PHOTOVOLTAIK - PHOTOVOLTAICS - PHOTOVOLTAIQUE - FOTOVOLTAICA Installation and operating instructions Solar charge controller 10 A / 15 A / 0 A / 30 A EN 7 4. 86 | Z0 | 10.
1. About this manual These operating instructions are part of the product. Read these operating instructions carefully before use, keep them over the entire lifetime of the product, and pass them on to any future owner or user of this product. 1.1 Applicability This manual describes the installation, function, operation and maintenance of the solar charge controller. Further technical information is provided in a separate technical manual. 1.
2.5 Fault behaviour Operating the solar charge controller is dangerous in the following situations: • • • • The solar charge controller does not appear to function at all. The solar charge controller or connected cables are visibly damaged. Emission of smoke or fluid penetration. When parts are loose. In these cases immediately remove the solar charge controller from the solar modules and battery. 3. Description 3.
. Installation WARNING Danger of explosion from sparking! Danger of electric shock! The solar charge controller may only be connected to the local loads and the battery by trained personnel and in accordance with the applicable regulations. Follow the installation and operating instructions for all components of the PV system. Ensure that no cables are damaged. 4.1 Mounting the solar charge controller 4.1.
4.2.2 Connection WARNING Danger of explosion from sparking! Danger of electric shock! Solar modules generate electricity under incident light. The full voltage is present, even when the incident light levels are low. Protect the solar modules from incident light during installation, e.g. cover them. Never touch uninsulated cable ends. Use only insulated tools. Ensure that all loads to be connected are switched off. If necessary, remove the fuse.
3rd step: Connect loads Notes • Connect loads that must not be deactivated by the solar charge controller deep discharge protection, e.g. emergency lights or radio connection, directly to the battery. • Loads with a higher current consumption than the device output can be directly connected to the battery. However, the solar charge controller deep discharge protection will no longer intervene. Loads connected in this manner must also be separately fused.
6. Maintenance The solar charge controller is maintenance-free. All components of the PV system must be checked at least annually, according to the specifications of the respective manufacturers. Ensure adequate ventilation of the cooling element. Check the cable strain relief. Check that all cable connections are secure. Tighten screws if necessary. Terminal corrosion 7.
