Solar Charge Controller LATshine06/10 User Manual
Solar charge controller
Dear Clients, make full use of many advantages the controller can provide your solar system.
This manual gives important recommendations for installing and using and so on. Read it carefully in your own interest please.
3.Dimensions
1.Description of Function
LATshine series solar controller is specifically designed to meet the needs of solar home systems. It provides the best cost-effective.
It comes with a number of outstanding features, such as:
● Low cost and high reliability design
● 12V/24V automatic recognition
● Clear readable display of charge/discharge and error description
●
●
Temperature compensation
Four stage charge way: fast, boost, equalization, float
● Full automatic electronic protect function
4.Installation
The following diagrams provide an overview of the connections and the proper order.
2.Safety instructions and waiver of liability
2.1 Safety
①The solar charge controller may only be used in PV systems in accordance with this user manual and the specifications of other modules manufacturers. No energy source other than a solar generator may be connected to the solar charge controller.
②Batteries store a large amount of energy, never short circuit a battery under all circumstances. We strongly recommend connecting a fuse directly to the battery to protect any short circuit at the battery wiring.
③Batteries can produce flammable gases. Avoid making sparks, using fire or any naked flame. Make sure that the battery room is ventilated.
④Avoid touching or short circuiting wires or terminals.
Be aware that the voltages on special terminals or wires can be as much as twice the battery voltage. Use isolated tools, stand on dry ground, and keep your hands dry.
⑤Keep children away from batteries and the charge controller.
2.2 Liability Exclusion
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damages, especially on the battery, caused by use other than as intended or as mentioned in this manual or if the recommendations of the battery manufacturer are neglected. The manufacturer shall not be liable if there has been service or repair carried out by any unauthorized person, unusual use, wrong installation, or bad system design.
LATshine
③ ④ ① ② ⑤ ⑥
To avoid any voltage on the wires, first connect the wire to the controller, then to the battery, panel or load.
Make sure the wire length between battery and controller is as short as possible.
Recommended minimum wire size:
LATshine06: 1.5 mm²; LATshine10: 2.5mm².
Be aware that the positive terminal of Shine are connected together and therefore have the same electrical potential.
If any grounding is required, always do this on the positive wires.
Connecting capacitive load may trigger short circuit protection.
!
Remark: If the device is used in a vehicle which has the battery negative on the chassis, loads connected to the controller must not have an electric connection to the car body, otherwise the Low Voltage disconnect and electronic fuse functions of the controller are short circuited.

*2 Controller can protect itself, but loads might be damaged.
*3 Battery must be protected by fuse, or battery will be permanently damaged.
*4 The solar panel voltage should not exceed this limit for a long time as voltage protection is done by a varistor.

Warning: The combination of different error conditions may cause damage to the controller.
Always remove the error before you continue connecting the controller.

The controller uses state of charge to protect the battery form being deeply discharged, Shine series controller is disconnect at 11.0V/22.0V.
!
Note:
1. If the controller goes into low voltage protection, it will restore only when the battery being recharged and the voltage reaching the reconnect voltage.
2. Around oblique line value separately on behalf of 12V and 24V system's value.
