2ND STEP: CONNECT THE SOLAR MODULE
-
Ensure that the solar module is protected from incident light
(cover it or wait for night).
-
Ensure that the solar module does not exceed the maximum
permissible input current.
-
First connect the M+ solar module connection cable to the correct
pole of the left pair of terminals on the solar charge controller
(with the solar module symbol), then connect the M– cable. Remove
the covering from the solar module.
3RD STEP: CONNECT LOADS
-
First connect the L+ load cable to the correct pole of the right pair
of terminals on the solar charge controller (with the lamp symbol),
then connect the L– cable. Insert the load fuse or switch on the load.
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.
4TH STEP: FINAL WORK
Fasten all cables with strain relief in the direct vicinity of the solar charge
controller (clearance of approx. 10 cm).
