 2. Installation Remote
Install： Temperature monitoring
① Ready tools and cables. Encourage you to matching Solar Charge and control
Sensor Port
the right cables. Ensure that the current density<4mm2 Controller port
that is conductive to reducing the line voltage drop.
Recommended: 50A with 16mm cable.
Check weather the installation sites compliance with
the relevant safety requirements. Please avoid the
damp, dusty, there is a place flammable, explosive and
corrosive gases use the controller to install.

② Install the controller into a fixed vertical plane. See Solar Panel
section 5 of the pore size and pore spacing. In order FAUSE DC Load
to ensure a good thermal control conditions, please
set aside each 10cm below the controller space.

③ As shown on the right, connect the (1) Load, Battery

(2) Battery and (3) Solar Panel to the controller according to the order of (1) (2) (3). Pay attention
to the load, battery, solar panel and controller of same polarity.
④ Put into the external temperature sensor on the left of the controller (probe port). The temperature
sensor should be similar space with battery. (Otherwise, the controller will control the parameters of
all wrong temperature compensation.)
⑤ If you have remote monitoring and control function, please insert one end of the included
communication wire on the right of the controller (communication port), the other end to connect to
The host computer.
Demolition: To prevent accidents, please order the demolition of solar panels, battery and load disconnect with
controller.
Note：：Battery polarity will not damage the controller, but you will have a load equipment security risks.

The controller will default entry “battery voltage” interface after correct power-on. This is the main
interface.
Use the button could in turn visit the following parameters interface
3.1 Battery Voltage of View
As shown on the right, displays the value for current battery voltage.
This interface (based interface) displays charge status, discharge
status, battery capacity and battery voltage.

3.2 The load on/off control

As shown on the right, displays the ambient temperature of the
controller, the value used for temperature compensation on LVD function.
The sensor must be plug in before using the controller.

3.4 Solar Panel charging current of View

As shown on the right, display the value of charging current from solar
panel.

3.5 Load discharging current of View

As shown on the right, display the value of discharging current for
Loads.

3.6 View the Accumulated charging power (Ah) by solar panel and back

As shown on the right, display the accumulated charging power from solar
sanel (Total ampere hour), long press the button more than 5seconds,
The value will back to zero.

3.7 View the Accumulated discharging power (Ah) by Load and Back to zero
As shown on the right, display the accumulated discharging power for loads (Total
ampere hour), long press the button more than 5seconds, the value
will back to zero.

At the main interface press for long (＞5 seconds, and the number starts flickering) to enter into parameter
Setting interface. Press for short (＜1 second) to reset the parameter, and press , to adjust this
parameter.

Working Mode Disconnection (LVD)

4.1 Set the High Voltage Disconnection

As shown on the right, shows the values for the HVD voltage.When
the battery voltageis reach to HVD voltage, the controller will
cut off the charging circuit to prevent over-charging battery.
Battery voltage drops under the value the charging circuit will
be re-connected.In this interface，numbers start flashing, you can
use the key , to adjust the parameter. After long press the key （＞
5seconds）to exit parameters etting interface, the controller will save the settings.

4.2 Set the Low Voltage Reconnection

As shown on the right, shows the values for the LVR voltage. Under the LVR
protection in the controller, when the battery voltage is restored to the higher voltage
than LVR voltage, the controller will re-connect the load circuit. In this interface，

 numbers start flashing. You can use the key , the parameter. After long press
the key （＞5seconds）to exit parameter setting Interface, The controller will save the settings.

4.3 View and set the Low Voltage Disconnection Protection

As shown on the right, shows the values for the LVD protection voltage.
When the battery voltage is lower than protection voltage, the
controller will disconnect the load circuit to prevent battery
over-discharge. In this interface，numbers start flashing, that has
entered the LVD setup interface, you can use the key 、 to adjust
the parameter. After long press the key （＞5seconds）to exit parameter setting
interface, the controller will save the settings

4.4 View and set Load Working Mode

As shown on the right is Load working mode interface, different values
represent different load working patterns.
24h said Normal Mode, in case of no fault state of the load is always in power.
1h～～23h said Light Control with Time Control Mode, Load power after dark,
and close the load according to the timer setting.
0h said Light Control Mode, Load power after dark, turn off the load after drawn.
In this interface, numbers start flashing, that has entered the Load Working Mode
setup interface, you can use the key , to adjust the parameter. After long
press the key (＞5seconds）to exit parameter setting interface, the
controller will save the settings.

 4. Common Fault and Handling
LVD Protection and Treatment
Screen display as shown in the figure that the battery drops below the LVD
protection voltage. The controller has entered the LCD protection state, load circuit
has been disconnected. Use the solar panels recharge the battery or charger when
the battery voltage reaches LVR voltage, the controller will resume on the load
power supply, into the normal working state.

Over load Protection and Treatment

Screen display (see the figure) and flashing expressed load loop circuit current
sustained 60seconds than 1.5times rated current, the controller has entered into
overload protection state. After reduce the load, press the button to restore
power to the load.

Short Circuit Protection and Treatment

Screen display (see the figure on the right) and flashing expressed there is short
circuit on the load loop circuit. The controller has enter into Short Circuit Protection
state Check the load if there is damage or not, if there is cable short circuit or not,
after trouble shooting short press the button for restoration.

Solar Panel Fault and Treatment

Symbol flashing represent the controller was not detected solar panels within 24hours. Check if
there is a connection from solar panel, check if there is an open circuit between solar panels with
controller.

Load Shock Fault

Open load if the flashing, that indicate the load impulse current is more than twice rated current of
the controller. The controller is restarting the load in action many timers do.
