Maintenance
The following inspections and maintenance tasks are recommended at least two times per year for any battery
charging system.
Check that the controller is securely mounted in a clean and dry environment.
Check that the air flow and ventilation around the controller is not blocked. Clear all dirt or fragments on the
heat sink.
Check fixings holding wiring in place.
Check all wires to make sure insulation is not damaged from, UV exposure, frictional wear,
moisture/corrosion, fatigue, insects or rats etc. Maintain or replace the wires if necessary.
Make sure all terminal connections are tight. Inspect regulator connections for loose, corroded, broken,
wires or signs of high temperatures such as discoloured or burnt areas.
Confirm that all the system components are ground connected tightly and correctly if the system is
grounded.
Check that any fuses and fuse holders are not corroded and/or lose and/or warm or hot during operation.
Replace as needed.
Fatigued, weathered, loose and/or corroded wiring or electrical connections poses a fire risk
even at low voltage. The systems wiring should be checked periodically for any wear,
cracking resulting from UV damage of insulation on wiring and corrosion of any solder or
controller connections. Any affected parts should be replaced at the first sign of damage.
Important: before carrying out any system maintenance you MUST check for any manual
updates and download the latest installation manual from
