STEP 8: If batteries are installed on their side make

sure to apply an insulator to the top of the battery termi-

nal to prevent the battery terminals from shorting to the

metal enclosure in case the battery shifts inside the en-

closure during an earthquake.

STEP 9: Set the proper voltage on the AC input of

the controller by removing the metal tab and then switch-

ing the input voltage to 120VAC or 240VAC depending

on your source voltage. Be sure to replace the metal tab

to ensure that somebody doesn’t accidentally switch the voltage as this

will damage the controller.

STEP 10: Connect the battery cables to the controller , then to the

battery. Be sure to observe proper polarity. Black wire connects to bat-

tery negative terminal and BATTERY(-) terminal on the controller.

STEP 11: When a battery is connected properly the BATT LED

will be green. Make sure that the Battery Type is selected correctly and

never change the battery type during charging or this could damage the

controller. Use GEL for GEL or AGM batteries. Use WET for standard

lead acid wet cells. Tycon recommends using only GEL or AGM batter-

ies for best performance.

The controller has battery overdischarge protection to disconnect the

load if the battery voltage (charge) is too low. The LOAD LED will be on

when the battery charge is within safe limits and the LOAD output is

turned on.
