CSA standards, the installation should follow the requirements of the
National Electrical Code Article 501-4(b) and/or Canadian Electrical
Code Article 18-156 when installing a SunSaver in a Hazardous
(Classified) Location.
WARNING: Do not disconnect while the circuit is alive unless the
area is known to be nonhazardous.
1. Mount the SunSaver to a vertical surface. Allow space above and
below the controller for air flow.
2. Make sure the PV and load currents will not exceed the ratings of
the SunSaver model being installed.
3. The 6 system connections to the SunSaver terminals are numbered
on the label. It is recommended that the connections be made in
order from 1 to 6.
4. Connect the BATTERY first. Use care that bare wires do not
touch the metal case of the controller. The battery connection is
a required connection. The SunSaver cannot operate without a
battery attached and the battery voltage must be at least 6V.
5. Connect the SOLAR (PV array) next. The green LED indicator will
light if sunlight is present.
6. Connect the LOAD last. A load is any electronic device such as a
light or fan. The nominal voltage input of the load must be the
same as the nominal voltage of the battery.
