5.2 Menetapkan Parameter

To adjust settings such as high voltage disconnection protection or low voltage:

1. Press and hold the "RESET" (Up) button for 5 seconds to enter the high voltage disconnection protection setting.
2. Briefly press "RESET" (Up) or "ON/OFF" (Down) to adjust the value.
3. Press and hold the "ON/OFF" (Down) button for 5 seconds to enter the low voltage disconnection protection setting.
4. Briefly press "RESET" (Up) or "ON/OFF" (Down) to adjust the value.

To change the load control mode (e.g., 24-hour, light control, light and time control):

1. Press the "MENU" button. The current control mode will flash.
2. Press "RESET" (Up) or "ON/OFF" (Down) to select the desired control mode.

6. Penyelenggaraan

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

• Periksa Sambungan: Periodically check all wiring connections for tightness and corrosion. Loose connections can lead to power loss or overheating.
• Bersihkan Pengawal: Keep the controller clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Ensure ventilation openings are not blocked.
• Pantau Prestasi: Regularly check the LCD display for normal operation and parameter readings. Note any unusual readings or error messages.
• Kesihatan Bateri: Ensure your batteries are well-maintained according to their manufacturer's guidelines. The controller's smart charging helps, but battery health is crucial for overall system performance.
• Keadaan Persekitaran: Pastikan persekitaran pemasangan kekal dalam julat suhu dan kelembapan yang disyorkan.

7. Penyelesaian masalah

If you encounter issues with your solar charge controller, consider the following:

• Fluctuating PV or Battery Readings: If the reading data of the PV or Battery is constantly changing, this is normal. The controller is actively finding the Maximum Power Point (MPP). However, if the PV input power or voltage is consistently insufficient, this can also cause fluctuations. Ensure your solar panels are receiving adequate sunlight and are correctly sized for your system.
• Tiada Kuasa untuk Memuatkan: Check the load connections and ensure the load control mode is set correctly (e.g., 24-hour mode if continuous power is needed). Verify the battery has sufficient charge.
• Bateri Tidak Dicas: Check solar panel connections and ensure they are producing voltage. Verify battery connections are secure. Check for any error codes on the LCD display.
• Over-temperature Warning: Ensure the controller is installed in a well-ventilated area and its heat sinks are not obstructed. Reduce load if necessary.
