5. Gosod a Gosod

Follow these steps for proper installation of your solar charge controller.

5.1 Gosod y Rheolydd

  • Choose a dry, well-ventilated location, protected from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and moisture.
  • Ensure there is sufficient space around the controller for heat dissipation, especially around the cooling fins.
  • Mount the controller vertically on a solid surface using the provided screws.

5.2 Gwifro Cysylltiadau

Refer to the wiring diagrams below for correct connection sequence. Always connect in the following order:

  1. Cysylltwch y Batri: Connect the battery to the controller's battery terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The controller will automatically detect the battery voltage.
  2. Cysylltwch y Panel Solar: Connect the solar panel array to the controller's PV terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
  3. Cysylltwch y Llwyth DC (Dewisol): Connect the DC load to the controller's load terminals. Ensure correct polarity.

To disconnect the system, follow the reverse order: disconnect load, then solar panel, then battery.
