5. Uppsetning og uppsetning

Follow these steps carefully to set up your Offgridtec Autark Pro XL solar system. Ensure all safety precautions are observed.

5.1. Mounting Solar Panels

• Choose a location for the solar panels that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day, free from shading.
• Securely mount the four 200W solar panels using appropriate mounting hardware (not included) for your specific application (e.g., roof mounts for RVs, ground mounts for stationary use).
• Ensure proper tilt and orientation for optimal energy harvest based on your geographical location.

5.2. Wiring Solar Panels to Charge Controller

• Connect the solar panels in series or parallel as required to meet the MPPT charge controller's input voltage and current specifications. For this 24V system, typically panels are wired in series-parallel configuration.
• Use the provided 8m solar cable and MC4 connectors to connect the solar panel array to the 'PV Input' terminals on the MPPT charge controller. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
• Mikilvægt: Cover the solar panels with an opaque material during wiring to prevent voltage generation and potential shock.

5.3. Connecting Battery to Charge Controller

• Place the 100Ah LiFePO4 battery in a secure, well-ventilated location.
• Connect the provided 1.5m 10mm² battery cable with the MIDI fuse holder to the positive terminal of the battery. Install one of the 40A MIDI fuses into the holder.
• Connect the other end of the battery cable (with M8 screw terminal) to the 'Battery Input' positive terminal on the MPPT charge controller.
• Connect a separate negative battery cable (not included, but typically part of the system wiring) from the battery's negative terminal to the 'Battery Input' negative terminal on the MPPT charge controller.
• Athugið: Always connect the battery to the charge controller áður connecting the solar panels.

5.4. Connecting Inverter to Battery

• Mount the sine wave voltage converter in a dry, well-ventilated area, ensuring sufficient clearance for cooling.
• Install the MEGA fuse holder between the inverter's positive input terminal and the battery's positive terminal. Insert one of the 150A MEGA fuses.
• Connect the inverter's positive input to the battery's positive terminal (via the MEGA fuse).
• Connect the inverter's negative input directly to the battery's negative terminal.
• Gakktu úr skugga um að allar tengingar séu þéttar og öruggar.

5.5. Initial Power-Up Sequence

• Once all connections are verified, first connect the battery to the MPPT charge controller. The controller's display should illuminate.
• Next, uncover the solar panels. The charge controller will begin to detect the solar input and start charging the battery.
• Finally, switch on the sine wave inverter. Check for any error indicators on the inverter.
