screw holes provided.
Connect output wires from your solar panels to solar controller by sliding
terminal cover on controller (see picture on left) to expose terminals
beneath. Be careful to observe correct polarity.
Connect cord set (supplied) to battery clamps or directly to terminals
(depends on battery type) Observe polarity indications on ring end of
wires:
RED = + (positive) /BLUE = -- (negative).
Solar Controller has three (3) separate LED status indicators: They are:
YELLOW = Solar Power - Lit when suf cient sunlight is available to charge/
maintain/desulfate battery(s)
RED = Polarity Reversed (Battery only) If lit RED, reverse battery connector
wires to battery.
GREEN = Battery Charge If lit (solid) battery is being charged-desulfated.
If it blinks (ashes) battery is being maintained and desulfated (if required).
IF NO LEDs ARE LIT, SOLAR OUTPUT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW
ANY FUNCTIONS TO OCCUR. YOU MUST WAIT FOR ADDITIONAL
SOLAR OUTPUT TO OCCUR, BEFORE ANY ACTION CAN TAKE
PLACE.
Note: Never try to use your SCC180 solar controller with any solar panels
in excess of a 200 watt maximum rating. Doing so will burn out your
unit and void your FIVE (5) year warranty and ONE (1) year Guarantee.
