5. सेटअप आणि स्थापना

5.1 कंट्रोलर माउंट करणे

Mount the controller on a vertical surface in a location that is protected from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Ensure there is adequate air circulation around the unit for proper heat dissipation. While the unit is IP65 waterproof, protecting the terminal connections from direct water exposure is recommended.

आकृती 5.1: Physical dimensions of the controller: 142mm (5.591in) length, 94mm (3.701in) width, and 27mm (1.063in) depth.

५.१ वायरिंग क्रम

Follow this sequence carefully to avoid damage to the controller or battery:

1. बॅटरी कनेक्ट करा: Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery to the corresponding battery terminals on the charge controller. The LCD will illuminate.
2. सोलर पॅनेल कनेक्ट करा: Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the solar panel to the corresponding solar input terminals on the charge controller.
3. कनेक्शन सत्यापित करा: योग्य ध्रुवीयता आणि सुरक्षित बांधणीसाठी सर्व कनेक्शन पुन्हा तपासा.

Disconnection Sequence: To disconnect the system, always disconnect the solar panel first, then the battery.

आकृती 5.2: Wiring diagram showing the correct connection order: solar panel to controller, and controller to battery.

6. ऑपरेटिंग सूचना

५.२ एलसीडी डिस्प्ले आणि इंडिकेटर

The backlit LCD provides real-time information about your solar charging system. It displays battery voltage, charging current, and various status icons.

• बॅटरी व्हॉल्यूमtage (V): वर्तमान व्हॉल्यूम दाखवतेtage कनेक्ट केलेल्या बॅटरीचे.
• चार्जिंग करंट (A): Indicates the current flowing from the solar panel to the battery.
• बॅटरी प्रकार निर्देशक: Displays the selected battery type.
• Charging Status Icon: Indicates if the battery is currently charging.
• त्रुटी कोड: Specific codes will appear if a fault is detected (refer to Troubleshooting section).

३.३.२ बॅटरी प्रकार सेट करणे

The controller supports 8 different battery types. It is crucial to select the correct battery type for optimal charging and battery longevity.

1. दाबा आणि धरून ठेवा बॅटरी प्रकार button for 3 seconds to enter the battery type selection mode.
2. The current battery type will flash on the LCD.
3. दाबा बॅटरी प्रकार button repeatedly to cycle through the available battery types: Lithium-ion, LiFePO4, LTO, Gel, AGM, Flooded, Crystal, and Calcium.
4. Once your desired battery type is displayed, stop pressing the button. The controller will automatically save the selection after a few seconds of inactivity.

टीप: Incorrect battery type selection can lead to improper charging and potential battery damage.

6.3 चार्जिंग एसtages (PWM Technology)

The ProteusX controller utilizes advanced 4-stage Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) charging to efficiently charge and maintain your battery:

• बल्क शुल्क: Delivers maximum current to rapidly charge the battery to approximately 80% capacity.
• शोषण शुल्क: Charges the battery at a constant voltage, gradually reducing current as the battery approaches full capacity.
• फ्लोट शुल्क: Maintains the battery at a full state of charge by providing a small, constant voltage.
• समीकरण शुल्क: Periodically overcharges flooded batteries to balance cell voltages and prevent sulfation (not applicable to all battery types).

7. देखभाल

• नियमित तपासणी: सर्व वायरिंग कनेक्शन घट्टपणा आणि गंजण्याच्या लक्षणांसाठी वेळोवेळी तपासा.
