1 Important Safety Information
Save These Instructions
This manual contains important safety, installation and operating instructions
The following symbols are used throughout this manual to indicate
potentially dangerous conditions or mark important safety instructions,
please take care when meeting these symbols.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially dangerous
condition. Use extreme caution when
performing this task.
CAUTION: Indicates a critical procedure for
safe and proper operation of the controller.
NOTE: Indicates a procedure or function that
is important for the safe and proper operation
of the controller.
General Safety Information
•Read all of the instructions and cautions in the manual before beginning
installation.
•There are no user serviceable parts inside the controller. Do not
disassemble or attempt to repair it.
•Install external fuses/breakers as required.
•Disconnect the solar module and fuse/breakers near to battery before
installing or adjusting the controller.
•Confirm that power connections are tightened to avoid excessive heating
from loose connection.

2 General Information
2.1 Product Overview
Thank you for selecting Land Star series waterproof
solar light controller
that adopts the most advanced digital technique and operates fully
automatically. The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) battery charging can
greatly increase the lifetime of battery. It has various unique functions and
quite easy to use, such as:
•12/24V automatic recognition
•High efficient Series PWM charging, increase the battery lifetime and
improve the solar system performance.
•Use MOSFET as electronic switch, without any mechanical switch
•Widely used, automatically recognize day/night.
•Digital LED menu, only one key solve all setting simply
•Intelligent timer function with 1-15 hours option
•Unique dual timer function, enhance the flexibility of street light system.
•Waterproof design, suitable for the extreme environment with corrosion,
dust, water etc.
•Gel, Sealed and Flooded battery type option.
•Adopt temperature compensation, correct the charging and discharging
parameters automatically and improve the battery lifetime.
•Electronic protection: Overheating, over charging, over discharging,
overload, and short circuit.
•Reverse protection: any combination of solar module and battery.
The controller is for off-grid solar system, especially in solar street light
system, and protects the battery from being over charged by the solar module
and over discharged by the loads. The charging process has been optimized
for long battery life and improved system performance. The comprehensive
self-diagnostics and electronic protection functions can prevent damage from
installation mistakes or system faults.
Though the controller is easy to operate and use, please take your time to
read this manual and become familiar with it. This will help you make full
use of all the functions and improve your solar PV system.

3 Installation Instructions
3.1 General Installation Notes
•Read through the entire installation section first before beginning
installation.
•Be very careful when working with batteries. Wear eye protection. Have
fresh water available to wash and clean any contact with battery acid.
•Uses insulated tools and avoid placing metal objects near the batteries.
•Explosive battery gasses may be present during charging. Be certain there
is sufficient ventilation to release the gasses.
•Avoid direct sunlight for outdoor use.
•Loose power connections and/or corroded wires may result in resistive
connections that melt wire insulation, burn surrounding materials, or even
cause fire. Ensure tight connections and use cable clamps to secure cables
and prevent them from swaying in mobile applications.
•Use with Gel, Sealed or Flooded batteries only.
•Battery connection may be wired to one battery or a bank of batteries. The
following instructions refer to a singular battery, but it is implied that the
battery connection can be made to either one battery or a group of
batteries in a battery bank.
•Select the system cables according to 3.5A/mm

3.2 Mounting
NOTE: When mounting the controller, ensure free air
through the controller heat sink fins. There should be at
least 6 inches (150 mm) of clearance above and below the
controller to allow for cooling. If mounted in an
enclosure, ventilation is highly recommended.

5
WARNING: Risk of explosion! Never install the
controller in a sealed enclose with flooded batteries! Do
not install in a confined area where battery gassed can
accumulate.
Step 1: Choose Mounting Location
Locate the controller on a vertical surface protected from direct sun, high
temperature. And make sure good ventilation.
Step 2: Check for clearance
Place the controller in the location where it will be mounted. Verify that
there is sufficient room to run wires and that there is sufficient room above
and below the controller for air flow.
Figure 3-1 Mounting and cooling
Step 3: Mark Holes
Use a pencil or pen to mark the four (4) mounting hole locations on the
mounting surface.
Step 4: Drill Holes
Remove the controller and drill 4mm holes in the marked locations.
Step 5: Secure Controller
Place the controller on the surface and align the mounting holes with the
drilled holes in step 4.
Secure the controller in place using the mounting screws.

3.3 Wiring
NOTE: A recommended connection order has been
provided for maximum safety during installation.
NOTE: The controller is a common positive ground
controller.
CAUTION: Don’t connect the loads with surge power
exceeding the ratings of the controller.
CAUTION: For mobile applications, be sure to secure
all wiring. Use cable clamps to prevent cables from
swaying when the vehicle is in motion. Unsecured
cables create loose and resistive connections which may
lead to excessive heating and/or fire.
Step1: Battery Wiring
WARNING: Risk of explosion or fire! Never short
circuit battery positive (+) and negative (-) or cables

Before battery is connected, make sure that battery voltage is greater than 6V
so as to start up the controller. If system is 24V, make sure battery voltage is
not less than 18V. System voltage can only be automatically recognized
when controller start up for the first time.
When install fuse, make sure that the biggest distance between the fuse
holder and the positive terminal of battery is 150mm. Do not insert a fuse at
this time. Confirm the connection correct and turn on the power.
Step 2: Load Wiring
The controller loads can be connected to such electrical equipments as lights,
pumps, motors and others. Controller offers power to loads through the
battery voltage.
Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) of loads to controller load terminals
as shown in Figure 3-3. The load terminal may exist voltage, connect
carefully to avoid short circuit.
An in-line fuse holder should be wired in series in the load positive (+) or
negative (-) wire as show in Figure 3-3. Do not insert a fuse at this time.
Confirm the connection correct and turn on the power.
If wiring the load connection to a load distribution panel, each load circuit
should be fused separately. The total load draw should not exceed the load
rated current of controller.
