5. Instalación e configuración
5.1 Montaxe do controlador
- Choose a dry, well-ventilated location, protected from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and water.
- Ensure there is sufficient airflow around the controller for proper cooling.
- Mount the controller vertically on a wall or suitable surface using appropriate fasteners.
5.2 Conexións de cableado
Importante: Conecta sempre primeiro a batería, despois o panel solar e, finalmente, a carga. Desconecta en orde inversa.
- Conecte a batería: Connect the positive and negative terminals of your battery bank to the corresponding battery terminals on the controller. Ensure correct polarity. The controller will automatically detect the battery voltage (12 V/24 V/36 V/48 V).
- Conecta o panel solar: Connect the positive and negative terminals of your solar panel array to the corresponding PV input terminals on the controller. Ensure correct polarity. The maximum open circuit voltage (Voc) from the PV array should not exceed 160V.
- Conectar a carga de CC (opcional): If using a DC load directly from the controller, connect its positive and negative terminals to the load terminals on the controller.

5.3 Selección do tipo de batería
The controller supports various battery types. You can select the appropriate type through the controller's settings menu. For lithium batteries (LiFePO4, Li(NiCoMn)O2), it is essential to set the specific start and end charging voltages according to the battery manufacturer's specifications. Refer to the detailed instructions in the user manual for proper configuration.

6. Instrucións de funcionamento
6.1 Pantalla LCD e botóns
The LCD display provides real-time system status. Use the buttons (PV, BAT, DC, SET) to navigate through menus and adjust parameters. Refer to the detailed manual for specific button functions and menu navigation.
6.2 Cargando Stages
O controlador emprega un sistema multi-stagalgoritmo de carga para optimizar a duración e o rendemento da batería:
- Carga masiva: Carga a batería á máxima corrente ata que voltage rises to the absorption level.
- Constant Charging (Boost/Equalize): Mantén un volume constantetage, allowing the current to gradually decrease. Equalization is a controlled overcharge for flooded batteries to balance cell voltages.
- Carga flotante: Reduces the voltage to a lower level once the battery is fully charged, maintaining it at a safe level to prevent self-discharge.
6.3 Modos de traballo da carga
The DC load output can be configured with different working modes:
- Load OFF: A saída de carga está sempre desactivada.
- Load Always ON: A saída de carga está activada continuamente.
- Control de tempo: The load output operates for a specified duration after sunset.
7. Mantemento
Un mantemento regular garante un rendemento óptimo e unha maior lonxevidade do seu controlador de carga solar:
- Inspeccione periodicamente todas as conexións do cableado para comprobar se están ben apertadas e corroídas.
- Clean the controller's exterior with a dry cloth. Do not use liquids or solvents.
- Asegúrate de que as aberturas de ventilación estean libres de po e residuos para permitir unha disipación axeitada da calor.
- Supervise a pantalla LCD para detectar calquera código de erro ou lecturas pouco comúns.
