3. Scope of supply

• Charge controller
• Spare fuse
• Crimp connector (2 pieces)
• Heat-shrink tubing (with adhesive, 2 pieces, each approx. 6 cm)
• TorqLink T cable

4. Installation and system connections

4.1 Installation
• Mount the charge controller securely near the batteries using suitable fixing
materials. Use the four screw holes in the flange for this.
• Mount the charge controller in a dry place out of direct sunlight.
• Do not mount near heat sources.
• When mounting, ensure that there is sufficient distance to other fixtures or equipment
to guarantee free air circulation.
• The connection cables for the battery and solar modules can be fed through the slots
provided on both sides of the housing.
• The connection cables for the battery and solar modules are not strain-relieved.
During mounting, adequate strain relief must be applied.

4.2 Electrical Installation

- The installation may only be carried out by a professionally
qualified person.
- All valid local regulations for electrical installations must be observed
during installation.
- If components other than those enclosed are used, they must be approved for this
application and for use on ships.
- Observe the solar module manufacturer's installation instructions.
- Only ONE charge controller may be connected to a solar module at a time.
- When using several solar modules in series or parallel connection to a solar charge
controller, it is essential to comply with the manufacturer's specifications regarding
the module parameters and the installation of bypass or blocking diodes.

Solar module connection
Solar modules must comply with the requirements mentioned in 2. To connect the
solar module, repeat the following steps for the plus and minus connection:
(1) Guide the enclosed heat-shrink tubing over one of the cables to be connected.
(2) Strip 6 mm (1/4") of insulation from the connection cable of the solar module
and the charge controller.
(3) Insert the stripped cable ends evenly into the crimp connector until they touch.
Make sure that the positive cables of the module and the charge controller and the
negative cables of the module and the charge controller are connected to each other.
(4). Crimp the joint connector along its entire length using suitable crimping pliers.
Make sure that the cable ends do not slip inside the crimp connector.
(5) Slide the heat-shrink tubing fully and symmetrically over the crimp connector.
Then heat the heat-shrink tubing to a temperature of 120°C.
The LED on the charge controller may flash red until it is fully connected to the Torqeedo
system.
