4. Installazzjoni u Wiring

Installazzjoni xierqa hija kruċjali għat-tħaddim sikur u effiċjenti tal-kontrollur tal-iċċarġjar solari tiegħek. Segwi dawn il-passi bir-reqqa.

4.1 Sekwenza ta' Konnessjoni

Dejjem qabbad il-komponenti fl-ordni li ġejja biex tevita l-ħsara:

1. Qabbad il-batterija: Connect the battery to the controller's battery terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The battery terminals should be installed with safety fuses. Ensure the distance does not exceed 150mm.
2. Qabbad it-tagħbija: Qabbad it-tagħbijiet DC tiegħek mat-terminals tat-tagħbija tal-kontrollur.
3. Connect the solar panel: Connect the solar panel to the controller's solar energy terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
4. Ixgħel il-kontrollur: The controller will automatically power on once all connections are secure.

Nota: If you want to connect an inverter, connect it directly to the battery, not to the load terminal of the controller.
