3. Настройка і ўстаноўка

Proper connection order is crucial for the correct functioning and safety of the solar charge controller. Follow these steps carefully:

  1. Падключыце акумулятар: 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 (12 В або 24 В).
  2. Падключэнне сонечных панэляў: Next, connect the solar panels to the charge controller. Again, observe correct polarity.
  3. Падключыце нагрузку пастаяннага току (неабавязкова): Finally, connect any DC loads (e.g., lights, fans) to the load terminals of the controller.

Важная заўвага: 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.
