4. Installatie en installatie
Volg deze stappen voor een correcte installatie:
- Montage: Choose a suitable location for mounting the controller. Ensure good ventilation and protection from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Batterijverbinding: 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 of 24V).
- Aansluiting zonnepaneel: 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).
- Belastingsaansluiting (optioneel): If using the load output, connect your DC loads to the controller's load terminals. Do not exceed the rated load current (20A Max).
- Temperatuursensor: Connect the included battery temperature probe cable to the designated port on the controller. Place the sensor near the battery for accurate temperature compensation.
- Inschakelen: Once all connections are secure, the controller will power on and begin operation.
5. Gebruiksaanwijzing
The integral LCD display provides real-time information about your solar charging system. Use the buttons (if present, assuming standard UP/DOWN/SET) to navigate through the display menus and adjust settings.

6. Onderhoud
Regelmatig onderhoud zorgt ervoor dat uw zonnelaadregelaar optimaal presteert en lang meegaat.
- Verbindingen inspecteren: Controleer regelmatig alle bedradingsverbindingen op vastheid en corrosie.
- Schone controller: Keep the controller clean and free of dust. Use a dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquids.
- Batterijstatus: Monitor batterij voltage and capacity on the LCD. Ensure batteries are properly maintained according to their manufacturer's guidelines.
- Ventilatie: Zorg ervoor dat de plek waar u het apparaat installeert goed geventileerd blijft om oververhitting te voorkomen.
7. Probleemoplossing
| Probleem | Mogelijke oorzaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Geen beeld/Geen stroom | 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. |
| Geen opladen via zonne-energie | 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. |
| Laden werkt niet | Load disconnected; Overload; Short circuit; Battery voltagte laag. | Check load connections. Reduce load if exceeding 20A. Check for short circuits. Ensure battery is sufficiently charged. |
| Onnauwkeurige metingen | Loose connections; Faulty sensor. | Check all wiring connections. Ensure temperature sensor is properly connected and placed. |
