• Please ensure the input Voltage fed to the Charge Controller does not exceed
50 VDC to prevent permanent damage to the Charge Controller. Ensure that the
maximum Open Circuit Voltage Voc of the 12V nominal Solar Panel / Solar Array is
less than 50V. If two 12V nominal Solar Panels are being used in series to make a
24V nominal Solar Array, make sure that the maximum Open Circuit Voltage Voc of
each of the 12 V Panels is less than 25V.
• Do not exceed the maximum current rating of 30 A.
• Do not exceed a Battery Voltage of 24V (nominal) . Do not use a battery less than 12V.
• Charge only 12 or 24V (nominal) Lead Acid batteries or Lithium batteries designed
for lead acid drop-in replacement. Charge settings (Dip Switch) must be set in ac-
cordance with battery manufacturer's recommendations.
• The controller should be protected from direct sunlight. Ensure adequate space for
air flow around the controller's face plate.
• Do not install in a sealed compartment with batteries.
• Never allow the solar array to be connected to the controller with the battery dis-
connected. This can be a dangerous condition with high open-circuit solar voltage
present at the terminals.
• Use only copper wire with minimum 75°C insulation rating, and between 10 AWG
(5.2 mm ) and 14 AWG (2.1 mm

• The Negative system conductor should be properly grounded. Grounding should
comply with local codes.
