    ICP Sunsei SE-12000 and ICP CC10000 charge controller help

    Hello. First post here. Somewhere between 5 and 10 years ago I purchased a Sunsei SE-12000 solar panel. I think I got it from Amazon and purchased the recommended charge controller as well (Sunsei CC10000). The manual was lost right out of the gate so the system has never functioned. I cannot find the manual anywhere online. Does anybody have one of these systems or familiar with them? You can see the setup and all the wires if you do a search. They show pictures on Amazon, but it's discontinued. I think I'm missing a wire. I think that the system comes with 1 wire that goes from one of the 2 male plugs on the panel into the charge controller as I only have 1 wire with a female connector at one end, and split exposed negative and positive tips at the other end (I am not electronically inclined so please excuse my ignorance in terminology). This system has these female and male plugs that seem to require a very specific wire. It's weird, for me at least.
    Looking at the charge controller, it looks like I need a wire that comes off of the solar panel (male tip) with a positive and negative exposed lead that goes into the charge controller and clamps down. Then there is a space to clamp down on a positive and negative lead that come out of the charge controller to the battery (or whatever). The system comes with multiple plugs and adapters but only one wire with exposed ends. Does anybody have the manual for this? I found an online manual for the charge controller, but that's not much help. It just says to connect the wires, but is a bit vague for an amateur such as myself.
    I have done a ton of searches online, trolled for manuals, reviews, parts and have called local marine, rv shops and stopped in at ace hardware and lowes with no luck. Any advice, manuals, diagrams, pictures or nudges regarding this system and the requirements for setup are greatly appreciated. I can take a picture of what I have and post it or send it somewhere if anybody is interested. Thanks for any help!

      Is this the one you have Byron



      The panel looks like it uses an oddball plug so if you cant find one you may have to cut it off
      and wire directly. Picture of the plugs on the panel would help and the wires that came with it

        That's the one. I found that manual online for the charge convertor, but can't find the one for the sunsei se-1200. For the life of my I just don't know if that thing came with the needed wire and I lost it, or if it just needed to be purchased separately. In looking at the online pictures of the system and what it includes, it shows only one wire that appears to connect to a charge convertor.
        Here is a link to an ebay item that shows all the wires that came with the device. Looks like only one came with it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ICP-BatteryS...item5414e9143f
        Here is a link to an Amazon item that shows all the wires as well. But this one shows 2 wires with exposed ends, making me think that I lost one. http://www.amazon.com/Sunsei-SE-1200...ct_top?ie=UTF8
        This one on ebay is a separate package with the wires. Note that it only has one lead wire: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ICP-Solar-Su...item1a03edb4a4
        Thank you very much for your help!
