Have PWM30CC charging 2 GC2 6v hooked in series for 12v. 2 x 100 w panels. Load is 2 x 12v fans drawing 12.7 A each. Can I run this load from the controller load terminals pr should I run the fans directly from the batteries? Thanks.

Hello JP,
I would recommend you connect these fans directly to your batteries.
O.C

Also, green LED indicates system charging, but second LED (left to right) is red. My manual indicates over drawn battery but the download pdf manual says red is load cut off, orange is over drawn battery. Nothing is connected to the load pit terminals on the controller PWM30CC.  ? |

My manual indicates over drawn battery but the download pdf manual says red is load cut off, orange is over drawn battery. Nothing is connected to the load pit terminals on the controller PWM30CC. ? I'd recommend disconnecting everything from the charge controller, waiting a minute or two, and then reconnecting ONLY the batteries. Make sure that the polarity is correct. The controller needs to see the batteries first in order to configure itself for proper operation. A common mistake is to connect the solar panels first and then the batteries. If you still get that load cut off indication with only the batteries connected, then you may have a faulty charge controller or a problem with the batteries/connections. Verify that you're getting the expected voltage from the batteries to the controller. If all goes well, you should get a green indicator (either solid or blinking) from that middle light. Then you can move on to connect the solar panels to the controller. |

Hello JP,
If the middle LED light is red that will indicated the battery is not wired properly or that the battery is discharged. I would recommend disconnecting the panels then the battery from the charge controller. After disconnecting everything check the voltage of the battery if this reads below 11.7 volts that means the battery is discharged and that is the reason the LED is red.
