3.5.4 Solar Panel Connection
If the Solar Panel Icon is blinking or flickering, it means the controller does not detect the existence of
solar panels. Check that all the connections with the solar panels are making good contact and are in good
condition. Check the connection terminals on the controller for any open-circuit conditions.
3.5.5 Load In-Rush
If the Load Icon is blinking or flickering when you turn on the load, it means the starting in-rush current
for the load is more than twice that of the rated working current. Please lower or remove the load and restart
the controller.
