2. Instrucións de seguridade
- Ensure all connections are tight and correct to prevent damage to the controller or other components.
- Conecta sempre a batería ao controlador primeiro, and then connect the solar panel. Disconnect in the reverse order: solar panel first, then battery. Failure to follow this sequence may damage the controller.
- Asegúrese de que a batería voltage is sufficient for the controller to recognize the system voltage (e.g., >10V for 12V battery, >20V for 24V battery, >30V for 36V battery, >40V for 48V battery).
- Instale o controlador nunha zona ben ventilada, lonxe da luz solar directa, de altas temperaturas e da humidade.
- Do not attempt to repair or modify the controller yourself. Contact qualified personnel for service.
