Sigurnosne informacije

Please read all warnings and safety instructions carefully before installation and operation to prevent personal injury or product damage.

• Opće sigurnosne mjere:
  • Ovaj proizvod nije predviđen za upotrebu od strane osoba sa smanjenim fizičkim, senzornim ili mentalnim sposobnostima, ili sa nedostatkom iskustva ili znanja. Djecu treba nadzirati kako bi se osiguralo da se ne igraju s proizvodom.
  • NIKADA ne koristite proizvod u vlažnom okruženju, ili na mjestima gdje može doći do eksplozije plina ili prašine.
  • NIKADA ne dodirujte neizolovane krajeve kablova i koristite SAMO izolovani alat.
  • Instalater mora osigurati sredstva za rasterećenje kablova kako bi se spriječio prijenos naprezanja na spojeve.
  • MPPT kontroler je SAMO dizajniran za regulaciju solarnih panela.
  • NEMOJTE mijenjati polaritet priključka baterije na MPPT kontroler. Velika je vjerovatnoća da će kontroler izgorjeti ako je spojen na solarni panel sa obrnutim priključkom baterije.
  • Postavite ispravan tip baterije prilikom prve upotrebe.
  • Sve olovne baterije proizvode štetne, eksplozivne plinove. Akumulator treba postaviti u dobro provetrenom prostoru, što je dalje moguće od izvora paljenja. NEMOJTE pušiti niti imati otvoreni plamen u blizini napunjene baterije.
  • Keep the battery away from any metal objects which may cause a short circuit of the terminals.
  • Ventilation is highly recommended when mounting the controller in an enclosed enclosure with flooded batteries. Battery gases from flooded batteries can cause corrosion and destroy the controller circuits.
  • Loose power connections and corroded wires may result in high heat that can melt or burn surrounding materials, or even cause fire. Ensure tight connections and use cable ties to secure cables and prevent them from unnecessary movement.
• Sigurnost baterije:
  • Imajte na umu da je ovaj kontroler kompatibilan SAMO sa olovnim, AGM, GEL, kalcijumskim ili LiFePO4 baterijama.
  • Be cautious when working with lead acid batteries. Immediately rinse the affected area with water and seek medical assistance if lead acid comes into contact with your eyes or skin.
  • NEMOJTE spajati pretvarače ili punjač baterija na terminal za opterećenje kontrolera.
  • NEVER connect battery terminals to the controller BEFORE connecting the solar panel to the controller.
  • NIKADA ne spajajte solarne panele na kontroler dok se baterija ne poveže.
  • NEMOJTE koristiti kontroler za punjenje nepunjivih baterija. To može dovesti do oštećenja korisnika i/ili oštećenja solarne ploče, baterije i kontrolera.
  • Refer to the specifications provided by the manufacturer of the battery to ensure that the battery is suitable for use with this product. The battery manufacturer's safety instructions should always be observed.
  • Kontroler će postići optimalne performanse kada se redovno obavlja pravilno održavanje baterije.

Postavljanje i instalacija

The ATEM POWER 10A MPPT Solar Charge Controller is designed for effortless DIY setup. Follow these steps for proper connection:

1. Spojite litijumsku bateriju na kontroler punjenja.
2. Spojite solarnu ploču na kontroler i konfigurirajte tip baterije.
3. Kada je u načinu rada s litijumskom baterijom, kontroler punjenja automatski omogućava funkciju aktivacije i isporučuje voltage za aktiviranje baterije.
4. Ako je voltage ne može da se poveća, to može značiti da vam je baterija neispravna. Molimo kontaktirajte naš centar za korisničku podršku za stručnu pomoć.

Operacija

Exterior Interface and Indicators

The controller features LED indicators to show charging status and battery type. While charging, the indicator will flash, and a full charge is indicated when all three indicators are lit. If there is an abnormal battery voltage, all three indicators will flash simultaneously.

Figure 4: The controller's LED indicators provide visual feedback on charging status and battery type.

Izbor vrste baterije

To select the battery type, long press the 'BATTERY TYPE' button for 3 seconds to enter the battery type selection mode. The LED indicator will then flash, indicating the current battery type. To switch between different battery types, simply press the 'BATTERY TYPE' button once. Once you have selected the desired battery type, exit the mode by holding the button for 3 seconds. This operation comes with power-off memory, eliminating the need to reselect the battery type after the charger restarts.

Figure 5: The controller supports Lead Acid, AGM/Gel, Calcium, and LiFePO4 battery types.

Efficiency and Protection

The MPPT technology ensures up to 95% conversion efficiency and 99.99% tracking efficiency, maximizing power harvest from your solar panels. The controller also includes comprehensive protection features:

• Zaštita od reverzne polarnosti
• Under-voltage Zaštita
• Zaštita od prekomjerne struje
• Zaštita od previsoke temperature
• Zaštita od kratkog spoja

Održavanje i čišćenje

To maintain the controller's performance, it is recommended that the following maintenance be carried out:

• Uvjerite se da je kontroler sigurno instaliran u čistom i suhom okruženju.
• Uvjerite se da nema blokade protoka zraka oko kontrolera.
• Ensure the controller is clean and periodically check the terminals to ensure they're clean before plugging in.
• Provjerite ima li otvorenih žica između solarne ploče i baterije. Popravite ili zamijenite neke žice ako je potrebno.
• Ensure that all the system components are ground connected tightly and correctly.
