4.2. Sekwenza tal-Wajers

Follow this wiring sequence strictly to avoid damage to the controller or other components:

1. Qabbad il-batterija: Connect the battery to the controller's battery terminals (positive to positive, negative to negative). The controller will automatically detect the system voltage (12V jew 24V).
2. Qabbad il-Panel Solari: Connect the solar panel to the controller's PV terminals (positive to positive, negative to negative).
3. Qabbad it-Tagħbija: Connect the DC load to the controller's load terminals (positive to positive, negative to negative).

Important Note: Always connect the battery first, then the solar panel, and finally the load. Disconnect in the reverse order: load, then solar panel, then battery.
