4. Nastavení
4.1. Důležitá varování před instalací
- Always connect the battery first to the controller before connecting the solar panel array. Ensure the battery voltage is sufficient for the controller to recognize the correct system voltage.
- NEVER connect the solar panel array to the controller without a battery connected.
- DO NOT connect any Inverter, wind turbine, alternator, or external charger directly to the charge controller. Inverters should be connected directly to the battery bank.
- Ensure the solar input voltage is at least 3V higher than the battery voltage and that the total input power is within the specified range.
- Ensure all connections to and from the controller are tight to prevent loose connections and potential hazards.
- DO NOT allow the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery to touch each other.
4.2. Pokyny pro zapojení
Visual guide for connecting solar panels, battery, and DC load to the controller.
- Připojte baterii: Connect the positive and negative terminals of your battery bank to the corresponding battery terminals on the charge controller. Observe polarity.
- Připojení solárních panelů: Connect the positive and negative leads from your solar panel array to the solar panel terminals on the controller. Ensure correct polarity and that the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of your array does not exceed 150V.
- Připojení stejnosměrné zátěže (volitelné): If you have DC loads, connect their positive and negative leads to the DC load terminals on the controller.
- Připojení teplotního senzoru: Plug the included temperature sensor into the designated temperature interface. This ensures accurate battery charging based on ambient temperature.
- RS485 Communication (Optional): If using a Wi-Fi module or other communication device, connect it to the RS485 port.

Always consult the detailed parameter tables in the full product manual for specific voltage and current recommendations for your battery type.
6. Údržba
Pravidelná údržba zajišťuje dlouhou životnost a optimální výkon vašeho solárního regulátoru nabíjení.
- Čištění: Periodically clean the exterior of the controller with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Větrání: Ensure adequate airflow around the controller. Maintain a space of approximately 20cm (8 inches) around the unit for proper heat dissipation.
- Chladicí ventilátor: The controller is equipped with a cooling fan. If you hear a buzzing sound, it indicates the fan is operating to dissipate heat, which is normal. Ensure the fan is not obstructed.
- Kontroly připojení: Regularly inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to overheating and poor performance.
- Podmínky prostředí: Avoid installing the controller in direct sunlight or areas with high temperatures to prevent power loss due to overheating.
