4.3 Parallel Connection (Optional):

The controller supports parallel connection for expanding your solar power system. Refer to the official video for detailed instructions on parallel setup and communication line configuration.

5. Instrucións de funcionamento

After successful installation, the controller will power on and display the main interface. Use the control buttons to navigate and adjust settings.

5.1 LCD Display Navigation:

Use the "Up" and "Down" arrow buttons to cycle through different display interfaces, showing PV voltage, batería voltage, charging current, load status, temperature, and error codes.

5.2 Configuración de parámetros:

To enter the settings interface, press the "PRG/ESC" button. Use the "Up" and "Down" arrows to adjust values and "ENTER" to confirm. Key settings include:

• d00 (Load Operating Mode): Configure how the DC load operates (e.g., 24H for continuous, 00H for light control, 1H-23H for timed operation).
• d01 (Charging Voltage): Establece o volume de carga de aumentotage.
• d02 (Float Charging Voltage): Establecer o volumen de carga flotantetage.
• d03 (Low Voltage Protección): Set the battery low voltaglimiar de desconexión (LVD).
• d04 (Battery Voltage Calibración): Calibrate the displayed battery voltage if it differs from a multimeter reading.
• d05 (Parallel Communication Code): Define the communication address for parallel operation (lowest code acts as master).
• d06 (Battery Type): Select the battery type (e.g., Sealed, Gel, Flooded, Lithium Iron Phosphate). Choosing "USE" allows manual settings for d01, d02, and d03.
• d07 (System Voltage): Configure the system voltage (e.g., 12V, 24V, 48V).
