4. Opsætning og installation
Følg disse trin for korrekt installation:
- Montering: Choose a suitable location for mounting the controller. Ensure good ventilation and protection from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Batteriforbindelse: Connect the battery to the controller's battery terminals first. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The controller will automatically detect the battery voltage (12V eller 24V).
- Solpaneltilslutning: Connect the solar panel array to the controller's solar input terminals. Observe correct polarity. Ensure the open-circuit voltage of the solar array does not exceed the controller's maximum input voltage (110V at 25°C).
- Belastningsforbindelse (valgfrit): If using the load output, connect your DC loads to the controller's load terminals. Do not exceed the rated load current (20A Max).
- Temperatursensor: Connect the included battery temperature probe cable to the designated port on the controller. Place the sensor near the battery for accurate temperature compensation.
- Tænd: Når alle forbindelser er sikre, tændes controlleren og begynder at fungere.
5. Betjeningsvejledning

- Ventilation: Sørg for, at installationsområdet er godt ventileret for at forhindre overophedning.
7. Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Intet display/Ingen strøm | Loose battery connection; Battery voltage too low; Blown fuse (external, if applicable). | Check battery connections and polarity. Charge battery if voltage is below operating threshold. Check and replace any external fuses. |
| Ingen solcelleopladning | Solar panel not connected; Incorrect polarity; Insufficient sunlight; Damaged solar panel/wiring. | Verify solar panel connections and polarity. Ensure panels are receiving adequate sunlight. Inspect panels and wiring for damage. |
| Indlæsningen virker ikke | Load disconnected; Overload; Short circuit; Battery voltage for lavt. | Check load connections. Reduce load if exceeding 20A. Check for short circuits. Ensure battery is sufficiently charged. |
| Unøjagtige aflæsninger | Loose connections; Faulty sensor. | Check all wiring connections. Ensure temperature sensor is properly connected and placed. |
