Maintenance Tips

• Inspect all DC and battery cable connections regularly, ensuring terminals remain clean, secure, and tightened to the recommended torque.
• Keep the controller's cooling vents free of dust and debris to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating. Install the unit indoors or inside a weatherproof enclosure.
• Turn off all PV and battery circuit breakers before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
• Periodically inspect breakers, fuses, wiring, and grounding connections for signs of corrosion, loose connections, or damage. Replace worn components immediately.
• Monitor charging performance, battery voltage, and system logs using the built-in display to identify abnormal operation early.
• Keep the enclosure dry and protect the controller from direct sunlight, moisture, and excessive dust.
• Update firmware only when recommended by MidNite Solar, following the official update procedure to maintain compatibility and performance.
• Have the system inspected periodically by a qualified solar technician to ensure safe operation and maximize battery charging efficiency
