STEP 6: Solar Connections - see diagram below
WARNING: Shock Hazard
The solar PV array can produce open-circuit voltages
in excess of 120 Vdc when in sunlight. Verify that the
solar input breaker or disconnect has been opened
(disconnected) before installing the system wires.
AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de décharge électrique
Le réseau PV solaire peut produire des tensions de
circuit ouvert supérieures à 120 Vdc à la lumière du
soleil. Vérifiez que le coupe-circuit ou l’interrupteur
d’entrée solaire a été ouvert (déconnexion) avant
d’installer les câbles du système.
With the solar disconnect open, connect the solar (PV) array
wires to the PS-MPPT solar terminals. Use caution, since
the solar array will produce current whenever in sunlight. A
solar dis-connnect is a convenient way to break the PV con-
nection when necessary. DO NOT CLOSE THE BREAKER
AT THIS TIME.

STEP 7: Load Connections - see diagram below
Turn the loads off, and connect the load wires to the load
terminals. DO NOT CLOSE THE BREAKER AT THIS TIME.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Do not wire any AC inverter or other inductive load such
as a motor, pump, compressor or generator to the load terminals
of the ProStar MPPT. Damage to the load control circuit may
result. Wire inductive loads directly to the battery or battery bank.
ATTENTION: Dommages matériels
Ne pas raccorder un inverseur ou autre charge inductive
comme le moteur, pompe, compresseur ou générateur aux bornes
de la ProStar MPPT. Pourrait endommager le circuit de commande
de charge. Fil de charges inductives directement sur la batterie ou
la batterie.
STEP 8: Power-Up and Verify System Operation
NOTE: Carefully observe the LEDs after each connection.
The LEDs will indicate proper polarity and a good
connection.
Close the battery breaker to power on the controller. Watch
the the charging status, and then the three battery state-
of-charge (SOC) LEDs blink in sequence (G-Y-R), confirm-
ing proper start-up. If they do not light, check the battery
polarity (+/–) and battery voltage.
