Installation and Maintenance Requirements
Install in a compatible 12V or 24V solar battery system. The maximum terminal size is 8 AWG. Confirm PV voltage, battery voltage, and polarity during commissioning; the controller automatically detects nominal system voltage. Provide sufficient clearance around the 9.37 × 6.81 × 2.85-inch enclosure for ventilation and service access. The LCD and LED indicators display charging status, battery information, operating parameters, and fault codes.
