Pokyny pro zapojení
Follow these steps for safe and correct wiring. Always connect the battery first, then the solar panel, and finally the load. Disconnect in reverse order.
- Připravte dráty: Ensure all wires are cut to the appropriate length and stripped correctly. The Rover 40A can accept up to 8AWG wires.
- Připojte baterii:
Loosen the screws above the battery terminals (marked with '+' and '-') to make the socket/hatch descend. Insert the positive battery wire into the '+' terminal and the negative battery wire into the '-' terminal. Tighten the screws to secure the connection. Ensure a firm connection to prevent loose contacts.

- Připojte solární panel:
Similarly, loosen the screws above the solar panel terminals (marked with '+' and '-') and insert the positive solar panel wire into the '+' terminal and the negative into the '-' terminal. Tighten the screws securely.
- Připojení zátěže (volitelné):
If connecting a DC load directly to the controller, loosen the screws above the load terminals and insert the positive and negative load wires. Tighten the screws. The controller offers 5 load modes for management.
- Připojení teplotního senzoru:
Plug the temperature sensor into its dedicated port on the controller. Place the sensor near the battery to ensure accurate temperature compensation during charging.
- Connect Bluetooth Module:
Plug the BT-2 (or BT-1) Bluetooth module into the RJ45 communication port. This enables wireless monitoring and parameter adjustment via the Renogy DC Home App.
Important: Do not insert wires into the space below the socket/hatch, as this can damage terminals due to loose connections.
