5. Instal·lació i configuració
5.1 Muntatge del controlador
- Choose a dry, well-ventilated location, protected from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and water.
- Ensure there is sufficient airflow around the controller for proper cooling.
- Mount the controller vertically on a wall or suitable surface using appropriate fasteners.
5.2 Connexions de cablejat
Important: Always connect the battery first, then the solar panel, and finally the load. Disconnect in reverse order.
- Connecteu la bateria: Connect the positive and negative terminals of your battery bank to the corresponding battery terminals on the controller. Ensure correct polarity. The controller will automatically detect the battery voltage (12V/24V/36V/48V).
- Connecteu el panell solar: Connect the positive and negative terminals of your solar panel array to the corresponding PV input terminals on the controller. Ensure correct polarity. The maximum open circuit voltage (Voc) from the PV array should not exceed 160V.
- Connecteu la càrrega de CC (opcional): If using a DC load directly from the controller, connect its positive and negative terminals to the load terminals on the controller.

Pantalla LCD i botons 6.1
The LCD display provides real-time system status. Use the buttons (PV, BAT, DC, SET) to navigate through menus and adjust parameters. Refer to the detailed manual for specific button functions and menu navigation.
6.2 Carregant Stages
El controlador utilitza un sistema multi-stagAlgoritme de càrrega per optimitzar la durada i el rendiment de la bateria:
- Càrrega massiva: Carrega la bateria al corrent màxim fins al volumtage puja fins al nivell d'absorció.
- Constant Charging (Boost/Equalize): Manté un volum constanttage, allowing the current to gradually decrease. Equalization is a controlled overcharge for flooded batteries to balance cell voltages.
- Càrrega del flotador: Reduces the voltage to a lower level once the battery is fully charged, maintaining it at a safe level to prevent self-discharge.
6.3 Modes de treball de càrrega
The DC load output can be configured with different working modes:
- Load OFF: The load output is always off.
- Load Always ON: The load output is continuously on.
- Control de temps: The load output operates for a specified duration after sunset.
