6. Installation og ledningsføring

6.1. Montering af controlleren

Mount the solar charge controller vertically on a wall or other suitable surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit for proper airflow and cooling. Avoid mounting in direct sunlight or areas with high humidity.

6.2. Ledningstrin

Follow these steps for safe and correct wiring. Always connect the battery first and disconnect it last.

1. Wire the Battery: Connect the battery cables to the battery terminals on the controller. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). Tighten the screws securely.
2. Wire Solar Panels: Connect the solar panel cables to the PV terminals on the controller. Ensure correct polarity.
3. Connect DC Load (Optional): If using a DC load, connect its cables to the load terminals on the controller.
4. Connect Temperature Sensor (if applicable): Plug the temperature sensor into its designated port on the controller. This ensures accurate battery temperature compensation.

7.2. Arbejdstilstande

The controller supports several working modes for load management:

• Night Mode (3.0): No charging occurs.
• MPPT Mode (4.0): Standard Maximum Power Point Tracking for optimal solar charging.
• Absorption Mode (7.0): Batteriopladning stage where voltage holdes konstant, mens strømmen aftager.
• Floating Mode (8.0): Battery is fully charged, and charging voltage is reduced to a lower level to maintain full charge.

Additionally, Solar Light Control modes are available:

• Sollysstyringstilstand: Load turns on at sunset and off at sunrise.
• Sollys + Tidsstyring: Load turns on at sunset and off after a set duration or at sunrise.

8. Vedligeholdelse

• Regelmæssig inspektion: Kontrollér regelmæssigt alle ledningsforbindelser for tæthed og korrosion.
• Renhed: Hold controlleren ren og fri for støv og snavs. Brug en tør klud til rengøring.
• Rengøring af ventilator: Ensure the cooling fan and vents are not obstructed. Clean them regularly to maintain optimal cooling performance.
• Batteriets sundhed: Overvåg batteri voltage and health regularly. Ensure the battery type setting in the controller matches your battery.

9. Fejlfinding

10. Brugertips

• Panel Sizing: When connecting multiple solar panels, ensure their combined voltage and power output remain within the controller's specified limits (e.g., Max Open Voltage of PV Module and Max. Input Power). For example, if using 160W panels, calculate the total wattage og bindtage to match your controller model.
• Batterikompatibilitet: Always double-check that the selected battery type in the controller's settings accurately reflects the type of battery you are using (e.g., LiFePO4, Lead-Acid, Gel). Incorrect settings can lead to inefficient charging or battery damage.
• Systemovervågning: Regularly check the LCD display for current charging status, battery voltage, and load status to ensure your system is operating optimally.
• Ventilation: Ensure the controller is installed in a location with good airflow to prevent overheating, especially for higher amperage modeller.
