Quick start instructions
This section provides a brief overview of how to get started using the controller,however, please review the entire manual to ensure best performance and years of trouble-free service.
Mount the controller to a vertical surface. Allow space above and below the controller for air flowmake sure the PV and load currents will not exceed the ratings of the controller being installed.It is recommended that the connections be made in order from 1 to 6.( see the following picture)4. Connect the BATTERY first. Use care that bare wires do not touch the metal case of the controller
5. Connect the SOLAR (PV array) next. The green LED indicator will light if sunlight is present.
6. Connect the LIGHT last. If the red LED indicator lights, the battery capacity is low and should be charged befor completing the system installation.
7. Press the BUTTON as 16 or 17 to vertify the system connectingLight control option

Number 17 Number 17 Light is turn on after sundown for 17 hours
Please note:
the output will off once there is over load or short circuit. Disconnect all the equipment and reconnect, and press the button, the controller will resume to work after 10 seconds or wait for it to work the next day.
TROUBLESHOOTINGS
Charging LED indicator is off when it is daytimeThe green charging LED should be on if its day time.Check that the proper battery type has been selected.Check that all wire connections in the system are correct and tight. Check the polarity(+ and -) of the connections.Measure the PV array open-circuit voltage and confirm it is within normal limits. If the voltage is low or zero, check the connections at the PV array itself. Disconnect the PV from the controller when working on the PV array.Measure the PV voltage and the battery voltage at the controller terminals. If the voltage at the terminals is the same (within a few tenths of volts the PV array is charging the battery. If the PV voltage is close to the open circuit voltage of the panels and the battery voltage is low, the controller is not charging the batteries and may be damaged.2. Charging LED indicator is blinking
a. First check the operating conditions to confirm that the voltage is higher than specifications. Consider the temperature compensation of the controller's PWM setpoint. For example, at 0°C the controller will regulate at about 15.0 volts.
b. Check that all wire connections in the system are correct and tight.
3. Load LED indicator is blinking, or flashing or on red (load not operating properly)
a. Check that the load is turned on. check that no system fuses are defective.
b. check connections to the load, and other controller and battery connections. make sure voltage drops in the system wires are not too high.
c. If the LED indicator is blinking and no output, check if the load is short-circuit. Disconnect the load, and press the switch button, the controller will return to work after 30 seconds
d. If the LED indicator is flashing and no output,check if the load is over the rated power. Reduce the load, and prdss the swith button, the controller will return to work after 30 seconds.
INSPECTION AND MANTENACE
The following inspections and maintenace tasks are recommended at least once per ear for best controller performance
Confirm that the correct battery type has been selected.Confirm that the current levels of the solar array and load do not exceed the controller ratingsTighten all the terminals. Inspect for loose, broken, or burnt wire connections. Be certain no loose strands of wire are touching other terminals.press the TEST button ( number:16 or 17) to verify the lights are workingCheck that the controller is securely mountd in a clean enviroment, Inspect for dirt, insects and corrosion.Check the air flow around the controller is not blocked.Protect from sun and rain. Confirm that water is not collecting under the cover.Check that the controller functions and LED indicators are correct for the system condisions at the time.Make sure the PV array is clean and clear of debrits and snow. Confirm the array is oriented correnctly for the installation location.solar charge controller
