5. Enstalasyon ak Enstalasyon
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your solar charge controller. Follow these steps carefully:
- Connect Battery First: Konekte batri a ak kontwolè chaj la. Asire w polarite ki kòrèk la (+ pou rive nan + ak - pou rive nan -). Kontwolè a ap detekte vòl batri a.tage (12V oswa 24V) otomatikman.
- Connect Solar Panels: Connect the solar panels to the charge controller. Again, observe correct polarity.
- Connect DC Load (Optional): Connect your DC load (e.g., DC lights) to the load terminals of the controller.
- Konekte Envèstisè a (Si ou vle): If using an inverter for AC loads, connect it to the battery terminals (not directly to the controller's load terminals).
Enpòtan: Always connect the battery to the controller first, then the solar panels, and finally the load. Disconnect in the reverse order: load, then solar panels, then battery.
