4.1. Wiring Connection Diagram

Obrázek 4: Schéma zapojení zapojení

1. Montáž: Mount the controller vertically on a flat, non-flammable surface, ensuring adequate ventilation around the unit. Use the provided hang brackets.
2. Připojení baterie: Connect the battery to the controller's battery terminals first. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The controller will automatically detect the battery voltage.
3. Připojení solárního panelu: Connect the solar panels to the controller's solar panel terminals. Ensure correct polarity. The controller supports up to 150V PV input.
4. Připojení stejnosměrné zátěže (volitelné): Connect your DC loads to the DC load terminals. This output is controlled by the controller and can be programmed for various operating modes.
5. Teplotní senzor: Connect the external temperature sensor to the designated port (8). This ensures accurate temperature compensation for battery charging.
6. RS485 Komunikace: If using remote monitoring, connect the RS485 communication cable to the port (12).

Wiring Order is Crucial: Always connect the battery first, then solar panels, then DC load. Disconnect in reverse order.

5. Návod k obsluze

The LCD display provides real-time system information, and the four buttons (Menu, Down, Up, Enter) allow for navigation and parameter adjustment.

5.1. Navigace displeje

Stiskněte tlačítko MENU button to cycle through different display screens showing various system parameters such as PV voltage, nabíjecí proud, objem baterietage, daily and total energy generated, and load status.

5.2. Nastavení parametrů

Pro vstup do režimu nastavení parametrů stiskněte a podržte tlačítko ENTER tlačítko na několik sekund. Použijte UP a DOLŮ buttons to navigate through the settings, and ENTER to select or confirm changes. The default password for accessing settings is usually a sequence of arrow presses (e.g., Down, Down, Down, Up, Up, Up), refer to the specific manual for the exact sequence.

• Nastavení typu baterie: Select the appropriate battery type (Sealed, Gel, Flooded, Lithium, or User-defined) to ensure optimal charging algorithms.
• Charge Voltage Nastavení: Adjust parameters like Floating Charge Voltage, Equalization Charge Voltage, and Over-discharge Protection Voltage based on your battery manufacturer's recommendations, especially for user-defined battery types.
• Režim ovládání zatížení: Configure the DC load output to operate in various modes (e.g., always on, light control, timer control).
