I can't find these settings for my charge controller for a 24 volt lead acid system. 
1) "low volt disconnect" or "load off" 
2) "load on" power back on to the system
I have the PV OFF set to 28.8v. 
HELP...thanks

    Some won't have a load connection, many others will be 'pre-set'. If you post a model number we might be able to help you  find a manual.  

    FWIW - don't hook up an inverter to the 'load' connection.
    Home system 4000 watt (Evergreen) array standing, with 2 Midnite Classic Lites,  Midnite E-panel, Magnum MS4024, Prosine 1800(now backup) and Exeltech 1100(former backup...lol), 660 ah 24v Forklift battery(now 10 years old). Off grid for 20 years (if I include 8 months on a bicycle).
    - Assorted other systems, pieces and to many panels in the closet to not do more projects.

    Sorry, there is no inverter. Batteries and 20 amp solar panel to charge controller. Charge controller to gate operator "load" The system works on a fully charged battery, but after it depletes it will not charge back up. I have to remove the batteries and manually charge them.

    is the solar panel in spot where it can get direct sun?
