more than 140W (17.5V 8A).
The solar charge controller is a fully automatic self-sustaining device that will initiate the charge
cycle only when solar power is available. It runs independently from the built-in AC charger. When
a solar panel is connected to the DC Input port, the ‘Solar Charge’ indicator located at the display
panel indicates the charging status of the internal battery.
Note: If insufficient charge capacity is available from the solar source, it is recommended to use
the built-in AC charger to complete the battery charging process through the utility once a month.
DC Input port
WARNING: Shock, fire and energy hazards. Make sure the solar panel is covered with
an opaque sheet or facing the ground before connecting or disconnecting the cable wire to the
DC Input Port located at the back of the unit. All wiring must be done in accordance with
applicable local and national electrical wiring codes. Connect solar panel with higher voltage or
current rating will permanently damage the unit and may cause fire and energy hazard.
Connect to optional KISAE Solar Panel:
 Cover the solar panel with an opaque sheet or facing the ground before connecting the cable
wire.
 Plug in the DC cable connector to the DC input port located at the back of the unit. Please
note the polarity of the connector before connected. Improper connections (reversing the wire
connection on the solar panel connection box) will cause the unit to malfunction and may
permanently damage the unit. Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not
covered by your warranty.
 Remove the opaque sheet or flip the solar panel with solar cell surface facing upwards.
Adjust the mounting fringe of the solar panel to have the solar cell surface facing directly to
the sunlight to achieve the maximum power. When sunlight is available, the ‘Solar Charge’
indicator located at the display panel should automatically turn on and the indicator should
either flash or remain solid depending on the battery status.
NOTE: It is recommended to always charge the internal battery to a 100% state-of-charge, as
shown by a steady green on “Solar Charger” indicator.
Connect to non-KISAE Solar Panel:
The DC Input port located at the back of the unit comes with PP45 Anderson Powerpole
connectors. To connect a non-KISAE Solar Panel to the Home Solar System, use the supplied
cable and make your own wire connection to your solar panel through the two bare wire ends.
Please double check on the polarity before connected. The red connector is used to connect to
the positive terminal of the Home Solar System and the white connector is used to connect to
the negative (ground) terminal of the Home Solar System.
CAUTION: Reverse polarity. Improper connections (reversing the wire connection on the
solar panel connection box or the connector wiring) will cause the unit to malfunction and may
permanently damage the unit. Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not
covered by your warranty.
If you want to make your own connector on your solar panel cable, the following parts and the
appropriate crimping tools are required. Please check on website www.andersonpower.com
under the Powerpole Connectors section for parts details and the wire crimping methods.
