4. Configuración e instalación
Siga estos pasos para una correcta instalación:
- Montaje: Choose a suitable location for mounting the controller. Ensure good ventilation and protection from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Conexión de la batería: Conecte primero la batería a los terminales del controlador. Asegúrese de que la polaridad sea correcta (+ con + y - con -). El controlador detectará automáticamente el volumen de la batería.tage (12 V o 24 V).
- Conexión del panel solar: Connect the solar panel array to the controller's solar input terminals. Observe correct polarity. Ensure the open-circuit voltage of the solar array does not exceed the controller's maximum input voltage (110V at 25°C).
- Conexión de carga (opcional): If using the load output, connect your DC loads to the controller's load terminals. Do not exceed the rated load current (20A Max).
- Sensor de temperatura: Connect the included battery temperature probe cable to the designated port on the controller. Place the sensor near the battery for accurate temperature compensation.
- Encendido: Once all connections are secure, the controller will power on and begin operation.
5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The integral LCD display provides real-time information about your solar charging system. Use the buttons (if present, assuming standard UP/DOWN/SET) to navigate through the display menus and adjust settings.

7. Solución de problemas
| Problema | Posible causa | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Sin pantalla/Sin energía | Conexión de batería suelta; Volumen de la bateríatage too low; Blown fuse (external, if applicable). | Check battery connections and polarity. Charge battery if voltage is below operating threshold. Check and replace any external fuses. |
| Sin carga solar | Solar panel not connected; Incorrect polarity; Insufficient sunlight; Damaged solar panel/wiring. | Verify solar panel connections and polarity. Ensure panels are receiving adequate sunlight. Inspect panels and wiring for damage. |
| La carga no funciona | Load disconnected; Overload; Short circuit; Battery voltagy demasiado bajo. | Check load connections. Reduce load if exceeding 20A. Check for short circuits. Ensure battery is sufficiently charged. |
| Lecturas inexactas | Loose connections; Faulty sensor. | Check all wiring connections. Ensure temperature sensor is properly connected and placed. |
