The value displayed in this interface is the value at which the charge controller will stop charging the battery.
When the battery voltage reaches this voltage, the controller will disconnect the charging solar panel(s) to

value, the controller will reconnect the charging solar panel(s).

to adjust the parameter. After the value has been set, press the ‘MODE’ button for over 5 seconds to exit the
adjustable mode and store the setting.

The P30L charge controller has a mode setting function to set specific operation parameters. It is preset to

times, and the PV panel will charge the battery when sunlight is available. It is also possible to have the load
remain on for a set duration, and when that set time period has elapsed, the load will switch off. The duration
setting is available in increments of 1 hour and 1-23 hour delays can be selected.
NOTE: To change the Load Control value, press the ‘MODE’ button for over 5 seconds until the number
starts to blink / flicker. The controller will enter the adjustable mode, where you can use the ‘UP’ and ‘DOWN’
