Vinsamlegast lesið allar leiðbeiningar og viðvaranir vandlega fyrir uppsetningu og notkun. Ef þessum leiðbeiningum er ekki fylgt getur það valdið raflosti, eldsvoða eða alvarlegum meiðslum.
- Tengdu alltaf rafhlöðuna fyrst við hleðslustýringuna, síðan sólarselluna og að lokum við álagið. Aftengdu í öfugri röð.
- Ensure all wiring is correctly polarized and securely connected to prevent short circuits.
- Notið viðeigandi rofa eða öryggi fyrir allar tengingar.
- Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the controller. Refer to qualified service personnel.
- Setjið stjórntækið upp á vel loftræstum stað, fjarri eldfimum efnum og beinu sólarljósi.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with batteries and electrical systems.

4. Uppsetning
Follow these steps for proper installation of your HQST MPPT Solar Charge Controller:
- Uppsetning: Choose a dry, well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure adequate space around the controller for air circulation. The controller dimensions are approximately 5.91" x 2.42" x 4.16" (L x W x H).
- Rafhlöðutenging: Connect the battery cables to the battery terminals on the charge controller. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). This connection must be made first.
- Tenging sólarplötu: Connect the solar panel cables to the solar panel terminals on the charge controller. Ensure correct polarity.
- Tenging við álag (valfrjálst): If using a DC load directly from the controller, connect the load cables to the load terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
- Hitaskynjari (valfrjálst): Connect the external temperature sensor to the designated interface. This allows for temperature compensation of battery charging voltage.
- Remote Meter (Optional): Connect the remote meter (RM-6) to the communication interface for external display and control.

5.2. Hleðsla Stages
Stýringin notar 5-stage charging algorithm to optimize battery life and performance:
- Hraðhleðsla: Initial bulk charging phase.
- Holding Charge: Absorption phase, maintaining a constant voltage.
- Uppörvunargjald: Raises voltage to ensure full charge.
- Flotagjald: Maintains battery at a full state of charge.
- Equalization (for lead-acid batteries only): Ofhleður reglulega til að jafna rafhlöðumagntages.
