to mount so that the solar panel shades the enclosure.

observe polarity. Black wire connects to battery negative terminal and
BAT(-) terminal on the controller. When a fully charged battery is con-
nected, the Green LOAD LED should light on controller.

stall metal plate using 8 screws.

Feedthru gasket is on outside of enclosure and nut inside. Tighten nut.
OPTION: add a drop of threadlocker to the nut to prevent acci-
dental loosening.
STEP 4: Install two bracket pieces to the back of enclosure using 4
screws. Bracket can be used for wall mounting or pole mounting.
STEP 5: Wire solar panel to the controller solar inputs. Observe
proper polarity. The solar panel should be facing South if in Northern
Hemisphere. Face North if in southern hemisphere.
STEP 6: Mount any electronics boards to the metal plate. Connect
your load to the controller LOAD output.
On the bottom of the enclosure there are two double D cutouts for
standard N Female bulkhead connectors which can be used for an ex-
ternal antenna or RF device. Just remove the hole plug to use this cut-
out.
