong enough (the solar panel voltage is greater than battery
voltage), the sun icon on the LCD screen is on; otherwise, check whether the connection is correct.
c) Step 3: Connect the load. Connect the load leads to the controller's load output terminal, and the current shall not exceed
the controller's rated current.

4. As the controller generates heat during operation, it is recommended that the controller be installed in
an environment with good ventilation conditions.

5. Choose cables with large enough capacity for connection, in case too much loss incurred on the lines
causes the controller to misjudge.

6. The controller has a common positive pole inside. If grounding is needed, ground the positive pole.

3
7. It's important to fully charge the battery regularly. At least once full charging every month is
recommended, and failure to do that may cause permanent damage to the battery. Only when in-flow
energy outpaces out-flow energy can the battery be charged fully. Users shall bear this in mind when
configuring the system.

8. Check whether the controller's each connection terminal is tightened securely; if not, it may suffer
damage when there is excessive current.

Five load Working Modes

1. Pure light control (0): When sunlight disappears and the light intensity drops to the starting point, the controller initiates a one minute

delay (settable) to confirm the starting signal, and then switches on the load for operation. When sunlight emerges and the light intensity

reaches the starting point, the controller initiates a one minute delay to confirm the shutting-down signal, and then shuts down the

output to stop the load's operation.

2. Light control + time control (1 to 14): The starting process is the same as pure light control. After operating for a preset period of

time (settable from 1 to 14 hours), the load stops operation automatically.

5
3. Manual mode (15): In this mode, the user can switch the load on or off by the key, no matter whether it's day or night.

4. Debugging mode (16): In cases of 6V with light signals, the load will be shut off. In cases of 5V (varies according to the preset light

controlled voltage and system voltage) without light signals, the load will be switched on. This mode enables fast check of the

correctness of system installation during installation and debugging.

5. Normal on (17): The energized load keeps in output state.

Manually Switching On/Off Load

When the load mode is set to 15 (manual mode), short press the key (non-setting mode) in any interface to switch on or off the
load.

Short press the key

Note: As load start is a type of soft start, display of the load icon on the LCD screen will be delayed after the load is switched on.

Overload and Short Circuit Recovery

Overload and short circuit automatic recovery time: 5s at the 1st time; 10s at the 2nd time; 25s at the 3rd time; 30s at the 4th time; 30s at
the 5th time, or automatic recovery the next day.
