Common Q&A
How to install?
A: (1)Battery --->(2)Solar panels ---> (3)DC load. Disconnect order is (1)DC load --->(2)Solar panels ---> (3) Battery
Q: What battery type is this controller supported?
A: Pay attention to this regulator is only suitable for lead acid batteries: OPEN, AGM, GEL, not for nickel hydride, lithium, ions, or other batteries.
Q: Why the LCD screen become blank?
A: When the battery voltage is too low, the controller will stop to output ( ? 8V, controller turns itself off, LCD is blank, ? 10.7V (default), 12V output ports are not available); after the solar panels charging, it will re-output when the battery will return to 12.6V(default).
Q: Why does the controller display 14.4V?
A: If the solar charge controller is set to 12V, when the battery voltage reaches 14.4V or 14.5V, the solar charge controller will stop charging and play a protective role. If it does not enter the floating state, please don't worry, the solar charge controller has a voltage limit value, will be not charge if the battery voltage reaches to 14.4V or 14.5V.
Note:
<1> Make sure the voltage of your battery reach 11V for initial use , so as to start up for the controller to registered the battery type accordingly.
<2> Old batteries may be degraded the capacity after hundereds of cycles, easily drop lower than 8V, which results in the controller will be shut off (LCD screen become totally DEAD).
<3> Indoor use only: the working temperature of this controller is -35°C to +60°C. During hot sunny days, the temperature outside might go up to 60-75°C. Please do keep the controller stay in cool and well-ventilated place to maintain good heat dissipation
