Amatheminali okuxhuma:

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

6. Ukusetha nokufakwa

Landela lezi zinyathelo ukuze ufake kahle isilawuli sakho sokushaja selanga:

1. Ukukhweza: Choose a dry, well-ventilated indoor location, away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and moisture. Ensure sufficient air circulation around the controller.
2. Uxhumano Lwebhethri:
   • 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. Uxhumano Lwephaneli yeSolar:
   • 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. Layisha Uxhumano:
   • 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. Qinisekisa Ukuxhumana: Double-check all connections for correct polarity and tightness before proceeding.

7. Iziqondiso Zokusebenza

7.1. Automatic System Voltage Ukuqashelwa

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 ukuthola.

7.2. Ukushaja Amamodi

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

• Ukukhokhiswa kwenqwaba: 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).
• Inkokhelo Yokuntanta: Maintains the battery at a full charge by providing a small, constant voltage, compensating for self-discharge.

7.3. Load Control

The load output is controlled by the controller to prevent over-discharge of the battery. When the battery voltage yehla ngaphansi kwe-Low Voltage 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. Imbobo yokushaja i-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.

  • Valiwe: Battery is fully charged or not charging.
• I-Overvoltage Inkomba:
  • Okubomvu: Okokufaka ivoltage from solar panel is too high, or battery voltage is overcharge protection level.
• UVW (Battery Voltage Indicator): Multiple LEDs indicating battery charge level.
• I-LVD (Ivolumu Ephansitage Disconnect Indicator):
  • Okubomvu: Ibhethri voltage is low, load output has been disconnected.
• Load ON Indicator:
  • Okuluhlaza: Load output is active.
• Over Load Indicator:
  • Okubomvu: Load current exceeds the maximum rated current. Load output may be temporarily disconnected.
