2. Bezpečnostní informace
Důležité bezpečnostní pokyny:
- Vždy nejprve připojte baterii k regulátoru nabíjení, poté k solárnímu panelu a nakonec k zátěži. Odpojení provádějte v opačném pořadí.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent excessive voltage drop and loose connections.
- Install the controller in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable gases.
- Nerozebírejte ani se nepokoušejte o opravu ovladače sami. Pro servis se obraťte na kvalifikovaný personál.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with batteries and solar panels.
- The controller is IP68 rated for water and dust ingress, but avoid submerging it for extended periods or exposing it to high-pressure water jets.

- Připojení solárního panelu: Connect the solar panel cables to the controller's solar panel terminals. Observe correct polarity. The controller will begin charging the battery.
- Připojení zátěže (volitelné): If using the controller for a DC load (e.g., solar light), connect the load cables to the controller's load terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
- Ověřte připojení: Double-check all connections for tightness and correct polarity before powering on the system.
The controller's compact design and integrated wiring simplify installation. Its IP68 rating ensures durability in various outdoor conditions.

5. Návod k obsluze
The Phocos CIS10 operates automatically once connected. It utilizes advanced 5-stage Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) charging technology to optimize battery charging and extend battery life.
5.1. Nabíjení Stages
- Jemný začátek: Gradually increases current to the battery.
- Hromadný poplatek: Poskytuje maximální proud pro rychlé nabití baterie přibližně na 80 % kapacity.
- Absorpční poplatek: Nabíjí baterii konstantním objememtage to bring it to 100% capacity.
- Plovoucí poplatek: Udržuje baterii plně nabitou díky nízkému, konstantnímu objemutage.
- Vyrovnání: Automatically performs equalization every 28 days for calcium/EFB batteries to prevent sulfation and ensure cell balance.
5.2. Work Mode (Optional)
The CIS10 controller supports configurable work modes, such as time control and light control, which can be set using an optional external unit like the CIS-CU (sold separately). This allows for customized operation of connected loads, such as solar lights.
6. Údržba
The Phocos CIS10 is designed for minimal maintenance due to its robust IP68 rating and epoxy-encapsulated PCB. However, periodic checks are recommended:
- Vizuální kontrola: Pravidelně kontrolujte řídicí jednotku a všechna připojení, zda nevykazují známky poškození, koroze nebo uvolněného zapojení.
- Čištění: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the controller with a damp tkanina. Nepoužívejte agresivní chemikálie nebo abrazivní materiály.
- Stav baterie: Monitor your battery's performance. The controller's equalization feature helps maintain battery health for compatible types.
7. Řešení problémů
The CIS10 controller includes multiple built-in protections to prevent damage. If you encounter issues, consider the following:
- No Charging/Load Output:
- Zkontrolujte všechna zapojení kabelů, zda jsou pevná a zda je polarita správná.
- Ujistěte se, že solární panel dostává dostatečné množství slunečního světla.
- Ověřte objem baterietage is within the operating range (12V/24V).
- Check for any blown fuses in the system (if applicable).
- Ochrana proti přehřátí: If the controller becomes excessively hot, it may temporarily reduce or stop charging/output. Ensure it's not installed in an area with poor ventilation or direct, intense heat.
- Over-Voltage/Under-Voltage ochrana: The controller will protect the battery from overcharging or deep discharge. If the battery voltage is too low, the load may be disconnected.
- Short Circuit/Overload Protection: If a short circuit or overload occurs on the load or solar input, the controller will temporarily shut down to protect itself and the system. Remove the fault and the controller should resume normal operation.
If problems persist, refer to the detailed specifications or contact Phocos customer support.
