Installation

Recommended tools to have before installation:

WARNING: Connect battery terminal wires to the charge controller FIRST then connect the solar panel(s) to the charge controller. NEVER connect solar panel to charge controller before the battery.

WARNING: Do NOT connect any inverters or battery chargers into the LOAD TERMINAL of the charge controller.

CAUTION: Do not over tighten the screw terminals. This could potentially break the piece that holds the wire to the charge controller.

CAUTION: Refer to the technical specifications for max wire sizes on the controller and for the maximum amperage going through wires.

You are now ready to begin connecting your battery to your charge controller.

Battery

Load (optional)

Solar Panels

Bluetooth Module communication (optional)

Temperature Sensor (optional, not polarity sensitive)

3. Place the sensor close to the battery

NOTE: Do NOT place the Temperature Sensor lug inside the battery cell.

Mounting Recommendations

WARNING: Never install the controller in a sealed enclosure with flooded batteries. Gas can accumulate and there is a risk of explosion.

1. Choose Mounting Location—place the controller on a vertical surface protected from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and water. Make sure there is good ventilation.
2. Check for Clearance—verify that there is sufficient room to run wires, as well as clearance above and below the controller for ventilation. The clearance should be at least 6 inches (150mm).
3. Mark Holes
4. Drill Holes
5. Secure the charge controller.

Mounting Methods

The controller can be mounted using the existing mounting holes or using the included mounting brackets.

Using Mounting Hole

Step 1. Measure the distance between each mounting hole on the Rover. Using that distance drill 4 screws onto desired surface.

Step 2. Align the Rovers mounting holes with the screws

Step 3. Verify all screw heads are inside the mounting holes. Release controller and check if mounting feels secure.

Using Mounting Brackets

Step 1. Install the brackets using the provided components

Step 2. Align the mounting brackets to desired surface and use the appropriate screws to drill into surface (screws not included)

Step 3. Verify mounting is secure

Operation

Rover PG is very simple to use. Simply connect the batteries, and the controller will automatically determine the battery voltage. The controller comes equipped with an LCD screen and 4 buttons to maneuver though the menus.

Startup Interface

Main Display

NOTE: The Battery Capacity (SOC%) is estimated based on the charging voltage.

Programming Parameters

To enter the programming interface simply press and hold the right arrow button. After entering this feature press the Enter/Right button to switch between parameters. To change the parameters, press the Up or Down button. To save the parameter press and hold the Enter/Right button.

The charging parameter setting (Equalizing voltage, Boost voltage, Floating charging voltage, over-discharge return voltage, Over-discharge voltage) are only available under the battery “USER” mode. Press and hold the right arrow to enter the programming settings and continue pressing the right arrow button until you see the desired voltage screen.

NOTE: Battery charging parameters can also be programmed using the Renogy BT APP. Read the corresponding user manuals for more information.

Programming Load Terminal

1. This screen is displaying the current Load Mode.
2. To enter screen 2 press and hold the Enter button. This screen will allow you to change the load mode.
3. To change the load mode press the up or down button.
4. Once you have selected the desired load mode press the Enter button to save the setting.
5. To exit the programming setting press the left button.

Maintenance

WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock! Make sure that all power is turned off before touching the terminals on the charge controller.

For best controller performance, it is recommended that these tasks be performed from time to time.

1. Check that controller is mounted in a clean, dry, and ventilated area.
2. Check wiring going into the charge controller and make sure there is no wire damage or wear.
3. Tighten all terminals and inspect any loose, broken, or burnt up connections.
4. Make sure LED readings are consistent. Take necessary corrective action.
5. Check to make sure none of the terminals have any corrosion, insulation damage, high temperature, or any burnt/discoloration marks.
