3. Configuração e instalação
Proper connection order is crucial for the correct functioning and safety of the solar charge controller. Follow these steps carefully:
- Conecte a bateria: First, connect the battery to the charge controller. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). The controller will automatically detect the battery voltage (12V ou 24V).
- Conecte os painéis solares: Next, connect the solar panels to the charge controller. Again, observe correct polarity.
- Conecte a carga CC (opcional): Finally, connect any DC loads (e.g., lights, fans) to the load terminals of the controller.
Nota importante: The controller will not function if connections are made in an incorrect order. Only 12V batteries will power a 12V panel, and a 24V panel requires a 24V battery for proper operation.
