controller: Overcharge protection; Deep discharge protection; Battery
undervoltage protection; Solar module reverse current protection.

4. INSTALLATION

4.1 MOUNTING LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Do not mount the solar charge controller outdoors or in wet rooms. Do
not subject the solar charge controller to direct sunshine or other sources
of heat. Protect the solar charge controller from dirt and moisture. Mount
upright on the wall (concrete) on a non-flammable substrate. Maintain
a minimum clearance of 10 cm below and around the device to ensure
unhindered air circulation. Mount the solar charge controller as close as
possible to the batteries (with a safety clearance of at least 30 cm).
4.2 FASTENING THE SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER
Mark the position of the solar charge controller fastening holes on the
wall.
Drill 4 x 6 mm holes and insert dowels. Fasten the solar charge controller
to the wall with the cable openings facing downwards, using 4 oval head
screws M4 x 40 (DIN 7996).
4.3 Connection
Use a wire size suited to the current rating of the charge controller, e.g.
6mm² for 10A for cable length of 10 m. An additional external 20A fuse
(not provided) must be connected to the battery connection cable, close to
the battery pole. The external fuse prevents cable short circuits.
Solar modules generate electricity under incident light. The full voltage
is present, even when the incident light levels are low. Protect the solar
modules from incident light during installation, e.g. cover them.
NEVER TOUCH NON ISOLATED CABLE ENDS. Use only insulated tools.
Ensure that all loads to be connected are switched OFF. If necessary, remove
the fuse. Connections must always be made in the sequence described
below:
1ST STEP: CONNECT
THE BATTERY
- Connect the battery connection
cable with the correct polarity to
the middle pair of terminals on
the solar charge controller (with
the battery symbol).
- If present, remove any external
fuse. Connect battery connection
cable A+ to the Positive pole
of the battery. Connect battery
connection cable A– to the
Negative pole of the battery.
Insert the external fuse in the battery connection cable.
- If the connection polarity is correct, the info LED illuminates GREEN.
