2. Informació de seguretat

Please read all instructions carefully before installation and operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the unit, battery, or other components, and may cause personal injury.

• Ensure all connections are tight and correct to prevent excessive voltage drop and potential overheating.
• Connecteu sempre primer la bateria al controlador, després el panell solar i finalment la càrrega. Desconnecteu-ho en ordre invers.
• Do not attempt to repair or modify the controller. Refer to qualified personnel for service.
• Instal·leu el controlador en una zona ben ventilada, allunyada de materials inflamables i de la llum solar directa.
• The controller is rated IP32, meaning it is protected from tools and wires greater than 2.5 millimeters and from spraying water. It is not waterproof and should not be exposed to heavy rain or submerged.

5. Configuració

Follow these steps for proper installation of your solar charge controller. Incorrect wiring can damage the controller and other components.

5.1. Mètode de connexió

1. Connecteu la bateria: Connect the battery to the controller's battery terminals (marked with a battery symbol). Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The controller will automatically detect the battery voltage (12V o 24V).
2. Connecteu el panell solar: Connect the solar panel to the controller's solar panel terminals (marked with a solar panel symbol). Ensure correct polarity.
3. Connect the Load: Connect your DC loads to the controller's load terminals (marked with a light bulb symbol). Ensure correct polarity.

Important: Always connect the battery first and disconnect the load first, then the solar panel, and finally the battery when disassembling the system.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

The controller features an LCD display and control buttons for monitoring and adjusting settings.

6.1. Pantalla LCD

La pantalla LCD proporciona informació en temps real sobre el vostre sistema solar, com ara:

• Panell solar voltage i estat de càrrega.
• Bateria voltage i nivell de càrrega.
• Load status (on/off) and current.
• Sistema voltage (12V o 24V).

6.2. Ajust Voltage Configuració

The controller allows for manual adjustment of certain voltage parameters, such as the over-discharge recovery voltage. If you encounter issues or need to fine-tune your system, you can adjust the voltage:

1. Press and hold the MCU control button (usually the 'Menu' or 'Set' button) for approximately 3-4 seconds. This will bring up a management interface on the display.
2. Use the 'Add' button (or 'Up' arrow) to navigate through the settings and increase the voltage value until it reaches your desired setting, for example, 13.7V for battery recovery.
3. Press the MCU control button again to save the new setting. The display will stop flashing, indicating the data has been saved.

6.3. USB Output Usage

The dual USB ports can be used to charge various 5V devices, such as mobile phones, driving recorders, and cameras.

7. Manteniment

Un manteniment regular garanteix un rendiment òptim i una llarga vida útil del controlador de càrrega solar.

• Neteja: Periodically clean the controller's exterior with a dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Ensure the display remains clear.
• Comprovació de la connexió: Annually inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can cause overheating and damage.
• Ventilació: Ensure the installation area remains well-ventilated to prevent overheating of the controller.

8. Solució De Problemes

Aquesta secció tracta problemes comuns i les seves solucions.

8.1. No Output from Load Terminals

• Símptoma: The load connected to the controller is not receiving power.
• Possible causa: Bateria voltage is too low. The controller automatically stops output when battery voltage drops below a certain threshold (e.g., 10.5V-11V for a 12V system) to protect the battery from over-discharge.
• Solució: Allow the solar panel to charge the battery. The controller will resume load output once the battery voltage recovers to 12.6V (for a 12V system).

8.2. Vol. incorrectetage Readings or Charging Behavior

• Símptoma: The display shows unexpected voltage values, or charging seems inefficient.
• Possible causa: Voltage settings may be misconfigured or require adjustment. The normal operating voltage range for the controller is typically 10.7V to 13.7V (for a 12V system).
• Solució: Refer to Section 6.2 "Adjusting Voltage Settings" to manually adjust the voltage parameters, such as setting the recovery voltage to 13.7V if needed.
