5. Installatie en installatie
Follow these steps for safe and correct installation of your TRIRON 1206N solar charge controller.
- Montage: Choose a suitable location for mounting the controller. It should be indoors, protected from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and water. Ensure good ventilation. Mount the controller vertically on a wall or panel using the provided mounting holes.
- Bedradingsvolgorde: Sluit de onderdelen in de volgende volgorde aan om schade te voorkomen:
- Stap 1: Sluit de batterij aan: Sluit de batterij aan op de batterijaansluitingen van de controller (BATT+/-). Let op de juiste polariteit. De controller detecteert het systeemvolume.tage.
- Step 2: Connect the Load: Sluit de DC-belasting aan op de belastingsaansluitingen (LOAD+/-) van de controller. Let op de juiste polariteit.
- Stap 3: Sluit het zonnepaneel aan: Sluit de zonnepanelen aan op de PV-aansluitingen (PV+/-) van de controller. Let op de juiste polariteit.
WAARSCHUWING: Always connect the battery first, then the load, and finally the solar panel. Disconnect in the reverse order: solar panel, then load, then battery. Incorrect wiring sequence can damage the controller and other components.
- Temperature Sensor (RT-S): Connect the optional remote temperature sensor to the designated port. This improves battery charging accuracy by compensating for temperature variations.
- Communicatie Poorten: If using external communication modules (e.g., MT50, eBox-WIFI-01), connect them to the RS485 SLAVE port. The controller also features dual USB ports (5V, 2.2A max) for charging small devices.
