CAUTION: A multi-controller system requires the following specialized installation and setup:
1) Each controller must connect to and charge the same primary battery.
2) One controller must be set to address 0 (zero, Master) and the others be set to addresses 1 – 7 with no controllers set the same.
3) Charge parameters are set in the master only.
4) While outputs connect in parallel to a common battery, PV inputs and wiring to each controller must be completely separate.
5) All controllers must be connected to the IPN network as shown in Figure 5.

address 0 (zero) to serve as the master. The other controllers must be set to address 1-7 with no two controllers set the same.
The 1524 requires that a jumper be soldered across location A2 to select addresses 4 through 7.
