Safety Features and Certifications
Electronic protection covers reverse polarity, short circuit, over-temperature, over-voltage, and overload conditions. Automatic BMS activation can reactivate protected LiFePO₄ batteries. Compliance markings and standards include UL1741, FCC, CE, EMC, and RoHS.
Installation and Maintenance Requirements
Install vertically using the flush-mount design. Power terminals accept maximum #8 AWG stranded wire and require 6.2–7.1 in-lb (0.7–0.8 N·m) torque. Connect a compatible 12V battery system and solar array within specified voltage limits, then confirm operation on the LCD and LED indicators. Keep the controller within its rated environmental conditions.
