How to Install & Use
- Set the discharge mode: The unit ships in normally open mode. To switch to pure light control or light control + timing mode, open the enclosure and adjust the DIP switch (key "on" = 1, key "off" = 0).
- Connect the battery first. If wired correctly, the battery indicator LED will illuminate.
- Connect the solar panel second. Place the panel outdoors in direct sunlight — the charge indicator will light up or flash within 10 seconds once a correct connection is confirmed.
- Connect the load last. Always observe correct polarity (anode/cathode) to avoid damage to the load or controller.
⚠ Important Notes:
- Always observe correct anode/cathode polarity on all connections.
- Minor size variations may occur due to manual measurement.
- Screen color settings may cause slight color variations from the product photos.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this solar charge controller compatible with both 6V and 12V battery systems?
A: Yes! The 6V/12V 10A solar charge controller automatically detects your system voltage — no manual configuration needed. It supports up to 60W at 6V and up to 120W at 12V, making it versatile for a variety of small solar setups including garden lighting, RV batteries, and off-grid projects.
Q: How do I change the discharge mode on this solar panel charge controller?
A: The unit ships in "normally open" mode by default. To switch to pure light control mode or light control + timing mode, you'll need to open the enclosure and adjust the DIP switch inside. Key position "on" = 1, and "off" = 0. Refer to the included user manual for the specific switch combinations for each mode.
Q: Does this charge controller offer protection against overload or short circuits?
A: Yes. This solar battery regulator includes built-in overload and short-circuit protection to help safeguard both your battery and your connected load from common electrical faults during operation.
Q: Where should I install this solar charge controller?
A: The controller carries an IP30 protection rating, which means it's best installed in a sheltered, dry indoor or semi-enclosed location (such as inside a weatherproof box or shed). The solar panel itself should be placed outdoors in direct sunlight for optimal charging performance.
