4. Installation och installation
Följ dessa steg för korrekt installation:
- Montering: Choose a suitable location for mounting the controller. Ensure good ventilation and protection from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Batterianslutning: Connect the battery to the controller's battery terminals first. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The controller will automatically detect the battery voltage (12V eller 24V).
- Anslutning av solpaneler: Connect the solar panel array to the controller's solar input terminals. Observe correct polarity. Ensure the open-circuit voltage of the solar array does not exceed the controller's maximum input voltage (110V at 25°C).
- Lastanslutning (valfritt): If using the load output, connect your DC loads to the controller's load terminals. Do not exceed the rated load current (20A Max).
- Temperatursensor: Connect the included battery temperature probe cable to the designated port on the controller. Place the sensor near the battery for accurate temperature compensation.
- Ström på: Once all connections are secure, the controller will power on and begin operation.
5. Bruksanvisning
The integral LCD display provides real-time information about your solar charging system. Use the buttons (if present, assuming standard UP/DOWN/SET) to navigate through the display menus and adjust settings.

7. Felsökning
| Problem | Möjlig orsak | Lösning |
|---|---|---|
| Ingen display/Ingen ström | Loose battery connection; Battery voltage too low; Blown fuse (external, if applicable). | Kontrollera batterianslutningar och polaritet. Ladda batteriet om det är vol.tage is below operating threshold. Check and replace any external fuses. |
| Ingen solcellsladdning | Solar panel not connected; Incorrect polarity; Insufficient sunlight; Damaged solar panel/wiring. | Verify solar panel connections and polarity. Ensure panels are receiving adequate sunlight. Inspect panels and wiring for damage. |
| Lasten fungerar inte | Load disconnected; Overload; Short circuit; Battery voltage för lågt. | Check load connections. Reduce load if exceeding 20A. Check for short circuits. Ensure battery is sufficiently charged. |
| Felaktiga avläsningar | Loose connections; Faulty sensor. | Check all wiring connections. Ensure temperature sensor is properly connected and placed. |
