4. Opsætning og installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your solar charge controller. Always ensure all power sources are disconnected before beginning installation.

4.1 Ledningsrækkefølge

1. Tilslut batteriet til laderegulatoren.
2. Connect the solar PV array to the charge controller.
3. Connect the load to the charge controller.

To disconnect the system, reverse this order: disconnect the load first, then the solar PV array, and finally the battery.

4.2.1 With Battery Mode

In this configuration, the solar charge controller regulates the charging of a battery bank from the solar panels and provides power to a DC load. Ensure the battery is connected before the PV array.

4.2.2 No Battery Mode (Batteryless Run)

The Tracer4210AN series supports direct connection to an inverter without a battery. When operating in this mode, the controller's battery terminals should be connected to the inverter. This mode is suitable for high-frequency inverters. Ensure the PV input power is greater than the load output power, considering conversion efficiencies.
