POWER GENERATION SYSTEM
QUICK CONNECT GUIDE Rev. 190316

Using wire cutters, snip the 10-gauge, 15ft.
MC4 extension cable  into two equal halves
(7.5ft each.) On the cut ends, strip off ¼-inch of
insulation, revealing bare wire. Connect the
branch connectors  to the cable ends such
that each input becomes 3 inputs.
Connect the MC4 ends of the halved cable  to the
compatible MC4 ends of the solar panel  cables.
(Mark the end of the positive panel cable with a piece
of tape to help distinguish polarity during connection.)

Connect the bare wire end of the positive cable  to the “SOLAR +” input of the charge controller . Connect
the negative bare end  to the “SOLAR -” input. Now, you can mount the PWM-165 to an indoor wall or within a
NEMA-3R rated enclosure.
Remove the panel covering. In good sunlight, the charge controller’s  ”BAT %” should increase to 100%. Once
the battery is fully charged and the controller is set to “LOAD ON,” the system will provide power through the load
control output or through the two USB ports. If an inverter is added to the system, it must be connected to the
battery bank, and not to the charge controller.
