INSTALLATION

3.1 General Installation Notes

• Read through the entire installation section first
before beginning installation.
• Do not install in locations where water can enter
the controller.
• Loose power connections and/or corroded wires
may result in resistive connections that melt wire
insulation, burn surrounding materials, or even
cause fire. Ensure tight connections.
• For good service life, extreme temperatures and
marine environments should be avoided.
WARNING: Solar and battery fuses or DC
breakers are required in the system. These
protection devices are external to the EcoPulse
controller, and must be a maximum of 15
Amps for the EcoPulse-10/M, 30 Amps for
the EcoPulse-20/M, and 40 Amps for the
EcoPulse-30/M.
WARNING: All breakers must be properly rated
for wire ampacity, which may require less than
the maximum breaker sizes referenced above.
WARNING: Minimum over-current protection
device interrupt ratings must be 2000A
for 12V systems, and 4000A for 24V systems.
