5.5 Grounding
Be aware that the negative terminals of controller are interconnected and therefore bear the same
electrical potential. If any grounding is required, always do this on the negative wires/terminals.
CAUTION: For common-negative system, such as motorhome, it is recommended to use a
common-negative controller; but if in a common-negative system, some common-positive
equipment is used, and the positive pole is grounded, the controller may get damaged.

5.4 Wiring Specifications
Wiring and installation methods must comply with national and local electrical code/specifications.
The wiring specifications of the PV-system battery must be selected according to rated currents. Please check
