OPERATION PROCEDUREBattery chargingBattery will be automatically charged during the day from the solar panel. Do not disconnect the solar panel from the Solar Charge Controller. The GREEN LED on the left of the Solar Charge Controller will glow when the battery is charging.

Loads are powered through When the loads connected to the output 1 and output 2 of the Solar Charge Controller are switched ON, the battery starts discharging. The loads will automatically switch OFF as the battery voltage drops to 11.6+/-0.1V. The RED LED of the Solar Charge Controller glows and indicates the battery is low. The battery will be charged again from the solar panel when the sun shines again.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom Possible Cause Solution

Loads not powering ON

1. System is not properly connected

Connect the solar panel and the battery through the Solar Charge Controller. Check if thebattery charging GREEN LEDglows. In case GREEN LED does not glow, disconnect and reconnect the system.

2. Loads are connected to the Solar Charge Controller with polarity reversed

3. Battery is connected to the solar charge controller with polarity reversed

To understand how to connect the loads with correct polarity, refer to figure 6. Connect the +ve terminal to the +ve output terminal and –ve terminal to the –ve output terminal of the Solar Charge Controller.

Ensure that the battery is correctly connected. In case the battery is not correctly connected, disconnect the battery. Connect the batterywith correct polarity, i.e. connect red wire and black wire of the battery connectioncable to the +ve terminal and the –ve terminal of the battery.If the battery is reverse connected, the fuse blows. Ensure that the fuse has not blown. In case the fuse has blown, replace the fuse.

Symptom Possible Cause Solution

Loads not powering ON

4. Output short circuit while connecting the loads

Ensure that the output is properly connected. In case the connection is not proper, disconnect the system and reconnect the system. Ensure that the fuse has not blown. In case the fuse has blown, replace the fuse.

5. When in the morning, and at night there is no sunshine and the battery is discharged

1.The solar panel is reverse connected

2. Battery is reverse connected

Then the loads may not be powered as there is no sufficient energy. Check if the RED LED glows. Charge the battery until the RED LED stops glowing and the GREEN LED glows to indicate a fully charged battery.

To understand how to connect the solar panel with the correct polarity, refer to figure 2. Connect the +ve wire and –ve wire from the solar panel to the +ve and the –ve solar input terminal of the Solar Charge Controller. Ensure that the fuse is properly connected. In case the fuse has blown, replace the fuse. Disconnect the battery. Now connect the battery with correct polarity.
