5. Installatie en installatie

Follow these steps for safe and correct installation of your TRIRON 1206N solar charge controller.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  3. Temperature Sensor (RT-S): Connect the optional remote temperature sensor to the designated port. This improves battery charging accuracy by compensating for temperature variations.
  4. 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.

6.2. Battery Type Setting

The controller supports various battery types. It is crucial to set the correct battery type for optimal charging and battery longevity.

  • Supported types include: Sealed, Gel, Flooded, LiFePO4, Li-NiCoMn, and User-defined Lithium battery.
  • Consult the display module manual or communication software for instructions on how to select and configure the battery type.

6.3. Werkmodi laden

De controller biedt meerdere modi voor lastregeling:

  • Handmatige bediening: The load can be turned ON/OFF manually via the controller's buttons or communication software.
  • Licht AAN/UIT: De belasting wordt automatisch ingeschakeld bij schemering en uitgeschakeld bij zonsopgang.
  • Licht AAN + Timer: The load turns ON at dusk and stays ON for a set duration (e.g., 2 hours, 4 hours).

These modes can be configured through the display module or external communication tools.

7. Onderhoud

Regelmatig onderhoud zorgt voor een lange levensduur en optimale prestaties van uw zonne-laadregelaar.

  • Controleer verbindingen: Periodically inspect all wiring connections for tightness and corrosion. Loose connections can cause voltagdruppels en oververhitting.
  • Schone controller: Keep the controller clean and free from dust and debris. Ensure the heat sink fins are not obstructed to allow for proper cooling. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
  • Batterij-inspectie: Regularly check battery terminals for corrosion and ensure battery fluid levels (for flooded batteries) are adequate.
  • Systeem prestatie: Monitor the system's performance through the display or monitoring software. Note any unusual readings or behavior.
  • Milieucheck: Zorg ervoor dat de installatieomgeving binnen de aanbevolen temperatuur- en vochtigheidsbereiken blijft.
