NOTE: All PV modules in a given array are assumed to be identical.
*Isc=short circuit current(amps) Voc=open circuit voltage.
Model Max. PV input current
BSS0211 10A
BSS1184 20A
*These are the maximum wire sizes that will fit the controller terminals.
CAUTION: When the PV modules connect in series, the open circuit voltage of the PV array
must not exceed 92V at 25° C environment temperature.
Battery and Load Wire Size
The battery and load wire size must conform to the rated current, the reference size as
below:
Model Rated Rated dischar-
charge ge current
current
BSS0211 10A 10A
BSS1184 20A 20A
CAUTION: For the battery, the recommended wire will be selected according to the condi-
tions that its terminals are not connected to any additional inverter.
MOUNTING
WARNING: Risk of explosion!
Never install the controller in a sealed enclose with flooded batteries! Do not install in a
confined area where battery gas can accumulate.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock!
When wiring the solar modules, the PV array can produce a high open circuit voltage, so
turn off the breaker before wiring and be careful when wiring.
CAUTION: The controller requires at least 150mm of clearance above and below for proper
air flow. Ventilation is highly recommended if mounted in an enclosure.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
Figure 2-1 Mounting
Step 1: Determination of Installation Location and Heat-dissipation Space
Determination of installation location: The controller shall be installed in a place with suf-
ficient air flow through the radiators of the controller and a minimum clearance of 150 mm
from the upper and lower edges of the controller to ensure natural thermal convection.
Please see Figure 2-1: Mounting
CAUTION: If the controller is to be installed in an enclosed box, it is important to ensure
reliable heat dissipation through the box.

Step 2: Connect the system in the order of (1) battery -> (2) load -> (3) PV array in ac-
cordance with Figure 2-2,"Schematic Wiring Diagram" and disconnect the system in the
reverse order (3) (2) (1)
