5. Настройка и установка

Follow these steps for proper installation of your charge controller:

1. Монтаж: Choose a dry, well-ventilated location for mounting the controller. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the unit for heat dissipation. Mount vertically on a non-flammable surface.
2. Последовательность проводки:
   • Connect the battery cables to the battery terminals on the charge controller. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
   • Connect the solar panel cables to the PV terminals on the charge controller. Ensure correct polarity.
   • Connect the load cables to the load terminals on the charge controller (optional). Ensure correct polarity.
3. Датчик температуры: Connect the included temperature sensor cable to the designated port on the controller. Place the sensor near the battery to enable accurate temperature compensation for charging.
4. Начальное включение: Once all connections are secure, the controller will power on and display system information on the LCD.

Важно: Во избежание повреждения контроллера всегда сначала подключайте батарею, а затем отключайте её.

6. Инструкция по эксплуатации

The LCD display and buttons allow you to monitor and configure the charge controller.

6.1. Навигация по ЖК-дисплею

Use the buttons on the front panel to navigate through the display screens and adjust settings. Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific actions like 'Select' or 'Enter'.

6.2 Выбор типа аккумулятора

Контроллер автоматически определяет напряжение системы 12 В/24 В.tages for non-lithium batteries. For lithium batteries, you must manually adjust the battery voltage setting through the controller's menu to ensure proper charging parameters.

6.3. Lithium Battery Activation

The controller includes a lithium battery activation function. This feature allows charging of deeply discharged lithium batteries that might otherwise be unresponsive.

Figure 6.1: Lithium Activation ON

To prevent over-activation and unnecessary activation, you can turn OFF the lithium activation function. This helps avoid potential damage to the battery if it is not intended for activation.
