Nastavení a instalace
Follow these steps for proper installation of the CHLT-40PV device. Ensure all power is disconnected before beginning installation.
- Montáž: The device is designed for DIN rail mounting. Securely attach the device to a standard 35mm DIN rail within an appropriate enclosure.
- Připojení kabeláže: Connect the DC input from the photovoltaic array to the designated input terminals and the output to the protected equipment. Ensure correct polarity (+ and -) for each pole. The device is a 3-pole protector, typically used for positive, negative, and ground connections in a DC system.
- Základy: Ensure the device is properly grounded according to local electrical codes. A low-impedance ground path is critical for effective surge protection.
- Ověření: After wiring, double-check all connections for tightness and correct polarity.
- Zapnutí: Once all connections are secure and verified, restore power to the system. The visual indicator on each module should show green, indicating normal operation.
