5. Instrucións de funcionamento
The EPEVER VS6048AU controller features an intuitive LCD display and button interface for monitoring and configuration.
Navegación por pantalla LCD:
When no operation is performed, the LCD interface will automatically cycle through various display screens, showing real-time data such as PV voltage, corrente, volume da bateríatage, and load status.
Image 5.1: Illustration of the automatic cycling interfaces on the VS6048AU LCD display.
- Preme o MENÚ button to manually cycle through the display interfaces.
- Manteña premido o MENÚ button to enter or exit the parameter setting mode.
- In parameter setting mode, use the SET button to adjust values or confirm selections.
Operacións especiais:
- Accumulative Power Clearing: Under the PV power interface, press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds until the value blinks, then press SET again to clear the accumulative power value.
- Axuste da unidade de temperatura: Under the battery temperature interface, press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
Modos de carga:
O controlador utiliza un módulo de 3 segundostage intelligent PWM charging algorithm:
- Carga masiva: A batería cárgase á corrente máxima ata que alcance o seu volumetage chega ao Boost voltage.
- Boost/Equalize Charging: The battery is charged at a constant voltage. An Equalize charge is typically performed once a month to balance battery cells.
- Carga flotante: A batería voltage is maintained at the Float voltage, and the charging current is reduced to a trickle to keep the battery fully charged.
The controller supports charging for Sealed, Gel, and Flooded battery types. Ensure the correct battery type is selected in the settings for optimal charging performance.
