The Kid Solar Charge Controller Instructions
Mounting the KID:
There are three methods of mounting available for the KID:
1. In wall mounting.
This is very useful for RV’s, some boats and cabins or just about anywhere you want a built in look.
You will need to insure that the wall is not so thick as to obstruct the wiring that enters through the
bottom surface of the KID. The conduit wire holes in the bottom of the casting are 0.28” (7mm away
from the back mounting flange. So if your wall is more than 0.25” (6.35mm) thick, this may interfere
with accessing the wiring behind the wall. The conduit nut or adapter also takes away from this
narrow wall allowance. You may be able to remove some material from the back surface of the wall
to increase clearance.
Mounting holes are designed for #1 0 (5mm) screws.
The hole cut into the wall must be very accurate. A template is provided at the end of this manual.
The casting on the KID is 8.65” (21 9mm) x 4.54” (11 5mm) with a .400 (1 0mm) radii on each corner.
Mounting holes are designed for a #1 0 (5mm) screw. The center to center dimensions are 8.763”
(222mm) x 4.5” (11 4mm) The KID has a depth of 1 .45” (37mm) from the mounting flange to the
back surface.
A template is provided at the back of this manual.
