4. Configuración e instalación
Siga estes pasos para a instalación correcta:
- Montaxe: Choose a suitable location for mounting the controller. Ensure good ventilation and protection from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Conexión da batería: Conecta primeiro a batería aos terminais da batería do controlador. Asegúrate da polaridade correcta (+ a + e - a -). O controlador detectará automaticamente o volume da batería.tage (12V ou 24V).
- Conexión do panel solar: 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).
- Conexión de carga (opcional): If using the load output, connect your DC loads to the controller's load terminals. Do not exceed the rated load current (20A Max).
- Sensor de temperatura: Connect the included battery temperature probe cable to the designated port on the controller. Place the sensor near the battery for accurate temperature compensation.
- Encendido: Once all connections are secure, the controller will power on and begin operation.

7 Solución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Sen pantalla/Sen alimentación | Conexión solta da batería; Vol. da bateríatage too low; Blown fuse (external, if applicable). | Check battery connections and polarity. Charge battery if voltage is below operating threshold. Check and replace any external fuses. |
| Sen carga solar | 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. |
| A carga non funciona | Load disconnected; Overload; Short circuit; Battery voltage moi baixo. | Check load connections. Reduce load if exceeding 20A. Check for short circuits. Ensure battery is sufficiently charged. |
| Lecturas inexactas | Loose connections; Faulty sensor. | Check all wiring connections. Ensure temperature sensor is properly connected and placed. |
