5. Безбедносна упутства
- Уверите се да су сви спојеви чврсти и безбедни како бисте спречили лабаве спојеве који могу изазвати прекомерно загревање.
- Always connect the battery to the charge controller first, then the solar panel, and finally the load. Disconnect in the reverse order.
- Do not connect an inverter directly to the load terminals of the charge controller. Connect inverters directly to the battery.
- Install the controller in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and moisture.
- Уверите се да систем волtage (12V or 24V) matches the battery bank voltage. The controller automatically detects this.
- Use appropriate wire gauges for all connections to prevent voltagе пад и прегревање.
- Носите заштиту за очи када радите са батеријама.
6. Инсталација (Подешавање)
Follow these steps for proper installation of your solar charge controller.
- Монтажа: Choose a dry, well-ventilated location for mounting the controller. Ensure there is sufficient space around the controller for heat dissipation. Use the mounting holes provided on the unit.
- Повежите батерију: Connect the battery to the battery terminals on the charge controller. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The LCD display should illuminate, indicating the controller has detected the battery voltage.
- Повежите соларну плочу: Connect the solar panel to the solar panel terminals on the charge controller. Ensure correct polarity. The controller will begin charging the battery if sunlight is available.
- Connect the Load: Connect your DC loads (e.g., lights, fans) to the load terminals. Ensure correct polarity. The USB-A port can also be used for charging compatible devices.
Important Connection Order: Always connect the battery first, then the solar panel, and finally the load. Disconnect in the reverse order: load first, then solar panel, then battery.

Слика 6.2: Visual step-by-step guide for connecting the HQST Solar Charge Controller: 1. Connect the battery. 2. Connect the solar panel. 3. Connect the load (light bulb). This sequence ensures safe and proper system setup.
7. Операција
Once installed, the controller operates automatically. The LCD display provides real-time information about your system.
7.1 LCD Display and Button Functions
The LCD cycles through various parameters such as battery voltage, charging current, load current, and temperature. The single red button is used to manually cycle through display modes or to enter settings for load control (e.g., timer settings for lights).
- Кратки притисак: Cycles through display parameters.
- Дуг притисак (приближно 5 секунде): Enters or exits setting mode for load control.
7.2 Контрола оптерећења
The controller offers programmable load control. You can set the load to turn on/off based on daylight or a timer. Refer to the specific settings menu on the LCD for detailed configuration. The USB-A port is typically powered when the load output is active.
