5. Instruccions de funcionament
The EPEVER VS6048AU controller features an intuitive LCD display and button interface for monitoring and configuration.
LCD Display Navigation:
When no operation is performed, the LCD interface will automatically cycle through various display screens, showing real-time data such as PV voltage, current, battery voltage, and load status.
Image 5.1: Illustration of the automatic cycling interfaces on the VS6048AU LCD display.
- Premeu el botó MENÚ button to manually cycle through the display interfaces.
- Manteniu premut el botó MENÚ button to enter or exit the parameter setting mode.
- In parameter setting mode, use the SET button to adjust values or confirm selections.
Operacions especials:
- Accumulative Power Clearing: Under the PV power interface, press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds until the value blinks, then press SET again to clear the accumulative power value.
- Configuració de la unitat de temperatura: Under the battery temperature interface, press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
Modes de càrrega:
El controlador utilitza un sistema de 3 segonstage intelligent PWM charging algorithm:
- Càrrega massiva: The battery is charged at maximum current until its voltage arriba al Boost voltage.
- Boost/Equalize Charging: The battery is charged at a constant voltage. An Equalize charge is typically performed once a month to balance battery cells.
- Càrrega flotant: La bateria voltage is maintained at the Float voltage, and the charging current is reduced to a trickle to keep the battery fully charged.
