The controllers have a waterproof design, suitable for indoor or

outdoor use.

Do not disassemble the controller.

Lead acid, LiFePO4, LTO batteries can be dangerous. Ensure no sparks

or flames are present when working near batteries.

Eye protection should always be used. Never short circuit the battery

Given sufficient light solar panels always generate energy even when

they are disconnected.

Accidental ‘shorting’ of the terminals or wiring can result in sparks

causing personal injury or a fire hazard. We recommend that you

cover up the panel(s) with some sort of soft cloth, so you can block all

incoming light during the installation. This will ensure that no damage

is caused to the Solar Panel or Battery if the wires are accidentally

short circuited.

Always install a battery fuse on each circuit including the solar

controller. Fuse inlcude with Goal Zero cables.

Do not reverse connect the wires to the solar panel or battery

• Advanced MCU control pulse width modulated (PWM) technology, high efficiency.

• Target for LiFePO4, LTO (Lithium Titanium Oxide), Gel, AGM, Conventional lead-acid

(WET) and Calcium Batteries.

• Built in regulator to prevent your battery from being overcharged. Overcharging occurs

when the charge voltage is unregulated. This can result in premature battery failure.

• Comes with a regulator to prevent undercharging of your battery - a condition that is

very common in solar charging but especially with conventional lead-acid or calcium

batteries. The unit provides an automatic Equalization feature for deeply drained

Conventional lead acid battery or Calcium battery, as well as provides a cycling

automatic Equalizing feature every 28 days.

• Can be connected to the battery permanently to keep the battery fully charged by using

a process called “floating”. This means the controller will stop charging when the battery

is full and will automatically start charging the battery as required. This process will also

reduce water loss and help prevent the battery from ‘drying out’.

• Protects your battery from discharge at night. Under low light or no light conditions the

solar panel voltage could be less than the battery voltage. The unit contains a special

circuit which prevents current flowing back from the battery and into the solar panel.

• Colored LED’s to easily indicate the operational status and battery conditions.

• Digital LCD to directly display battery voltage, charging current, charging capacity (Amp

hour), battery types and fault codes.

• Provides external battery temperature sensor (Requires additonal wires - not included).

• Multi charging protections against reverse polarity, short circuit, over temperature, over

voltage, etc.

• Surface Mount, Flush Panel Mount or Portable solar kits Mount options.

• Conformal-coating circuit boards and plated terminals for inclement weather.

To protect the Battery and the Solar Panel, we strongly recommend that you place an

in-line fuse on the positive wire on both the “Solar” and “Battery” Circuits. 25A fuse for 20A

controller (As close to the Battery /Panel as possible). Fuse included with Goal Zero cables.

For the Battery connection we recommend using Goal Zero Spade to SAE cable (98370)

The Solar Controller has 4 terminals which are clearly marked ‘Solar’ and ‘Battery’.

There is a (12V) and earth (GND) terminal for each circuit.

Refer to the wiring diagram below.

Correct Wire Size:

Please refer to the wire size chart below to determine the minimum size wire needed for

each connection. This will also ensure you get the best performance out of your solar

regulator.

1. Using the stranded wires, screw tightly the wires to the “Solar” and “Battery” terminals

on the back of controller and connect to the Solar Panel and Battery.

2. If the cable gauge is too large to fit into the terminals of the controller, please properly

peel the part of copper wires prior to installation.

When the connections are completed, the Solar Controller will start working automatically.

You also can visually monitor your battery charging condition via an LCD bar on the top

of LCD meter, if the battery is in the charging process, the LCD bar will be flashing; if the

battery is fully charged, the LCD bar will turn on.

The VOLT / AMP button can be changed at any time during charging process.

The LCD also can be treated as an independent voltage meter or thermometer. A voltage

less than 11.5V Volts indicates that the battery is discharged and needs re-charging.

CHARGING STAGES

The unit has a 5-stage charging algorithm.

Soft Charge (Level 1) –Bulk Charge (Level 2)-Absorption charge (Level 3) – Equalizing Charge*

(Level 4) - Float Mode (Level 5)

Soft Charge- When batteries suffer an over-discharge, the controller will softly ramp the

battery voltage up to 10V.

Bulk Charge- Maximum current charging until batteries rise to Absorption level

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

Level 4

Level 5

Charging Stages

10

Absorption Charge- Constant voltage charge and battery is over 90%.

Equalization Charge*- Only for WET battery or Calcium battery type, when the battery is

deeply drained below 10V, it will automatically run this stage to bring the internal cells as an

equal state and fully complement the loss of capacity. (LiFePO4, LTO, Gel and AGM battery

do not run Equalization charge)

Float Charge- Battery is fully charged and maintained at a safe level. A fully charged Lead

acid battery (GEL, AGM, WET battery) has a voltage of more than 13.6 Volts; A fully charged

LiFePO4 or LTO battery has a voltage level of 13.4V.

Les régulateurs ont une conception étanche, adaptée à une utilisation

intérieure ou extérieure.

Ne pas démonter le régulateur. L'amener à une personne qualifiée si

l'appareil doit être réparé.

Les batteries plomb-acide, LiFePO4, LTO peuvent être dangereuses.

Veillez à ce qu'aucune étincelle ou flamme ne soit présente lorsque

vous travaillez à proximité de batteries.

Il faut toujours utiliser une protection oculaire. Ne jamais court-

circuiter la batterie.

Si la lumière est suffisante, les panneaux solaires produisent toujours

de l'énergie, même lorsqu'ils sont déconnectés.

Un court-circuit accidentel des bornes ou du câblage peut provoquer

des étincelles et entraîner des blessures ou un risque d'incendie.

Nous vous recommandons de couvrir le(s) panneau(x) avec une

sorte de tissu doux, afin de pouvoir bloquer toute lumière entrante

pendant l'installation. Cela permettra de s'assurer qu'aucun dommage

n'est causé au panneau solaire ou à la batterie si les fils sont

accidentellement court-circuités.

Installez toujours un fusible de batterie sur chaque circuit, y compris

lerégulateur solaire.

Ne pas inverser la connexion des fils au panneau solaire ou à la batterie

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES

17

• Technologie avancée de commande MCU à modulation de largeur d'impulsion (PWM),

haute efficacité.

• Cible pour LiFePO4, LTO (oxyde de lithium-titane), gel, AGM, plomb-acide conventionnel

(WET) et batteries au calcium.

• Régulateur intégré pour éviter que votre batterie ne soit surchargée. La surcharge

se produit lorsque la tension de charge n'est pas régulée. Cela peut entraîner une

défaillance prématurée de la batterie.

• Livré avec un régulateur pour éviter que votre batterie ne soit sous-chargée. Dans le

domaine de l'énergie solaire, une sous-charge de la batterie se produit toujours, en

particulier sur certaines batteries conventionnelles plomb-acide ou calcium. L'appareil

offre une fonction d'égalisation automatique pour les batteries conventionnelles plomb-

acide ou calcium profondément vidées, ainsi qu'une fonction d'égalisation automatique

cyclique tous les 28 jours.

• Peut être connecté à la batterie de façon permanente pour maintenir la batterie

complètement chargée en utilisant un processus appelé "floating". Cela signifie que le

régulateur arrête la charge lorsque la batterie est pleine et commence automatiquement

à charger la batterie selon les besoins. Ce processus permettra également de réduire

les pertes d'eau et d'éviter que la batterie ne "s'assèche".

• Protège votre batterie de la décharge pendant la nuit. Dans des conditions de faible

luminosité ou d'absence de lumière, la tension du panneau solaire peut être inférieure

à celle de la batterie. L'appareil contient un circuit spécial qui empêche le retour du

courant de la batterie vers le panneau solaire.

• Des LED colorées pour indiquer facilement l'état de fonctionnement et l'état de la batterie.

• LCD numérique pour afficher directement la tension de la batterie, le courant de charge,

la capacité de charge (Ampère-heure), les types de batterie et les codes des défauts.

• Fournit un capteur externe de température de la batterie (nécessite des fils

supplémentaires - non inclus).

• Protections multicharges contre les inversions de polarité, les courts-circuits, les

surchauffes, les surtensions, etc.

• Options de montage : montage sur surface, montage sur panneau encastré ou kits

solaires portables.

• Les cartes de circuits imprimés à revêtement conforme et les terminaux plaqués

s'appliquent aux environnements hostiles.
