SECTION 6 |
As soon as Battery (+) is connected, the Status LED (2, Fig 5.1) will be steady Orange
and message "Welcome to Samlex Solar 1.0" will be displayed for around 3 to 5 sec.
After this, the LED will blink Green & Screen 1 (Fig 5.3) will be displayed: Amp 0.0;
Watt 0.0; BatV="the battery voltage".
6. Connect the Solar Panel / Array next. It is recommended that the Positive of
the PV Panel/Array be routed through easily accessible DC Circuit Breaker or DC
Disconnect Switch (Rated at ≥ 50 VDC and current capacity = 1.56 times the Short
Circuit Current "Isc" of the Solar Panel/Array). The Status LED indicator (2, Fig. 5.1)
will blink Green if the Solar Panel / Array is connected during the daytime and the
Solar Panel /Array is wired correctly (see Table 5.1 for details of LED display).
Remember that the Solar Panel /Array will generate power whenever in sunlight.
Also, be careful not to short circuit the Solar Panel /Array while connected to the
controller, since this will damage the controller.
7. For most effective surge protection, it is recommended that the Negative system
conductor be properly grounded.
DIP Switch Settings
Five DIP Switches permit the following parameters to be adjusted at the installation site:

Standard Battery Charging Programs
SCC-30AB provides 8 standard battery charging algorithms (programs) that are
selected with DIP Switches 2, 3, 4.
Table 6.3 below summarizes the major parameters of the standard charging
algorithms. Note that all the voltages are for 12V systems. For 24V system, multiply
the voltages by 2.
•
Consult the battery manufacturer / battery specifications & select the
appropriate Algorithm.
