QUICK START GUIDE
STEP 1. Connect the ring lugs to your 12V deep
cycle battery. This controller supports common lead
-acid battery types including AGM/Gel/Flooded.
If your battery has sufficient charge, the battery LED
indicator should light up solid.
STEP 2. Connect the MC4 style solar connectors
to a 12V solar panel rated no more than 150 watts.
As the battery charges, the solar LED indicator
should begin to slow flash.
