1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Thank you for purchasing a TBS Electronics (TBS) Omnicharge Solar MPPT Solar Charge Controller
(hereinafter referred to as 'product' or ‘solar charger’). Please read this installation manual for
information about installing the product correctly and safely. Keep this installation manual and all
other included documentation close to the product for future reference. For the most recent manual
revision, please check the downloads section of our website.
The installation instructions are intended for installers that should have knowledge and experience
in installing electrical equipment, knowledge of the applicable installation codes, and awareness of
the hazards involved in performing electrical work and how to reduce those hazards.
This chapter contains important safety information for this product. READ ALL instructions and
cautionary markings on or provided with this product, and all appropriate sections of this guide. This
product contains no user serviceable parts. Opening up the product will void product warranty.
GENERAL WARNINGS
•Do not cover or obstruct any air vent openings and/or install in a zero clearance
compartment. Ensure that there is always sufficient free space around the product
for ventilation.
•Shock hazard! Solar panel arrays may generate dangerously high open circuit
voltages.
•Avoid moisture ingress. Never expose the unit to snow, water, etc.
•Explosion hazard! Do not use this product in the vicinity of flammable fumes or
gases.
•After unpacking, check if the product shows any mechanical damage. Never use
the product when the enclosure shows any visual damage caused by harsh
handling, or when it has been dropped accidentally. Contact your local supplier for
further information.
•Do not mount this product in a publicly accessible area. Keep away from children!
•When installing or servicing this product, always make sure that the solar panel
input is de-energized by either opening the advised double pole circuit breaker in
the PV line or by protecting the solar panels from light by covering these.
•Never touch uninsulated wire ends and always use insulated tools during
installation and servicing of this product.
•Please use this product for the designated application only

BATTERY WARNINGS
•When working with electrical equipment or lead acid batteries, have someone
nearby in case of an emergency.
•Study and follow all the battery manufacturer’s specific precautions when
installing, using and servicing the battery connected to the charger.
•Wear eye protection and gloves.
•Avoid touching your eyes while using this unit.
•Keep fresh water and soap on hand in the event battery acid comes in contact with
eyes. If this occurs, clean right away with soap and water for a minimum of 15
minutes and seek medical attention.
•Batteries can produce explosive gases. DO NOT smoke or have an open spark or
fire near the system.
•Never attempt to re-charge a damaged, frozen or non-rechargeable battery.
•Avoid dropping any metal tool or object on the battery. Doing so could create a
spark or short circuit which goes through the battery or another electrical tool that
may create an explosion.
!
CAUTION
LIMITATIONS OF USE
Do not use in connection with life support systems or other medical equipment or devices.
This battery charger is not to be used by persons with reduced physical or mental
capabilities or lack of knowledge and experience. Not to be operated or used by children.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Installation precautions
WARNING
•The PV (solar panel) input of this product is not isolated from the battery output.
Therefore the PV-, battery- and control circuits are considered hazardous and
should not be user accessible.
•Keep at least 15cm of clear space available above and below the product
•Always protect the PV and battery connections against inadvertent contact. Install
the product in a well ventilated enclosure or provide other means of protection.
•Always use flexible multistranded copper cables for the PV and battery
connections. Using cables with a too low strand count will result in a higher contact
resistance which eventually may result in fire hazards.
•Always provide a means of strain relief for all connected cables, in order to limit
the amount of mechanical stress to the connections
•Make sure that the ambient temperature is between -35°C and +60°C. Above
+45°C the solar charger will automatically derate the output power. Do not expose
the charger to any heat source (such as direct sunlight or heating). Also avoid
charger exposure to excessive vibrations.
2.2 Mounting
Please see the image below for the basic mounting instructions:
Always mount the Solar charger in the
orientation as shown on the left
(connections pointing downwards). When
mounted otherwise, proper functionality
and safety cannot be guaranteed.

2.3 Wiring details
WARNING
•For user safety during installation, please make sure that the output of the supplying
PV source is switched off (open circuit breaker in the PV supply lines or protect the
solar panels from light by covering these). Also remove the fuse from the output
battery positive line.
•The wiring example in this chapter is primarily intended as a functional one. Always
check your local regulations, codes and requirements for installing a solar charger.
•Make sure that all PV and battery screw terminal connections are strongly tightened
(2 –2.5Nm)
•For detailed PV and solar charger grounding schemes and ground fault detection
implementation, please follow your local electrical regulations.
!
CAUTION
•To avoid solar charger damage, please check if the maximum open circuit voltage
(Voc) of a series string of PV panels, does not exceed the maximum input voltage of
the solar charger. Please take into account that Voc increases as the temperature
decreases. Typically, Voc is 10% higher at 0°C compared to the often rated 25°C
value. It can even rise to +25% at extremely low temperatures down to -40°C.
•Please double check if the battery voltage matches the specifications of the used
charger model
•Please double check the polarity of the PV source as well as the battery. Long term
reverse connection of the battery, may damage the solar charger.
•Ground the frames and mounting racks of your PV panels to reduce the chance of
lightning damage. Do not connect the positive or negative PV wires to ground.
The image below shows a general wiring example of the solar charger. The main PV and battery
connections are indicated by a number (1 to 4). It is very important to exactly follow this wiring order
to avoid solar charger and/or battery damage. The wiring order is:
1. Battery positive cable
2. Battery negative cable
Then wait 3 seconds for proper automatic battery voltage detection (see chapter 3.1)
3. PV positive cable1)
4. PV negative cable1)
1) When a double pole switch is installed in the PV lines, both positive and negative cables are of
course allowed to be switched on simultaneously.

Notes:
•The solar charger can be installed in a positive or in a negative grounded system. In a vehicle
for example, always apply a short single ground connection, ideally close to the battery, to
avoid ground loops that could cause system instabilities.
•Please check the table below for maximum PV and battery current levels plus advised
minimum cable sizes:

•When the battery temperature sensor is connected to the solar charger to enable
temperature compensated charging, please make sure that this sensor is located as close as
possible to the battery. When no temperature sensor is connected to the solar charger,
charge voltages will not be compensated against varying temperature.
