6. Istruzioni per l'uso

LCD Display and Parameter Settings:

The LCD display provides real-time information about your solar charging system. Use the four buttons (ESC, UP, DOWN, SET) to navigate menus and adjust parameters.

• Premere IMPOSTATO per accedere al menu principale.
• Utilizzo SU/GIÙ to scroll through options such as battery type, load timer settings, and other customizable parameters.
• Premere IMPOSTATO again to select an option and then use SU/GIÙ per modificare i valori.
• Premere IMPOSTATO per confermare le modifiche, o ESC per uscire senza salvare.

Processo di ricarica:

The controller utilizes a smart 4-stage processo di ricarica per ottimizzare la salute e la longevità della batteria:

1. Carica alla rinfusa: Ricarica rapida per portare la batteria a circa l'80% della capacità.
2. Carica di assorbimento: Charging at a constant voltage to bring the battery to 100% capacity.
3. Carica galleggiante: Maintaining the battery at full charge with a lower voltage.
4. Equalization Charge (for specific battery types): Periodically overcharging to balance cell voltages.
