4.1. Important Pre-Installation Warnings

  • 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.

Visual guide for connecting solar panels, battery, and DC load to the controller.

  1. Sambungkan Bateri: Connect the positive and negative terminals of your battery bank to the corresponding battery terminals on the charge controller. Observe polarity.
  2. Connect the Solar Panels: 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.
  3. Sambungkan Beban DC (Pilihan): If you have DC loads, connect their positive and negative leads to the DC load terminals on the controller.
  4. Connect Temperature Sensor: Plug the included temperature sensor into the designated temperature interface. This ensures accurate battery charging based on ambient temperature.
  5. RS485 Communication (Optional): If using a Wi-Fi module or other communication device, connect it to the RS485 port.

4.3. Battery Type Compatibility

Battery types compatible with the controller

The controller is compatible with various battery chemistries including LifePO4, GEL, AGM, Flooded, and Lithium batteries, as well as a user-defined setting.

The controller supports multiple battery types. Ensure you select the correct battery type in the settings to optimize charging parameters and prolong battery life. Refer to the Operating section for instructions on how to change battery type settings.

5. Arahan Operasi

The controller features an LCD display and four buttons (Menu, Down, Up, Enter) for navigation and setting adjustments.

5.1. Paparan Navigasi

Press the 'Menu' button to cycle through different display screens showing real-time system data such as PV voltage, bateri voltage, charging current, and daily/total energy generated. Use the 'Up' and 'Down' buttons to navigate within menus or adjust values. Press 'Enter' to confirm a selection or enter a sub-menu.

5.2. Tetapan Parameter

To access advanced settings, navigate to the 'Parameter Setting' menu. A password may be required (refer to the included manual for default password). Key adjustable parameters include:

  • Jenis Bateri: Select the type of battery connected (Sealed, Gel, Flooded, Lithium, User). This is critical for correct charging.
  • Dinilai Voltage: Tetapkan vol nominaltage of your battery system (12V, 24V, 36V, 48V).
  • Caj Arus: Adjust the maximum charging current.
  • Caj Terapung Voltage: Tetapkan voltage at which the controller maintains the battery after it's fully charged.
  • Caj Penyamaan Voltage: For certain battery types, this setting allows for periodic overcharging to balance cell voltages.
  • Mod Kawalan Beban: Configure how the DC load output operates (e.g., always on, dusk to dawn, timer).

Always consult the detailed parameter tables in the full product manual for specific voltage and current recommendations for your battery type.

6. Penyelenggaraan

Penyelenggaraan berkala memastikan jangka hayat dan prestasi optimum pengawal cas solar anda.

  • Pembersihan: Periodically clean the exterior of the controller with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
  • Pengudaraan: Ensure adequate airflow around the controller. Maintain a space of approximately 20cm (8 inches) around the unit for proper heat dissipation.
  • Kipas Penyejuk: 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.
  • Pemeriksaan Sambungan: Regularly inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to overheating and poor performance.
  • Keadaan Persekitaran: Avoid installing the controller in direct sunlight or areas with high temperatures to prevent power loss due to overheating.
