Charge Controller Safety
● NEVER connect the solar panel array
to the controller without connecting a
battery to the controller first.
● Ensure input voltage does not exceed 130
VDC (FSCC60PW-BL) /70VDC(FSCC30PW-
BL) to prevent permanent damage. Use
the Open Circuit (Voc) to make sure the
voltage does not exceed this value when
connecting panels together.
Battery Safety
● For use with sealed lead acid, AGM
(absorbent glass mat), and LiFePO4
batteries.
● Explosive battery gases may be released
while charging. Be certain there is
enough ventilation to release the gases.
● Use care when working with lead acid
batteries. Wear eye protection and have
fresh water available in case there is
contact with the battery acid.
● Carefully read battery manuals before
operation.
● Do NOT let the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals of the battery touch each other.
● Properly dispose of battery when
replaced.
