Required Materials
1. Silicone or any suitable roof sealant. Contact your local RV
dealer or RV store for a recommendation on a sealant to suit
your specific RV roof material.
2. Anti-galling lubricant to prevent “thread galling” of all
stainless steel fasteners exposed to outdoor environment. This
should be available at most hardware or auto-parts stores. If
anti-galling lubricant is not available, any standard lubricant
will minimize the occurrence of “thread galling”.
3. If wiring distances are longer than 20 ft. length of wire
provided with the kit, extra stranded copper wire will be
required. Wires should be 12 AWG or thicker, single conductor,
Type UF (Underground Feeder - marked as sunlight resistant),
Type SE (Service Entrance) or Type USE/USE-2 (Underground
Service Entrance). Alternatively, the following may be ordered
for additonal 20 ft. extension:
• Solar Panel Connecting WIres Kit "SCW-20-2"
• Solar Panel Multi Contact Connectors "MC4-2"

The instructions in this Section are only a brief summary of information contained in the manual.
3. Make sure the solar panels and batteries are disconnected from the Charge Controller before
installing the Charge Controller.
4. The Charge Controller should ideally be located in an area relatively close to the battery.
5. The Charge Controller should be mounted indoors in a dry location.
6. The Charge Controller is designed to be flush mounted on a wall or cabinet so that the wiring
at the back can be accessed. Allow adequate spacing (2-3 inches) behind the unit to accommodate
the Charge Controller and the wiring.

the installation surface and the location of the mounting holes.
8. Using a hand drill and suitable drill bit, drill the mounting holes.
9. Using a jig saw or suitable cutting tool cut the material out from the installation surface.
