2. Informació de seguretat
- Ensure all connections are correct and secure before operation. Incorrect wiring can damage the controller and connected devices.
- Always connect the battery to the charge controller FIRST, then the solar panel, and finally the load. When disconnecting, reverse this order: disconnect the solar panel, then the load, then the battery.
- This controller is designed for 12V/24V lead-acid batteries (OPEN, AGM, GEL). It is NOT suitable for Ni-MH, Lithium, or other battery types unless explicitly stated in the settings.
- Install the controller in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials and moisture.
- Avoid short circuits. Ensure all wires are properly insulated and terminals are tightened.
- No intenteu desmuntar ni reparar el controlador vosaltres mateixos. Poseu-vos en contacte amb personal qualificat per al servei tècnic.

- Àrea de visualització digital: Shows various parameters like voltage, current, and settings.
- Voltage Símbol: Indica voltage lectures.
- RRHH: Timer setting for load control.
- Panells: Indicates solar panel activity.
- Five Battery Level Indicator: Mostra el nivell de càrrega actual de la bateria.
- Load Identification: Indicates if a load is connected and active.
- Charging Logo: Continuous lighting for direct charging/charging, slow flashing for floating loading.
- Output Identification: Indicates load output status.
6.2. Funcions del botó
- Botó MENÚ: Press to browse different interfaces. Press and hold for five seconds to enter or exit parameter settings.
- Botó amunt: Press to increase the value during parameter settings.
- DOWN/HM Button: Press to decrease the value during parameter settings.
6.3. Configuració dels paràmetres
To configure parameters, navigate through the display interfaces using the MENU button. When on the desired parameter screen (e.g., battery type, float voltage), press and hold the MENU button for five seconds to enter the setting mode. The number will flash, allowing adjustment with the UP and DOWN buttons. Press and hold MENU again for five seconds to save and exit.
