1.3. Scope of Application
This manual describes the function and installation of a regulator for photo-
voltaic (PV) systems for charging 1 V or 4 V lead batteries for recreational, 
residential, business, commercial areas and small businesses.
The charge regulator is only suitable for regulating photovoltaic solar mo-
dules. Never connect another charging source to the charge regulator. This 
can destroy the regulator and / or source. Consult your specialized dealer or 
installer if other charging sources should be used and observe the ”5.1. SOC 
Calculation” item in this manual.
The regulator is only suitable for the following chargeable 1 V or 4 V 
battery types:
- Lead storage batteries with liquid electrolytes
- Sealed lead storage batteries; AGM, GEL
The respective battery type must be set on the regulator, see ”6.3. Battery 
Type Gel / Li”.
Observe the manufacturer’s instructions before connecting the battery.
Important! The regulator is not suited for nickel cadmium,
nickel metal hydride, lithium ions or other rechargeable or
non-rechargeable batteries. Such batteries may not be con-
nected to the regulator. Observe the respective battery’s safety
instructions.
The corresponding manufacture’s installation manual must be 
observed when installing the remaining components, e.g. solar 
module, battery or consumer.
The regulator is not for outdoor use. The regulator must be in-
stalled so that it is protected against exposure to the elements,
such as rain and direct sunlight. Vents may not be covered. Do
not expose the battery regulator to rain.
The regulator may only be used for the particular solar applica-
tions provided. Also, observe that the permitted, model-speci-
