4. Sigurnosne informacije i zaštitne funkcije

Always observe safety precautions when working with electrical systems. Ensure all connections are secure and correct before applying power. The W88-B controller incorporates multiple protection features to ensure safe operation of your solar system:

• Zaštita od prekomerne struje: Sprečava oštećenja uzrokovana prekomjernim protokom struje.
• Zaštita od prekomjernog punjenja: Stops charging when the battery is full to prevent overcharging.
• Zaštita od kratkog spoja: Automatski se isključuje u slučaju kratkog spoja.
• Over Voltage Zaštita: Protects against damage from excessively high voltage.
• Zaštita od pregrijavanja: Shuts down if internal temperature exceeds safe limits.
• Zaštita od groma: Offers defense against lightning strikes.

5. Postavljanje i instalacija

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your solar charge controller. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Prvo spojite bateriju: Connect the battery to the charge controller. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The controller will detect the battery voltage (12V ili 24V) automatski.
2. Spajanje solarnih panela: Connect the solar panels to the charge controller. Again, observe correct polarity.
3. Spojite DC opterećenje (opciono): Connect your DC load (e.g., DC lights) to the load terminals of the controller.
4. Spojite inverter (opciono): If using an inverter for AC loads, connect it to the battery terminals (not directly to the controller's load terminals).

Važno: Always connect the battery to the controller first, then the solar panels, and finally the load. Disconnect in the reverse order: load, then solar panels, then battery.
