4. ማዋቀር እና መጫን
4.1 መጫን
Mount the controller vertically on a non-flammable surface, ensuring adequate airflow around the heatsink fins. Avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent overheating. Leave sufficient space above and below the unit for cable connections and heat dissipation.
4.2 የወልና ግንኙነቶች
Follow the wiring sequence carefully to prevent damage to the unit or battery system:
- የባትሪ ግንኙነት፡- Connect the battery cables to the 'BATTERY' terminals. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). Use appropriately sized cables and fuses.
- Solar Panel (PV) Connection: Connect the solar panel cables to the 'PV' terminals. Verify correct polarity. Do not exceed the maximum open circuit voltagሠ የ 150 ቪ.
- ግንኙነትን ጫን (ከተፈለገ) If your model includes a load output, connect your DC loads to the 'LOAD' terminals. This output is typically protected against over-discharge.
- VE.Direct Connection: For wired communication with other Victron devices or a computer, use a VE.Direct cable.
- VE.Can Connection: For advanced system integration and communication, connect VE.Can cables to the designated ports.
- Relay and Remote Terminals: These terminals can be used for external control or signaling, as configured via the VictronConnect app.
