STEP 3: Solar Battery Charge Controller Install
The system includes an
advanced PWM charge
controller with PoE output
(SCPOE). Mount the con-
troller on the backplate
using one or two #8 x 3/8”
pan head self tapping
screws. The mounting
holes in the controller don’t
match exactly to the back-
plate holes. You can angle
the controller to align two
mounting holes. You can
also mount the controller to
the inside cover using vel-
cro tape if you need more
room on the backplate to
mount your equipment.
The controller maintains
proper charge parameters
to extend battery life and
enables the system to be
Solar Ready™. Solar panels can be added at any time to extend back-
up time or provide a backup power source to keep the batteries fully
charged.
Attach the included battery cable to the controller BAT inputs. (Red to +
and Black to –). Don’t connect wires to battery until system startup step.
Note: The battery cable is different if 12V or 24V configuration. For
12V, all batteries are wired in parallel. If 24V, each pair of batteries is
wired in series and both series pairs are wired in parallel.
The controller has an RJ45 Passive PoE Output (24V or 48V) and there
is also a green wire terminal output on the back of the controller which
will be equal to the battery voltage and is also controlled by the Low
Voltage Disconnect function of the controller. Wire Terminal output sup-
ports 1.5A max.
The kit includes two Cable Gland Feedthroughs. Remove one or two
hole plugs in the bottom of the enclosure and replace with one or two
cable gland feedthroughs to be used to route external wires.
STEP 4: Enclosure Mounting
Mount the enclosure to a pole using two stainless steel hose clamps.
Cut off any extra hose clamp length after tightening to keep a clean in-
stall. As an option, the enclosure can also mount to a wall using the
included 4 wall mount brackets and user supplied screws.
