5. Орнотуу жана орнотуу

Follow these steps for proper installation of your charge controller:

1. Монтаждоо: Choose a dry, well-ventilated location for mounting the controller. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the unit for heat dissipation. Mount vertically on a non-flammable surface.
2. Зымдарды тартуу ырааттуулугу:
   • Батареянын кабелдерин заряддоо контроллериндеги батарея терминалдарына туташтырыңыз. Туура полярдуулукту (+ дан + га жана - дан - га) текшериңиз.
   • Күн батареясынын кабелдерин заряддоо контроллериндеги фотоэлектрдик терминалдарга туташтырыңыз. Туура полярдуулукту текшериңиз.
   • Connect the load cables to the load terminals on the charge controller (optional). Ensure correct polarity.
3. Температура сенсору: Connect the included temperature sensor cable to the designated port on the controller. Place the sensor near the battery to enable accurate temperature compensation for charging.
4. Баштапкы кубаттоо: Once all connections are secure, the controller will power on and display system information on the LCD.

Important: Always connect the battery first and disconnect the battery last to prevent damage to the controller.

6. Иштөө нускамалары

The LCD display and buttons allow you to monitor and configure the charge controller.

6.1. LCD Display Navigation

Use the buttons on the front panel to navigate through the display screens and adjust settings. Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific actions like 'Select' or 'Enter'.

6.2. Батареянын түрүн тандоо

The controller automatically detects 12V/24V system voltages for non-lithium batteries. For lithium batteries, you must manually adjust the battery voltage setting through the controller's menu to ensure proper charging parameters.
