4. Installazione e configurazione
4.1. Precauzioni di sicurezza
- Prima di applicare l'alimentazione, assicurarsi che tutti i collegamenti siano corretti e sicuri.
- Collegare sempre prima la batteria, poi il pannello solare e infine il carico. Scollegare in ordine inverso.
- Installare il controller in un'area ben ventilata, lontano da materiali infiammabili e dalla luce solare diretta.
- Utilizzare cavi di sezione adeguata per tutti i collegamenti per evitare il surriscaldamento.
4.2. Montaggio del controller
Mount the controller vertically on a flat, non-flammable surface using the provided mounting screws. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for proper airflow and heat dissipation, especially for the cooling fans located on the top.
Figura 4.1: Image showing the dimensions of the controller (approximately 9.0 inches long, 7.3 inches wide, 2.8 inches high) and the included mounting screws and user manual.
4.3. Collegamenti elettrici
Seguire attentamente l'ordine di collegamento per evitare danni al controller o ad altri componenti.
- Collegare la batteria: Connect the positive and negative terminals of your battery bank to the corresponding battery terminals on the controller. The controller will automatically detect the system voltage (12V o 24V).
- Collegare il pannello solare: Connect the positive and negative leads from your solar panel array to the solar panel terminals on the controller. Ensure the maximum PV input voltage does not exceed 100VDC. For a 12V system, maximum solar input power is 720W; for a 24V system, it is 1440W.
- Collegare il carico CC (facoltativo): Connect your DC loads to the load terminals on the controller. This allows the controller to manage load discharge and provide protection.
Figura 4.2: Wiring diagram illustrating the correct connection sequence: Battery first, then Solar Panel, then DC Load. An optional inverter for AC loads is also shown connected to the battery bank.
4.4. Selezione del tipo di batteria
The controller is compatible with various battery types. It is crucial to select the correct battery type for optimal charging and battery longevity. Refer to the display and settings section to adjust this parameter if needed. The controller supports FLD (Flooded), LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate), SLD (Sealed Lead-Acid), GEL, and AGM batteries.

The controller automatically identifies battery voltage and supports custom parameters, including lithium battery 0V charging.
5. Funzionamento
5.1. Monitoraggio del display
The LCD display provides real-time information about your solar system. Use the Up (▲) and Down (▼) buttons to cycle through different display screens, showing parameters such as PV voltage, volume della batteriatage, charging current, load current, and battery state of charge.
5.2. Impostazioni dei parametri
To enter the parameter setting stage:
- Press the "SET" button to enter the setting mode. The value to be adjusted will flash.
- Use the Up (▲) or Down (▼) buttons to adjust the value.
- Press the "SET" button again to confirm and save the new value.
If no button is pressed for 10 seconds in setting mode, the controller will automatically exit without saving changes.

5.3. Modalità di lavoro del carico
The controller supports three distinct load working modes:
- Lighting Time Control Mode (1H-23H): The load automatically turns on or off based on the intensity of sunlight and a set timer.
- Normal OFF Mode (0H): The load remains off. This mode is useful for specific loads or during debugging.
- Normal ON Mode (24H): The load remains continuously on. This mode is suitable for loads requiring a 24-hour power supply.
