5. Suidhich

Follow these steps for proper installation of your solar charge controller. Incorrect wiring can damage the controller and other components.

5.1. Modh Ceangal

1. Ceangail am bataraidh: Connect the battery to the controller's battery terminals (marked with a battery symbol). Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The controller will automatically detect the battery voltage (12V no 24V).
2. Ceangail am Pannal Solar: Connect the solar panel to the controller's solar panel terminals (marked with a solar panel symbol). Ensure correct polarity.
3. Ceangail an Luchd: Connect your DC loads to the controller's load terminals (marked with a light bulb symbol). Ensure correct polarity.

Important: Always connect the battery first and disconnect the load first, then the solar panel, and finally the battery when disassembling the system.

6. Stiùireadh Obrachaidh

The controller features an LCD display and control buttons for monitoring and adjusting settings.

6.1. Taisbeanadh LCD

The LCD display provides real-time information about your solar system, including:

• Solar panel voltage agus inbhe cosgais.
• Bataraidh voltage agus ìre cosgais.
• Load status (on/off) and current.
• Siostam voltage (12V no 24V).

6.2. Ag atharrachadh Voltage Suidhichidhean

The controller allows for manual adjustment of certain voltage parameters, such as the over-discharge recovery voltage. If you encounter issues or need to fine-tune your system, you can adjust the voltage:

1. Press and hold the MCU control button (usually the 'Menu' or 'Set' button) for approximately 3-4 seconds. This will bring up a management interface on the display.
2. Use the 'Add' button (or 'Up' arrow) to navigate through the settings and increase the voltage value until it reaches your desired setting, for example, 13.7V for battery recovery.
3. Press the MCU control button again to save the new setting. The display will stop flashing, indicating the data has been saved.

6.3. USB Output Usage

The dual USB ports can be used to charge various 5V devices, such as mobile phones, driving recorders, and cameras.

7. Cumail suas

Bidh cumail suas cunbhalach a’ dèanamh cinnteach à coileanadh agus fad-beatha as fheàrr airson do rianadair cosgais grèine.

• Glanadh: Periodically clean the controller's exterior with a dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Ensure the display remains clear.
• Sgrùdadh ceangail: Annually inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can cause overheating and damage.
• Fionnarachadh: Ensure the installation area remains well-ventilated to prevent overheating of the controller.

8. A ’dèanamh trioblaid

Tha an earrann seo a’ dèiligeadh ri cùisean cumanta agus na fuasglaidhean aca.

8.1. No Output from Load Terminals

• Comharradh: The load connected to the controller is not receiving power.
• Adhbhar a dh'fhaodadh a bhith ann: Bataraidh voltage is too low. The controller automatically stops output when battery voltage drops below a certain threshold (e.g., 10.5V-11V for a 12V system) to protect the battery from over-discharge.
• Fuasgladh: Allow the solar panel to charge the battery. The controller will resume load output once the battery voltage recovers to 12.6V (for a 12V system).

8.2. Incorrect Voltage Readings or Charging Behavior

• Comharradh: The display shows unexpected voltage values, or charging seems inefficient.
• Adhbhar a dh'fhaodadh a bhith ann: Voltage settings may be misconfigured or require adjustment. The normal operating voltage range for the controller is typically 10.7V to 13.7V (for a 12V system).
• Fuasgladh: Refer to Section 6.2 "Adjusting Voltage Settings" to manually adjust the voltage parameters, such as setting the recovery voltage to 13.7V if needed.
