Wiring Connections
To protect the Battery and the Solar Panel, we strongly recommend that you place an
in-line fuse on the positive wire on both the "Solar" and "Battery" Circuits. 15A fuse for 10A
controller (As close to the Battery /Panel as possible). Fuse included with Goal Zero cables.
For the Battery connection we recommend using Goal Zero Spade to SAE cable (98370)
The Solar Controller has 4 terminals which are clearly marked 'Solar' and 'Battery' .
Refer to the wiring diagram below.
Correct Wire Size:
Please refer to the wire size chart below to determine the minimum size wire needed for
each connection. This will also ensure you get the best performance out of your solar
regulator.
1. Using the stranded wires, screw tightly the wires to the "Solar" and "Battery" terminals
on the back of controller and connect to the Solar Panel and Battery.
2. If the cable gauge is too large to fit into the terminals of the controller, please properly
peel the part of copper wires prior to installation.
When the connections are completed, the Solar Controller will start working automatically.
