Instructions / Assembly

Test Solar Panel for Voltage
Connect Voltmeter to the panel separately from the charge controller and observe Open Voltage. Open
Voltage can range from 16 Volts to 24 Volts.
Test Connection to Charge Controller for Voltage.
Reconnect solar panel, and connect to charge controller as per instructions. Measure the Open Circuit
Voltage at the battery side of the charge controller. Open circuit voltage should read 5-10% lower than
without charge controller. Open circuit measurement will read between 15 and 23.5.
Connect Charge Controller to Battery
First, disconnect solar panels and connect charge controller to battery. Always connect charge controller to
battery first and remove last. Observe polarity – positive to positive and negative to negative.
Reconnect Solar Panels to Charge Controller
If battery voltage is 14.2 or higher, the GREEN LED should be on. If battery voltage is between 13 and
14.2, the YELLOW LED should be on. If battery voltage is 13 or lower, the RED LED should be on.
If all testing results within the above indicated ranges, solar system is in acceptable range. If Voltage
readings indicate lower ranges, repeat above connections and retest. Finally, it is common to have 12V
battery issues such as dead cells or non-rechargeable battery problems.
