3. Long press the "ENTER" button until the value flashes.
4. Use the "SELECT" button to adjust the value.
5. Press "ENTER" to confirm the new value.

Note: Forkert voltage settings can damage your battery. Consult your battery's specifications or a qualified professional before making adjustments.

5. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Renogy MPPT 30A Solar Charge Controller.

• Renhed: Hold controlleren ren og fri for støv og snavs. Brug en tør klud til rengøring.
• Forbindelser: Kontrollér regelmæssigt alle ledningsforbindelser for tæthed og korrosion. Løse forbindelser kan forårsage overophedning og skader.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the controller for proper heat dissipation. Do not block ventilation openings.
• Batteriinspektion: Regularly inspect your batteries for any signs of damage, swelling, or leakage. Ensure battery terminals are clean and secure.
• Firmwareopdateringer: Tjek Renogy website for any available firmware updates for your controller model.

6. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your solar charging system, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Ingen skærm/strøm:
  • Kontrollér batteriforbindelserne, og sørg for, at de er sikre og korrekt polariseret.
  • Bekræft batteri voltage er inden for regulatorens driftsområde (12V/24V).
  • Inspect fuses or circuit breakers in the battery circuit.
• No Charging from Solar Panels:
  • Sørg for, at solpanelernes forbindelser er sikre og korrekt polariserede.
  • Check for sufficient sunlight reaching the solar panels.
  • Bekræft solpanelvolumentage er inden for controllerens indgangsområde.
  • Inspect any inline fuses or circuit breakers in the solar panel circuit.
• Indlæsning virker ikke:
  • Check load connections and ensure they are secure and correctly polarized.
  • Verify the load mode setting on the controller.
  • Check for overcurrent or short circuit on the load terminals.
  • Sørg for batteri voltage er over den lave voltage-afbrydelsesindstilling (LVD).
• Fejlkoder:
  • Refer to the controller's LCD display (Figure 5) for any error codes. Consult the full product manual (if provided separately) for specific error code definitions and solutions.

If the issue persists after following these steps, contact Renogy customer support for further assistance.
