Includes:

8 Amp Charge Controller

To Install:

Mounting:

Consider the location – ideally placed within 2 ‐5 feet of battery,

in a well protected dry place, free from moisture and weather.

This product is designed to be flush mounted or wall mounted.

Connection:

Step 1: connect the charge controller tothe battery

Using “to Battery” wire, connect thebattery clamp adapters to

the charge controller. (J‐Plug to J‐Plug shown Fig. 1). Next,

Connect red positive(+) battery clamp to the positive(+) battery

terminal. Then connect the negative(‐) battery clamp to the

negative (‐) battery terminal.

Step 2: connect the charge controller tothe solar panel

Using “to Solar Panel” wire on the charge controller. Connect JPlug

to the solar panel J‐ Plug. (J‐Plug to J‐Plug shown Fig. 1).

WARNING: Connections must be placed in orderand ensure

that the positive (+) matches the positive(+)and the negative

(‐) matches the negative (‐). (Connectionsare in Parallel)

Wrong connections may cause damage to partsor all of the

system.

Confirm that connections are tight and secure.

Connecting Multiple Solar Panels?

Contact Nature Power for 3 ‐in‐1 J‐Plug connection wire, or

more information on connecting multiple solar panels.

Product Description:

Any solar panel that is rated 12 watts or higher requires the use

of a charge controller. Nature Power Solar panels and charge

controllers come equipped with easy j‐plug adapters. The 8

Amp Charge controller is designed to protect your 12 Volt

batteries from being overcharge by high voltage surges and

prevents discharging of the battery overnight. LED lights display

battery “Charged” or battery “Charging”. Never deeply

discharge your battery; never let your battery voltage pass

below 11.0 volts. It will cause permanent damage to the

battery. Use a DMM (Digital Multi‐Meter) to measure your

battery’s voltage. When connecting and during operation it is

normal for both lights to flicker for a short time.

IMPORTANT:

Observe manufacturer’s safety procedures when

working around batteries and other electrical

equipment

Always connect charge controller to the battery first

and remove last.

This product is designed to be used on 12 volt

configurations in parallel, (optional 6 volt in series)

This product is designed to receive charges from 12

Volt Solar Panels

This product should be placed in a well ventilated dry

area, free from flammable gases, weather, and moister

Charge controller is NOT weatherproof

Charge controller should not be installed further than 2

to 5 ft. wayfrom the battery. Solar Panel length must

not reach further than 20 ftway from battery or loss of

current may occur.

LED light indicates a full battery charge “green” at 14.2

Volts, at this time the charge controller will cut out to

prevent overcharging

LED light indicates battery charging “yellow” when

battery reaches below 13 Volts, charge controller will

cut in and allow solar panel to being charging

Charge controller can handle up to 130 Watts of solar

power
