3. Sikkerhetsinformasjon
Please read all instructions carefully before installation and operation. Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in personal injury, damage to the controller, or other equipment.
- Ensure all wiring is correctly polarized and securely connected. Loose connections can cause overheating and damage.
- Koble alltid til batteriet først, deretter solcellepanelet og til slutt lasten. Frakoble i motsatt rekkefølge.
- Do not connect the solar panel array to the controller without a battery connected.
- Sørg for at systemet voltage of the solar panel and battery are compatible with the controller's specifications.
- Installer kontrolleren i et godt ventilert område, unna brennbare materialer og direkte sollys.
- Avoid touching live terminals. Use insulated tools during installation.
- This device is not waterproof. Protect it from moisture and water exposure.

5. Oppsett og installasjon
Følg disse trinnene for riktig installasjon av solcelleladekontrolleren.
5.1 Montering av kontrolleren
- Choose a dry, well-ventilated location, protected from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and moisture.
- Ensure there is sufficient space around the controller for heat dissipation, especially around the cooling fins.
- Mount the controller vertically on a solid surface using the provided screws.
5.2 Kablingstilkoblinger
Refer to the wiring diagrams below for correct connection sequence. Always connect in the following order:
- Koble til batteriet: Connect the battery to the controller's battery terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The controller will automatically detect the battery voltage.
- Koble til solcellepanelet: Connect the solar panel array to the controller's PV terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
- Koble til likestrømslasten (valgfritt): Connect the DC load to the controller's load terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
To disconnect the system, follow the reverse order: disconnect load, then solar panel, then battery.
