4. Enstalasyon

4.1. Enstalasyon batri

  1. Jwenn konpatiman pil la sou dèyè mèt la.
  2. Sèvi ak yon ti tournevis pou ouvri kouvèti batri a.
  3. Mete 3 pil AAA, asire w polarite ki kòrèk la (+/-).
  4. Ranplase kouvèti batri a epi an sekirite li ak vis la.

4.2. Konekte fil tès yo

The ZIBOO FT-1000W comes with special MC4 test leads for direct connection to solar panels.

  1. Connect the red test lead to the positive (+) input terminal on the meter.
  2. Connect the black test lead to the negative (-) input terminal on the meter.
  3. Ensure the MC4 connectors on the test leads are securely attached to the corresponding connectors on your solar panel or array.

5. Operasyon Enstriksyon

5.1. Power On/Off

  • Pou limen: Peze epi kenbe bouton pouvwa a (U) for approximately 3 seconds.
  • To power off: Press and hold the power button (U) for approximately 2 seconds. The device also features an auto-off function to conserve battery.

5.2. Measurement Modes (Manual/Auto)

The meter offers two measurement modes:

  • Mòd oto: Peze a OTO button. The meter will automatically scan and display the PV module's parameters (Pmax, Vmp, Amp, Voc, Isc) every few seconds. This mode is ideal for quick, continuous monitoring.
  • Mòd manyèl: Peze a MANYÈL button. In this mode, each press of the button initiates a single measurement cycle. Wait for approximately 3 seconds after pressing to allow the measurement to complete and display.

5.3. Fonksyon Kenbe Done

To freeze the current readings on the display, press the H button. Press it again to release the data hold and resume live readings.

5.4. Aktivasyon ekleraj dèyè

For improved visibility in low-light conditions, press and hold the backlight button (H*) to activate the display backlight. Press and hold again to turn it off.
