Installation
Connect battery terminal wires to the charge controller FIRST then connect the
solar panel(s) to the charge controller. NEVER connect solar panel to charge
controller before the battery.
Do not over tighten the screw terminals. This could potentially break the piece
that holds the wire to the charge controller.
The Adventurer is designed for flush mounting on a wall. It consists of a face plate with
projecting terminals on the backside for connecting the battery bank, panels, and optional
sensors for accurate battery voltage sensing and battery temperature compensation. If
utilizing the wall mount, then the wall will be required to be cut to accommodate the
projecting terminals on the backside. Make sure that the pocket of the wall cut leaves
enough space to not damage the terminals when the Adventurer is being pushed back
into the cut out section of the wall.
The front of the Adventurer will serve as a heat sink, therefore it is important to ensure that
the mounting location is not near any heat generating sources and ensure that there is
proper airflow across the faceplate of the Adventurer to remove the heat dissipated from
the surface.
Refer to the technical specifications for max wire sizes on the controller and for
the maximum amperage going through wires.
Never install the controller in a sealed enclosure with flooded batteries. Gas
can accumulate and there is a risk of explosion.
Choose Mounting Location—place the controller on a vertical surface protected from
direct sunlight, high temperatures, and water. Make sure there is good ventilation.
Check for Clearance—verify that there is sufficient room to run wires, as well as
clearance above and below the controller for ventilation. The clearance should be at
least 6 inches (150mm).
Cut out Wall section—the recommended wall size to be cut should follow the inner
protruding part of the charge controller while being careful not to go past the mounting
holes. The depth should be at least 1.7 inches (43mm).
The Adventurer comes equipped with screws for wall mounting. If they are not
suitable try using Pan Head Phillips Screw 18-8 Stainless Steel M3.9 Size
25mm length screws
