Connect the trailer plug extension cable to the solar panel and then complete the connection into the SOLAR side of the
7 Amp Solar Charge Controller. Keep the solar panel connected and connect the green LED voltage tester to the BATTERY
side of the solar charge controller. The green LED should now illuminate and you can proceed with the installation.
3
Connect the solar charge controller to a 12-volt battery using the trailer plug battery clamps observing correct polarity
(RED/POSITIVE)(BLACK/NEGATIVE). Ensure the two battery clamps never touch each other, and do not leave the
battery clamps connected to the solar panel and not connected to the controller or battery. Do not leave battery clamps
connected to the charge controller without connecting the battery.

FAQ:
1. What type of batteries can my solar panel charge?
A. Any rechargeable 12V battery such as those commonly
found in cars, boats and RVs.
2. Can I overcharge my battery?
A. No, the included solar charge controller regulates against
any overcharge.
3. Why does my battery not appear to be charging?
A. It is common to have issues with 12V batteries, check their
voltage regularly. Some batteries may not reach the charge
controllers designated 'FULL' status. This is normal, as there
are many different battery technologies. Battery usage and
condition can also affect this behaviour.
4. Is the solar charge controller weatherproofed?
A. No the solar charge controller must be used in a dry and well
ventilated environment.
5, Can I test the panel and/or charge controller with a multimeter?
A. Yes, in open circuit (panel not connected to the controller or
battery) under full sun a multimeter should read 16-21 Volts DC.
When the charge controller is connected to the panel (again
without connecting to the battery) the voltage should still read
16-21 Volts DC.
