solar regulator instructions (1 Viewer)

[walburga]

Anyone got instructions for this solar reg ?
Trying to rig it to control my stand alone 60 watt folding panel, but the battery voltage is going into 15v+ in bright sunlight.
The light on the left is flashing blue, middle light nothing, and on the right it's amber.
Got the reg given to me last year.....maybe that's the answer !

Regards

Allen

ps: Also, the button top right appears to be an on / off switch...tried it..nothing changes?

I would buy a new controller if I were you.

The controller is wired correctly as per photo.
The 3rd terminals are for dusk to dawn lighting, once the panel stops charging it allows a limited current to flow to a night light or porch light etc without direct battery connection...the button top right controls the light on and off at night.
4th terminals are for a low powered, usually around 2 amps max, secondary supply...12v cig socket for phone charge etc.

By your description of lights function its knackered.

I have a similar one and it's important in what order things are connected. If memory serves me right, as I can't find original instructions, you need to connect the supply from the panels last otherwise it displays a fault light.
