[QUOTE="user 7268, post: 300638, member: 7268"] Condor just another question if you could ? Are most monitors compatible with the controllers ? Ie won't trick controller in any way as for example if you leave a solar volt reg before the controller can and will ? In saying that have noted that all earths for components etc must run via the shunt or body earth and not be connected directly to aux batt earth. Obviously if they were the monitor couldn't see them or the load one would presume? :) Also do you run your monitor full time as have seen many are wired up to operate only once vehicle is started ? No more probs so far with faulting and on reading more it does state on controller to connect the Aux battery to controller [u]before[/u] connecting the solar panels to the controller, so I can only presume the make and break of the input / connection to Aux battery is what may well have tripped the solar panel input over voltage fault at this stage. ;) [/QUOTE]
