Verbindingsstappen:

1. Sluit de batterij aan: Connect the battery to the controller's battery terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). This is the first and most critical step.
2. De belasting aansluiten: Sluit uw DC-belastingen aan op de belastingsaansluitingen van de controller. Let op de juiste polariteit.
3. De zonnepanelen aansluiten: Sluit de zonnepanelen aan op de PV-aansluitingen van de controller. Let op de juiste polariteit.

Belangrijk: For safety, circuit breaker connections are recommended for all connections.

Stappen voor het loskoppelen:

To disconnect the system, follow the reverse order of connection:

1. Disconnect the PV Array.
2. Disconnect the Load.
3. Disconnect the Battery.

5. Gebruiksaanwijzing

The Triron4210N controller features an intuitive LCD display and five buttons for easy operation and monitoring.

• LAAD/- knop: Used to browse load parameters or decrease values during setting.
• Zet knop: Wordt gebruikt om de instellingenmodus te openen of selecties te bevestigen.
• ESC-knop: Hiermee verlaat u de instellingsmodus of keert u terug naar het vorige menu.

ViewParameters:

Press the PV/+, BATT/→, or LOAD/- buttons to cycle through the respective parameters on the LCD display. The display will show real-time values such as voltage, stroom, vermogen en temperatuur.

6. Configuratie van het batterijtype

The Triron4210N supports various battery types. It is essential to correctly configure the battery type for optimal charging and discharge management.

Setting Battery Type via LCD:

1. From the main display, press the SET knop om het menu te openen.
2. Navigate to the "Battery Type" option using the arrow buttons.
3. Pers SET to select the battery type (e.g., Sealed, Gel, Flooded, LiFePO4, Li(NiCoMn)O2, User).
4. Pers SET again to confirm and save your selection.

Opmerking: For LiFePO4 and Li(NiCoMn)O2 batteries, the controller does not automatically identify the system voltage. You must manually select 12V or 24V for your lithium battery system.

Advanced Lithium Battery Parameters:

For detailed parameter settings for lithium batteries, optional accessories are required:

• MT50/MT52 Remote Meter
• WiFi/BLE Adapter via APP (Solar Guardian)
• PC software via RS485 interface (CC-USB-RS485-150U cable)
