Installation Guide

CAUTION

WARNING

Connect battery terminal wires to the charge controller FIRST then

connect the solar panel(s) to the charge controller. NEVER connect

solar panel to charge controller before the battery.

Do not over-torque or over tighten the screw terminals. This could

potentially break the piece that holds the wire to the charge controller.

Refer to the technical specifications for max wire sizes on the controller

and for the maximum amperage going through wires.

The front of the Adventurer will serve as a heat sink, therefore it is important to ensure that the

mounting location is not near any heat generating sources and ensure that there is proper

airflow across the faceplate of the Adventurer to remove the heat dissipated from the surface.

WARNING

Never install the controller in a sealed enclosure with flooded batteries. Gas can

accumulate and there is a risk of explosion.

Mounting Recommendations:

The Adventurer is designed for flush mounting on a wall. It consists of a face plate with

projecting terminals on the backside for connecting the battery bank, panels, and optional

sensors for accurate battery voltage sensing and battery temperature compensation. If utilizing

the wall mount, then the wall will be required to be cut to accommodate the projecting terminals

on the backside. Make sure that the pocket of the wall cut leaves enough space to not damage

the terminals when the Adventurer is being pushed back into the cut out section of the wall.

NOTE

The Adventurer comes equipped with screws for wall mounting. If they are not

suitable try

using Pan Head Phillips Screw 18-8 Stainless Steel M3.9

Size 25mm length screws.

Choose Mounting Location—

place the controller on a vertical surface protected from

direct sunlight, high temperatures, and water. Make sure there is good ventilation.

Cut out Wall section—

the recommended wall size to be cut should follow the inner

protruding part of the charge controller while being careful not to go past the mounting holes.

The depth should be at least 1.7 inches (43mm).

Check for Clearance—

verify that there is sufficient room to run wires, as well as

clearance above and below the controller for ventilation. The clearance should be at least 6

inches (152mm).

Mark Holes

Secure the charge controller.
