Terminal sambungan:

  • Solar Panel Input (PV): Connect your solar panel array here. Ensure correct polarity (+ and -).
  • Sambungan baterei: Connect your 12V or 24V battery bank here. Observe correct polarity (+ and -).
  • Output beban: Connect your DC loads (e.g., lights, fans) here. Observe correct polarity (+ and -).
  • Port USB: 5V, 1.2A max output for charging small electronic devices.

6. Persiyapan lan Instalasi

Tindakake langkah-langkah iki kanggo nginstal pangontrol daya solar sing tepat:

  1. Pemasangan: Choose a dry, well-ventilated indoor location, away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and moisture. Ensure sufficient air circulation around the controller.
  2. Sambungan baterei:
    • Connect the positive (+) terminal of the battery to the battery positive (+) terminal on the controller.
    • Connect the negative (-) terminal of the battery to the battery negative (-) terminal on the controller.
    • The controller will automatically detect if it's a 12V or 24V system.
  3. Koneksi Panel Surya:
    • Connect the positive (+) terminal of the solar panel to the solar panel positive (+) terminal on the controller.
    • Connect the negative (-) terminal of the solar panel to the solar panel negative (-) terminal on the controller.
    • Ensure the open-circuit voltage of the solar panel does not exceed the maximum input voltage of the controller (typically 50V for 12/24V systems).
  4. Sambungan beban:
    • Connect the positive (+) terminal of your DC load to the load positive (+) terminal on the controller.
    • Connect the negative (-) terminal of your DC load to the load negative (-) terminal on the controller.
    • Do not exceed the maximum rated current for the load output (20A).
  5. Verifikasi sambungan: Double-check all connections for correct polarity and tightness before proceeding.

7. Instruksi Operasi

7.1. Automatic System Voltage Pangenalan

The controller automatically detects whether the connected battery bank is 12V or 24V upon initial connection. Ensure the battery is connected first for proper voltage deteksi.

7.2. Mode Pengisian Daya

The MP3752 employs intelligent PWM charging, automatically cycling through different stages to optimize battery health and lifespan:

  • Biaya Akeh: Delivers maximum current to rapidly bring the battery to approximately 80% charge.
  • Equalise Charge: Periodically applies a higher voltage to equalize the charge among battery cells, preventing sulfation and extending battery life (for flooded batteries).
  • Ngisi daya Ngisi: Njaga batere tetep kebak kanthi nyedhiyakake voltase cilik lan teteptage, menehi kompensasi kanggo ngeculake awake dhewe.

7.3. Kontrol beban

The load output is controlled by the controller to prevent over-discharge of the battery. When the battery voltage irungnya ngisor Vol Lowtage Disconnect (LVD) threshold, the load output will be automatically disconnected. It will reconnect once the battery has recharged to the Low Voltage Reconnect (LVR) threshold.

Press the power button on the controller to manually turn the load output ON or OFF.

7.4. Port Pengisian USB

The 5V, 1.2A USB port can be used to charge small electronic devices like smartphones or tablets. This port is active as long as the battery has sufficient charge.
