Installation Guide

Refer

to Figure 6.1

for connections.

1. First, connect the negative cable to the

negative (−)

battery post. The best way to secure

the battery cable to the battery post is by using a

ring terminal

. A bolt is sufficient to secure

the ring terminal onto the battery post; doing so will allow for great electrical contact. Next,

connect the bare stranded portion of the cable to the

negative (−)

battery input terminal on

the charge controller.

2. Similarly to the instructions described above, connect the positive cable to the

positive (+)

battery post. For protection, an in-line fuse can be added to this cable. This is usually done with

a fuse holder. If opting for an in-line fuse, please do the following before connecting the

positive (+)

cable to the charge controller:

The butt connectors recommended for this application are the type with heat shrink insulation.

This will keep will give extra protection for the internal connection.

Use a crimper to splice the Maxi fuse holder with the battery cable. Once a strong connection is

achieved, use a

heat gun

to shrink the insulation on the butt connectors.

Make sure the fuse holder’s gauge wire size is matched.

Attach the fuse holder to the line with a butt connector or by soldering it.
