4. Seti ma Fa'apipi'i
Mulimuli i laasaga nei mo le faʻapipiʻiina lelei:
- Fa'amauina: Choose a suitable location for mounting the controller. Ensure good ventilation and protection from direct sunlight and moisture.
- So'oga ma'a: 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 poʻo le 24V).
- So'oga o le Solar Panel: 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).
- Load Connection (Optional): If using the load output, connect your DC loads to the controller's load terminals. Do not exceed the rated load current (20A Max).
- Temperature Sensor: Connect the included battery temperature probe cable to the designated port on the controller. Place the sensor near the battery for accurate temperature compensation.
- Malosiaga: Once all connections are secure, the controller will power on and begin operation.
