2nd Step: COnneCt the SOlar MOdule
- ensure that the solar module is protected from incident light (cover it or wait
for night).
- ensure that the solar module does not exceed the maximum permissible
input current.
- first connect the M+ solar module connection cable to the correct pole of the left
pair of terminals on the solar charge controller (with the solar module symbol),
then connect the M– cable. remove the covering from the solar module.
3rd Step: COnneCt lOadS
- first connect the l+ load cable to the correct pole of the right pair of terminals on
the solar charge controller (with the lamp symbol), then connect the l– cable. Insert
the load fuse or switch on the load.
Notes: Connect loads that must not be deactivated by the solar charge controller
deep discharge protection, e.g. emergency lights or radio connection, directly to the
battery. loads with a higher current consumption than the device output can be di-
rectly connected to the battery. however, the solar charge controller deep discharge
protection will no longer intervene. loads connected in this manner must also be
separately fused.
4th Step: FInal wOrk
fasten all cables with strain relief in the direct vicinity of the solar charge controller
(clearance of approx. 10 cm).
