4. Configuració i instal·lació
Seguiu aquests passos per a una instal·lació correcta:
- Muntatge: Choose a suitable location for mounting the controller. Ensure good ventilation and protection from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Connexió de la bateria: Connecteu primer la bateria als terminals de la bateria del controlador. Assegureu-vos de la polaritat correcta (+ a + i - a -). El controlador detectarà automàticament el volum de la bateria.tage (12V o 24V).
- Connexió del panell solar: Connect the solar panel array to the controller's solar input terminals. Observe correct polarity. Ensure the open-circuit voltage of the solar array does not exceed the controller's maximum input voltage (110V at 25°C).
- Connexió de càrrega (opcional): If using the load output, connect your DC loads to the controller's load terminals. Do not exceed the rated load current (20A Max).
- Sensor de temperatura: Connect the included battery temperature probe cable to the designated port on the controller. Place the sensor near the battery for accurate temperature compensation.
- Encès: Once all connections are secure, the controller will power on and begin operation.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
The integral LCD display provides real-time information about your solar charging system. Use the buttons (if present, assuming standard UP/DOWN/SET) to navigate through the display menus and adjust settings.
