The KID Solar Charge Controller Instructions
-FUNC: PWM Divert – OFF/AUTO – This function will divert excess power to the load when
extra power is available and it will maintain 3 stage battery charging. There are 2 parameters
that can be adjusted when Pressing the SETUP button; Offset and Width
Offset: This is measured in voltage and refers to an offset from the current battery voltage Set
point. For example, if the battery charging stage is Absorb, then the offset is taken from the
Absorb set point. It will be taken in the same manner from the other stages, and it will also take
into account if the battery temperature sensor is plugged in and set up.
Width: This is measured in voltage and refers to the number of volts the transition will take,
from On to Off and vise-versa.
To use PWM Divert Mode do the Following:
• From the Status Menu: Press Menu Back
• Scroll to the Right and select Load and Press Enter
• Select FUNC: PWM Divert
• Press the Right button to *ON
• Press the Save Button
• Press SETUP button to adjust the Offset and Width set points.
-FUNC: Float ON: The Load will be turned on when the battery state of charge is Float and it will turn

To use Float On Mode do the Following:
• From the Status Menu: Press Menu Back
• Scroll to the Right and select Load and Press Enter
• Select FUNC: Float On
• Press the Right button to *Auto

• Press the Save Button
-FUNC: Diversion – OFF/AUTO – Diversion – OFF/AUTO – This function will divert excess
power, when available, to the load. This mode is not PWM based. There are 2 parameters that
can be adjusted when Pressing the SETUP button: VoltOn and VoltOff. To use Diversion Mode
do the Following:

• Scroll to the Right and select Load and Press Enter
• Select FUNC: Diversion
• Press the Right button to *ON
• Press the Save Button
