5. Installation
• Mount the regulator in a cool and ventilated, but dry location using the 4 mounting
holes [6]. Use M4x20 screws (not included) for easy mounting.
• First connect a 12V rechargeable battery (SOL30UC12V, not included) or a 24V
rechargeable battery (SOL30UC24V, not included) to connections [8]. Use the
correct polarity!
• Then connect a device or appliance (not included) to connections [9]. Make sure
the connected load is in accordance with the specifications of this regulator and
switched off. Use the correct polarity!
• Finally connect a solar panel (not included) to connections [11]. Make sure the
connected solar panel is in accordance with the specifications of this regulator. Use
the correct polarity!
• Verify whether all connections are tight and secure.
Do not short circuit or reverse polarity of battery, solar panel or load,
as this will lead to irreversible damage.
• To disconnect the regulator, first disconnect the solar panel, then the load and
finally the battery.
• Note that short connection wires will reduce power losses.
6. Use
• LCD [1] can show either battery voltage (A), discharge current from battery to
load (B) or charging current from solar panel to battery (C). Use switch [2] to
scroll through the displays, refer to the icons on top to know what is being
displayed.
• Use the Load on/off switch [3] to switch the connection to the load on or off.
When the icon
regulator is in over-discharge protection mode.
• Over-discharge protection mode. This mode will be enabled when the battery
voltage becomes too low. The power to the output connectors [9] is cut off to
prevent damage to the battery. Remove the load from the connector and wait
until the battery is fully recharged.
• Over-charge protection mode. This mode will be enabled when the battery
voltage becomes too high. The power from the solar panel input connector [7] is
cut off to prevent damage to the battery until the voltage drops below an
acceptable level.
• Over-load protection mode. This mode will be enabled when the load draws o
current of more than 30A.
• Load short circuit protection mode. Enabled when a short circuit in the load is
detected.
